Student Finance Direct - essential maintenance

Student Finance Direct online services will be unavailable from 5.00pm until 8.00pm Wednesday 27th August, to allow for essential maintenance.

Full services will be available after this time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

New repayment site for customers

We are delighted to announce that our new website is now live. This can be found at www.studentloanrepayment.co.uk.

Student Loan Repayment provides information and guidance for anyone who has completed their studies and has a student loan with SLC. It also offers a range of online services for you to:

• Calculate your balance online
• Update your contact information
• Make online loan payments by debit or credit card

We believe you will find these improvements useful, especially if you live or work overseas.
This is available to both customers with Fixed Term and Income Contingent Repayment loans.

If you used Student Finance Direct to apply for grants or loans, you can use your existing ART ID, secret answer and password to login and take advantage of our secure portal.
If you have an existing loan with SLC, expect to receive a letter to tell you about our new service.
