Access Loans Directly from the IDP Network

What makes this partnership stand out is the integration of loan services into IDP’s existing admission process. With 77 offices across 63 Indian cities, IDP helps more than one lakh students annually secure admissions in countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Now, thanks to this alliance, Poonawalla Fincorp becomes the sole financial partner offering education loans within IDP’s vast network. This means students no longer need to hunt for financing separately—the loan process is embedded directly into their application journey.

Fast Loan Approvals and High-Value Options

Students can now benefit from instant loan sanctions. The speed of this process is a major advantage for those facing tight timelines for admission and visa applications.

Here are some of the key loan features:

  • Loans up to ₹75 lakh available with instant approval

  • Collateral-free loans up to ₹1 crore

  • Loans up to ₹3 crore with collateral

  • Coverage for tuition fees, living costs, travel, accommodation, books, and insurance

What’s unique is that the loan also extends to cover insurance needs for both the student and their co-applicant, offering a comprehensive financial package.

Leaders Speak on the Partnership

From Poonawalla Fincorp’s side, Vikas Pandey, Chief Business Officer – Consumer Finance and Head – Digital Marketing, expressed confidence in the alliance. He emphasized that the goal is not just to offer loans, but to empower Indian students to achieve their academic dreams by providing financial systems that are fast, accessible, and student-friendly.

Piyush Kumar, Regional Director of IDP South Asia, echoed similar sentiments. He pointed out that students today are more thoughtful about the long-term value of their education—considering career growth, return on investment, and financing options. According to Kumar, this partnership addresses exactly that by offering funding solutions that match evolving student expectations.

Addressing One of the Biggest Concerns

Financial stress continues to be a key challenge in the international education journey. According to a recent IDP study, nearly 66 percent of Indian students cited finances as their top worry while planning to study abroad.

This partnership directly addresses that concern. By merging loan availability with the application process, the collaboration eliminates the need for multiple touchpoints, reducing stress and delays. Students can now stay on track with their admission and visa timelines with more confidence and clarity.

Whether a student is planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Australia or a master’s program in Canada, this new loan offering ensures that financing is no longer a bottleneck. The process is digital-first, fast, and structured to support a variety of education-related expenses.

For many Indian families, this could be the game-changer they’ve been waiting for.
