Quick answer
Is SBI a good choice for an education loan for New Zealand?
Low secured rates and very high limits, but slower and collateral-heavy. SBI lends for New Zealand: above ₹7.5 lakh up to ₹3 crore under Global Ed-Vantage, as published on SBI's scheme page. A typical New Zealand master's on our data (VUW (Wellington), ₹48 lakh – ₹62 lakh) needs about ₹44 lakh; at 10.5% over 10 years the EMI is about ₹59,371 a month.
