For parents of college-bound students

Your Junio kid is heading to college.

Hostel deposits, a laptop, the first semester's tuition. The numbers change, and most families end up financing some of it. That's where Securis, our sister NBFC, comes in — small personal loans (₹50K–₹5L) designed for Indian college students.

  • RBI-registered NBFC
  • ₹50K – ₹5L
  • Zero foreclosure
  • 1-2 day disbursal

Education loans by Securis — what you get

Securis Finance is an RBI-registered NBFC built by Firstpay Technologies, the same team behind Junio. It offers small personal loans (₹50,000 – ₹5,00,000) designed specifically for Indian college students:

  • Interest-only EMIs during the course. You pay only the monthly interest while your child is studying (course duration + 6 months). Full amortising EMI starts after.
  • Zero foreclosure or prepayment charges. Close the loan any time without penalty — the total cost shrinks the earlier you close.
  • 1-2 working day disbursal. Most applications are credit-assessed and funded within two working days. No collateral required.
  • Built for the small-to-mid ask. ₹50K for a hostel deposit, ₹85K for a MacBook, ₹1.5L for a coding bootcamp — the categories where bank education loans are slow or won't bother.

We won't pretend Securis is the only option. Bank education loans are usually cheaper for large tuition needs (₹10 lakh+), and government schemes like the Vidya Lakshmi portal are worth looking at first. Securis is the right pick when the ask is small-to-mid, the timeline is fast, or the family doesn't want to pledge collateral.

The money decisions that newly show up

A few large, less-frequent expenses arrive together in the first year. These aren't pocket-money sized — they're "big-ticket, one-time, hopefully-financed" problems:

  • Hostel + mess deposit. ₹40,000 to ₹1,50,000 upfront, depending on the city and accommodation type.
  • A laptop that lasts four years. Engineering and design students need ₹65,000–₹1,20,000 of compute. CS and AI programs assume you have it on day one.
  • Semester fees. Tier-1 private colleges in India now run ₹2.5–₹6 lakh per year. Tier-2 schools are lighter but still meaningful.
  • Bootcamps, certifications, prep courses. CFA / GMAT / coding bootcamp during or right after the degree — another ₹50,000 to ₹4,00,000 to plan for.

Most families fund part of this from savings, part from a loan. Bank education loans cover tuition well but are slow on the smaller asks (laptop, hostel deposit, prep courses) and frequently require collateral. That's the gap a personal loan for students fills.

And Junio still works through college

Most of what makes Junio useful for a 14-year-old is just as useful at 18. Day-to-day spending, weekend plans, online subscriptions, pocket-money tracking — all of that continues:

  • Daily spends. Mess top-ups, auto rides, coffee after class — same Junio card, same parental visibility, same controls.
  • Online subscriptions. Spotify, Netflix, gaming top-ups — Junio keeps these off your main credit card and within a monthly limit.
  • Sending money to friends. P2P UPI transfers stay free, with the same per-month cap your family has been using.
