HELB was established with the aim of not just recovering all matured loans, but to raise sufficient funds to meet the rising loan demand and attain faster turnaround in Helb loan repayment.
Helb Loan Repayment consists of three tiers:
- Undergraduate section: which deals with the recovery of undergraduate loans.
- Jielimishe Loan: The section is charged with the responsibility of disbursing and recovering loans from salaried students.
- The allocation section: is charged with the responsibility of collection and updates of loanees’ accounts.

Repaying your Student Loan
Undergraduate Loan Repayment starts within one year of completion of studies or within such a period as the Board decides to recall the loan whichever is earlier. However, you can make voluntary payments before or after you complete your studies to reduce your loan balance.
