Beneficiaries of the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) will now be able to receive their loans via M-Pesa after the agency partnered with Safaricom to launch a new mobile wallet hosted in its mobile money app.

The platform, which closely mirrors the now widely used mobile banking apps, has also incorporated other loanee-centred features that include loan application, repayment, status check and access to periodic statements.
