Repaying your Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loan has been simplified through the use of Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD). This service provides a quick, easy, and secure method to make payments directly from your mobile phone.
Guide on HELB Loan Repayment using USSD:
- Step 01: Begin by dialing *642# on your mobile phone to access the HELB service menu.
- Step 02: If you are a first-time user, you will need to register. Otherwise, log in with your credentials.
- Step 03: Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Loan Repayment’ option in the menu.
- Step 04: Select the M-Pesa option, enter the amount you wish to pay towards your HELB loan, and input your M-Pesa PIN to confirm the transaction.
After completing the payment, you will receive an SMS notification from E-citizen and HELB confirming the transaction. This USSD method is a convenient way to stay on top of your loan repayments, ensuring that you are contributing to your educational investment without the need for a bank visit or internet access.
