Why choose StepEx?
Accessible
Education should be available to everyone - not just those with deep pockets.
Unlike the traditional debt providers who base their lending decisions upon what you have historically earnt, we make our assessment based upon what we think you will earn once you are qualified.
“We look forward not back”.
Affordable
Income-linked repayments that are affordable
With us your repayments will go up and down in line with your future income and will only be for the duration that we agree with you at the outset of your contract.
“Flexible and finite repayments“.
Aligned
Payment for your qualification based on earnings success
The amount you pay for your qualification is based on the initial earnings you achieve with that qualification.
So course providers have an incentive to ensure they provide relevant education and select students they believe will benefit from the course.
“a success-fee for course providers”
Our story.
StepEx was founded in 2017 by Daniel George, who realised that to achieve your professional potential you need to invest in yourself. From humble roots, he was unable to get the finance he needed for an MBA but was fortunate enough to get a scholarship instead. He realised that very few scholarships are avilable and that many people with high potential cannot afford the qualifications to achieve their professional goals.
The product was designed and developed with experienced leaders from the finance industry and the UK’s financial regulator. Daniel founded StepEx to create a new way to finance education that gives equal opportunity to all. The ethos of the company has been driven by his belief that your career should be based on where you are capable of going and not where you have been.
You deserve the opportunity to be your best.
