Back-to-School Loan FAQs

Telcoe’s Back-to-School Loan is designed to help families absorb the cost of books, new clothes, computers, and other education essentials at the start of the school year. Like our other personal loans, a Back-to-School Loan offers speedy access to credit without having to put up collateral, and at a lower APR** than a credit card.

You can borrow up to $1,000 with a Back-to-School loan, depending on your needs and the strength of your credit.

Back-to-School Loans are offered with terms up to 12 months.

Once approved, funds are dispersed as a single lump sum directly into your Prime Savings Account.

Back-to-School Loans are fixed-rate loans. That allows borrowers to make a single, fixed monthly payment for the duration of their loan term, making it easier to budget and to plan ahead for other priorities.
