HELB Repayment via M-Pesa
How HELB Works
Understanding the HELB loan process
1. Apply for Admission
Get admitted to a recognized Kenyan university or college. You need an admission letter to apply for HELB.
2. Submit HELB Application
Apply online through the HELB student portal. We handle this entire process for you — form filling, document upload, and submission.
3. Loan Processing & Disbursement
HELB processes your application and disburses funds directly to your university (tuition) and bank account (upkeep).
4. Repayment After Graduation
Start repaying one year after graduation or upon employment. Use M-Pesa Paybill 200800, bank deposit, or employer check-off.

Repayment starts one year after graduation or upon employment (whichever comes first). You can repay via M-Pesa Paybill 200800, bank deposit, or check-off system through your employer. Minimum monthly payment is Ksh 500.

A HELB compliance certificate proves you are up-to-date with loan repayments. It is increasingly required for employment clearance, especially in government and public sector jobs. We can help you obtain yours.
