What are ISAs?

ISAs are an innovative alternative to traditional fixed payment installment loans. In short, students pay a percentage of their future income for a set period of time, up to a maximum cap, without accruing interest.

Unlike a traditional loan, students do not pay until they find a job and reach the minimum income threshold. The payments adjust according to the level of the student’s income – a true outcome-based model with other downside protections for the student!
