How SAITA works

Underwritten by AI.
Designed around you.

Traditional lenders ask one question: "Can your parents pay?" SAITA asks a different one: "Where are you going, and what do you need to get there?"

AI-powered loan assessment

01

Tell us about your degree, career direction and goals. Our model scores potential — academic trajectory, sector outlook, and ambition — alongside affordability.

Income-linked repayment

02

Pay a small share of your post-graduation income instead of a fixed bill. If your income dips, your repayment dips. Built for real life after uni.

Real-time financial health

03

A live cockpit for your money — budgets, transactions and goals — so you stay in control while you study and after you graduate.

Secure profile & documents

04

Upload IDs, offer letters and statements in a vault with bank-grade encryption. Your profile is yours, portable across SAITA features.

Income-linked repayments

Repay as a share, not a shackle.

Choose between a traditional fixed-monthly loan, or our flagship income-share plan: 4–8% of your post-graduation salary for a capped period. If you earn under the threshold, you pay zero — no late fees, no stress.

  • Income threshold protection — under £24,000, you pay nothing.
  • Cap on total repayment — you never pay more than the cap.
  • Pause and switch — change between fixed and income-linked twice a year.

Post-grad ready
When you graduate, your dashboard rebalances for your new salary.
Pricing

Honest pricing, no surprises.

We make money when you make money. Lower than a high-street bank, fairer than payday lenders, and you control which repayment plan you take.
