We will need proof of identity, address and income to process your loan application.

Proof of income

To verify your income we need to see your most recent personal bank statements for the account that your income is paid into. These should show your name and address. Bank statements can be downloaded as a PDF from all bank websites, on all devices.

If you are self employed, you can use your tax assessment forms for the last two years. These documents, which must include tax returns and Revenue acceptance forms, can be obtained from your accountant or from Revenue.

If your income is not paid into your account, you can use a photo or PDF of a payslip, social welfare receipt, your most recent pension statement or tax certificate.

You can make repayments on your loan automatically by direct debit, according to the terms of your loan agreement. Please see question below on ‘How do I set up or amend a direct debit?’

If you’re late with a payment, you can use your debit card to make it, by calling us on 0818 205 410.

The application process is an online one and documents can only be uploaded through our Document Centre. Please don't post your documents but check out our guide to uploading them online.
