NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 5 – The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has announced the migration of its services to the e-citizen portal in conformity with the government’s single digital payment system.
In a statement, HELB said that it had integrated with the system that now hosts several government agencies.
”HELB has seamlessly integrated with the e-citizen payment platform. Payments to HELB will henceforth be channeled through the HELB systems (USSD, mobile app, loanee portal or employer portal) to the e-citizen gateway,” read the statement from HELB in part.
The government, through Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njunguna Ndung’u, gazetted the e-Citizen portal in December last year as the official government digital payments platform.
The program is aimed at increasing revenue collection, minimizing the cost of collection, and enhancing service delivery.
It ensures that citizens, non-citizens, and business entities can access government services online and make payments electronically using paybill number 222-222.
