As the number of students applying for Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans surpasses one million, the board has outlined the procedure for withdrawing upkeep funds.
In a notice on Wednesday, August 27, HELB explained that beneficiaries can access their upkeep through mobile money by dialling the self-service USSD code *642#.
Applicants must ensure that the mobile money account used for withdrawal is registered under their official name and national identification number.
HELB further clarified that upkeep funds become available only after beneficiaries receive a second Sure Pay confirmation message.
