Makati City, Metro Manila -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2010 -- As part of the ISA Group Service, we engaged STG Finance Ltd. In the UK to jointly provide loan funding for our students with major financial institutions in the Philippines.

STG Finance: International Student Advisors (ISA 4U Ltd): The agreements made between STG and HSBC, Nippon Finance, Emjen Finance and AG Finance means the Filipino students can take advantage of “hassle free” loans to help with both tuition fees and living costs in the UK.

The rates and term of the loans varies depending on the type of course the student is enrolled on but the flexibility of our facilities allows for the repayments to be made directly in the UK through the deduction of the monthly repayments from your work-placement organisation who are aware of the need for some students to arrange funds to cover their tuition and living cost whilst in the UK.

STG Finance: International Student Advisors (ISA 4U Ltd): In addition, STG Finance also arranges for the students UK bank account to be opened upon arrival in the UK, the student, having already completed all the requirements needed to open a bank account once they have received their visa and are due to leave for the UK to start their course.

The vast majority of work-placement organisations will only pay remuneration directly into a student’s bank account and it is therefore very important that students going to the UK are not only aware of this factor but they have already taken steps to ensure that they have a bank account in the UK that can be activated upon arrival. This is simply done by visiting the nearest Lloyds Bank branch and producing the student’s passport for the verification that they are in the UK and the account is then immediately activated.

STG Finance: International Student Advisors (ISA 4U Ltd): Without this type of feature many students have found that it is taken up to 8 weeks to open a UK bank account due to the documentation that they have to submit to the bank to open their account.

STG Finance has been helping Filipinos for more than 5 years with loans and bank accounts and this has proved to be an invaluable service to all Filipinos whether workers, students, or dependants going to the UK.
