How to Withdraw Money From NSFAS Wallet

 Knowing how to withdraw money from the NSFAS Wallet is thus necessary for anyone who desires to access allowances and utilize them for specified reasons. In this article, we will focus on describing what is involved in the withdrawal process and every other thing that one has to know.

How to Withdraw Money from NSFAS Wallet

To access those allowances, beneficiaries typically have to create cash vouchers, otherwise known as NSFAS eWallet vouchers, for subsequent cash withdrawals at designated merchants and store locations. 

Creating cash vouchers consists of a series of steps that can be performed either in the NSFAS’ USSD channel or its web platform.

To create vouchers through the USSD method, one is required to take the following steps:

• Dial *134*176#
• Input the NSFAS Wallet password
• Select ‘Cash Voucher’ by selecting the first option from the subsequently displayed list.
• Input desired amount for withdrawal.

One creates the cash voucher through the web platform by taking the following steps:

• Logging on to https://celbux.appspot.com
• Sign in to NSFAS Wallet account by filling in the mobile number (or username) and password associated with the account.
• I am selecting ‘Pay’ in the resulting window.
• Filling in chosen amount and clicking on ‘Done.’

It is helpful to note that cash vouchers generated are not bound by validity and expiry periods. In other words, a cash voucher never expires after a generation. If the monetary value of the cash voucher is not entirely used up, the balance is returned to a beneficiary’s NSFAS wallet.

With the cash voucher, one can proceed to a merchant or store location accredited by the NSFAS to perform cash withdrawals. For withdrawals, one will be asked to provide the cash voucher generated earlier and state desired withdrawal amount.
