[font=Arial", "sans-serif]Thank you for contacting us on boards.[/font]

[font=Arial", "sans-serif]As with all lending, including student lending the decision to allow a guarantor is decided on a case by case basis and is at the discretion of the bank. It is not a specific requirement that the guarantor be a relative however certain criteria will apply, therefore, we would ask that you contact your account holding branch directly where a representative will be happy to discuss this further with you.[/font]

[font=Arial", "sans-serif]Should you require contact details for your branch please see here.[/font]

Hi

The local student branch officer, has bent over backwards for me trying to get my loan, but the underwriter seems to say that it has to be blood relative? can you confirm please.
Cheers

Hi Zombie nation,

As mentioned above all lending applications are reviewed on a case by case basis therefore, as we are not aware of the specifics of your application we cannot comment further. In this instance we would suggest you contact an advisor in your branch who can query this with our underwriting department for you.

Thanks,
