Line of credit: A financial boost

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT LINE OF CREDIT?

Focus on your studies

The student line of credit helps you focus on your studies by reducing the stress related to your finances.

Coping with the unexpected

A coffee on a keyboard or tires to change can have a big impact on an already tight budget. With our help, you have access to an amount in case of financial contingencies.

BENEFITS OF A STUDENT LINE OF CREDIT

Flexible repayment

You can repay your line of credit at any time during your studies, in whole or in part, and even up to 6 months after graduation.

Higher amount allocated

Depending on your program of study and your financial needs, you could get up to $275,000 to cover any contingencies.

Lower fees and interest

For the same amount of money, the line of credit has a lower interest rate than the loan or credit card.
