3rd level Student overdraft/loan if studying abroad

gordong

Hello,

I am undertaking an MSc in London and have my 3rd level a/c from my undergrad in Trinity College. It is still in use and my primary account, but can I apply for an overdraft/loan if I am not currently studying in Ireland?

To discuss this in more detail and to arrange an application please contact the Lending/ Student Advisor in your account holding branch who will be happy to offer you assistance with this.

We hope this is of benefit to you, if we can offer you any further assistance please let us know.

Thank you Paula,

A customer care representative informed me that my branch is going to call me back tomorrow, but there was some confusion as to whether a loan would be able to be approved as I am not in Ireland to go into the branch in person. Can you shed light on whether it can be arranged over the phone?

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately I was informed that I need to be studying in Ireland to apply.

Kind regards,
