Frequently asked questions about the Lendwise application
How early do I need to apply?
We suggest applying early (at the time of applying for entrance). We aim to respond to you with a quotation within 2 business days. If you leave your financing planning late, you risk having to scramble for a decision within a tight deadline of paying your deposit and/or commitment fee. This is especially true if you have applied in a late application cycle.
What documents do I need?
You do not need any documents to apply. If you have been habitually resident outside the United Kingdom it is a good idea to source your credit report from your country of residence credit rating agency. If you are offered a loan and accept your loan proposal you may be requested to provide other documents to confirm your employment and salary status, own funds contribution, scholarship.
What happens if the amount I require changes?
If your requirements change our Loans Team will be happy to assist you with other scenarios.
Why do you only offer 3 months of post graduation grace period when other companies offer more than 6?
We closely follow the employment report and other employment statistics of SKEMA GEMBA graduates over the years. Extending the grace period adds up significantly to your cost of financing for no apparent benefit.
