There are various ways of repaying your Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) loan. Most people prefer repaying it through the bank not knowing that they can also wire their loan payments via their mobile phones.
Repaying your Helb loan through M-Pesa is faster and convenient. In fact, it is the easiest way since you don't need to visit a bank in order to make the payment.
M-Pesa has made it easier for loanees to repay their loans without any hustle.
Just like when paying your bills through M-Pesa, you will be required to enter the Helb paybill number and in this case, your identification number is your account number.
