Student Loan Application

    Hi, 
    I applied for a 1% Student Loan of value €1000 on 3 Dec 2017. It says on the BOI website I should have gotten a response within 24hrs. I didn't back from BOI and I ended up tweeting you & getting a number to call on 7 Dec 2017. I had given an email address that wasn't the original email on my bank details so the loan didn't go through & I'd to reapply on that day - 7 Dec 2017. I received a phone call today 12 Dec 2017 asking me for some further details and I was told a form would be sent to my home address & my email address but I wasn't told when I would receive this. 

    I just want to know when should I receive said form in my email address & when should I find out if my loan has been accepted or not? I had applied in advance of when I would need the money for rent but the deadline is approaching because each section of this application is taking at least 2/3 working days rather than the 24hrs advertised online.

    Hi Ismiseannarose,

    Welcome to Boards, and thanks for your post.

    We'd usually get back to you as soon as we can with a decision when you apply for a loan although sometimes this can take longer. We'd advise that you check your Spam folder and Junk Mail as some e-mails we send you may come through to these folders.

    If the documents have been sent by post, we'd usually advise 3-5 business days, factoring in your areas postal service and Christmas time, this may take longer.

    We're sorry you haven't received your documents sooner as expected. Please get back to us if you need anything else.

    Thanks again, Jane
