Apply for a season ticket loan (I have had a loan previously)

You will need one of these two things:  

• a link to the web page showing the cost of your season ticket
• a screen print of the web page with the ticket cost.

And you will need one of these three things:

• a scanned copy of your previous season ticket
• a receipt for your previous season tickets
• bank or credit card statement showing the ticket purchase

UCL will check that the ticket price and address are right before authorising the loan.  

If your application meets the requirements of the Season Ticket Loan Policy then Payroll and Pension Services will receive an automated notification from MyFinance to authorise your application.  

UCL will do additional checks if the application is for more than £10,000 and may contact you if a taxable benefit applies to you. 

UCL pays out season ticket loans once a week. You can view the status of your application in MyFinance. If the status says ‘paid’, this means the loan will be paid the following Tuesday.

Once you receive the payment, it will be deducted from your salary in 10 equal instalments. The deduction will appear on your payslip as 'Season Ticket Loan Deduction'.
