    We looked into this you can ask for 1yr break in payment while you get set up down under giving you time to save, you could always pay the money to a paypal account and withdraw it to a uk account then pay the student loan company avoiding transfer fees.

    UK Student Finance

    Hello,

     

    Myself and my girlfriend have just moved to Sydney. She has a student finance loan that we would like to pay off, and we are looking for the best way to do this.

    Has anyone recently had the same issue with a loan issued after 1998 and before 2012?

    She earns over the UK threshold for Oz workers.

    Can we pay into an Aussie account, and can we claim the tax back on this or have it taken pre-tax as we would in the UK?

    The worry is that we have to pay 295 pounds a month (minimum payment) after tax and after financial exchange rates. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
