Meet Jonathan. He's 21 and facing life with a grin!
It’s midterm season and he’s busy working on a major project that’s due tomorrow.
Jonathan hails from a small town in Gaspé. Last year, he left his home, his parents…and his dog Rocky, and set off for the big city to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker.
Of course, this big change caused some new financial needs in Jonathan's life: buying a car (an affordable car, that is!), settling into an apartment, buying his textbooks, paying for groceries and making sure he has enough cash left over to go out with his friends!
With all these expenses, how come Jonathan is so stress-free? First of all, he received a student bursary from Fondation Desjardins. To handle his other expenses, he took out a student line of credit. As long as he’s still a student, he only pays the interest on the amount borrowed. And once he graduates, he’ll have 6 months until he needs to begin paying back his line of credit. It’s one of many flexible financial solutions available at Jon’s caisse.
Jonathan also uses AccèsD to check his account balance and pay his bills online. And just in case money is tight at the end of the month, Mom and Dad can always help him out with a money transfer.
If Jon has any questions, he can reach his Desjardins advisor by phone or by e-mail.
A chance to study without stressing about finances—that’s what Desjardins offers to students like Jonathan.
