Celbux Wallet Account: How to Login and Others

About Celbux Wallet:

Celbux is a first-of-its-kind transactional software solution that creates real-time transactions while being incredibly simple to integrate. It is an alternative to having a bank account. NSFAS uses Celbux to power its NSFAS Wallet system (previously known as Sbux) which is used for TVET College students’ NSFAS allowances.

Celbux is a free platform where you don’t need to pay to create an NSFAS Wallet or withdraw your NSFAS allowances. This NSFAS Wallet is secure and is protected by a username and a password. If you’re yet to apply for the scheme, learn how to create a myNSFAS account.
