Personal Finance for Graduate Account holders
With our Graduate Finance you can get a head start as you make the transition from university to working life.
AIB First Loan
Graduating is another step among other things, towards financial independence. It may be time to use your earning power to get some finance for the things you want.
AIB First Loan is designed especially for you if you are aged between 18 and 30 and want to borrow a small multiple of your monthly salary. Borrowing small amounts is a great way to get the things you want while staying in control of your spending.

Who can apply?
To apply for a First Loan, you need to:
Be aged between 18 and 30
Have your salary paid into a AIB account and have had at least one month’s salary (minimum €1,500) paid into it
Have met all your direct debits and standing orders on your account in the last six months
Give us a copy of your job contract if we ask you to
Have not held a loan with us before (other than a student loan)
A typical €1,500 one year loan with a variable interest rate of 8.65% and 8.95% APR (Annual Percentage Rate), where the APR does not vary during the term, will have monthly repayments of €130.48, and a total cost of the credit (the total amount repayable less the amount of the loan) of €65.76.
Interest Free Overdraft (up to €1,000)
While you hold a Graduate Account with us, you can apply for an interest free overdraft up to €1,000. We won’t charge you our Standard Overdraft Facility Fee of €25.39 and we won’t charge you interest once we agree with you that you can overdraw your account by up to €1,000. After €1,000 we will charge you Standard Variable 'A' Personal Overdraft Rate which is 11.85% Interest Rate and subject to variation.
An interest Free Overdraft gives you an extra balance on your current account that you can use temporarily.
