Before You Fly
EduLend provides a country-specific pre-departure checklist covering all documents you must carry — academic, financial, visa, insurance, and personal. We review your documents before you travel to avoid any issues at immigration.
We help you open a bank account before you land. For Canada — Scotiabank/TD Bank international student pack. For USA — Wise/Revolut/Charles Schwab setup. For UK — Starling/Monzo/HSBC.
Ensure your accommodation booking is confirmed and the address matches your immigration documents. EduLend's team double-checks this before you fly.
We help you carry the optimal mix of cash, forex card, and digital payment options for your destination country — enough for the first 2 weeks until local banking is set up.
After You Arrive
We guide you step-by-step on applying for your country-specific identity number: SIN (Canada), SSN (USA), NIN (UK), TFN (Australia) — essential for employment and banking.
SIN — Canada 
SSN — USA 
NIN — UK 
TFN — AustraliaGuidance on opening a local bank account within the first week of arrival. Campus banking tours, document requirements, and appointment support.
We provide guidance on legal part-time work opportunities for students in each destination country — on-campus jobs, work permits, pay rates, and popular student jobs.
