DisbursementDirect to Arden University
How Disbursement Works
⏱ The loan is a Full Student Loan: repayment begins immediately, with the first instalment due on the day the loan agreement is signed (Day 0). You pay your first monthly instalment plus a one-time £100 admin fee.
🔒 The loan is sanctioned only after the Day 0 payment is made. Once you submit proof of the Day 0 instalment, the lender disburses the tuition directly to Arden University and you begin your programme. You then repay the remaining 17 monthly instalments.
⚠️ GlobCred is a facilitator, not a lender. The final credit decision is made by the lender only. GlobCred does not guarantee loan disbursal.
