NSFAF / BANK WINDHOEK PAYMENT CARD UPDATE

Windhoek 15 August 2019 – The Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) would like to inform the entire students population that are funded that the FUND has started with the process of onboarding of continuing students by issuing them with the Bank Windhoek NSFAF Student Account cards.

This process started on the 5th August 2019 in Windhoek and it is expected to be completed over a period of four months or as soon as all students have obtained their payment card. Both the University of Namibia and the University of Science and Technology centres in Windhoek have been selected as the initial onboarding venues due its centrality and the highest concentration of students.

All students that find themselves in Windhoek from all Institutions of Higher learning who are eligible for the payment card are invited to go to these centers for assistance or any Bank Windhoek branch in Windhoek.

Both the Fund and the Bank are in close collaboration with student’s representative councils to ensure that this process is smooth and that all students are attended to during the onboarding process.

It is mandatory that students must complete the online survey on our website before the collection of their card. www.nsfaf.na

Only the Namibian Identify document will be required during the issuance of the payment card. Cards issued are instantly activated, parents and friends can deposit money into your account.

A detailed program outlining the onboarding process in all other regions will be communicated during the week of the 19th August 2019.

NOTE: ALL NSFAF payment card inquiries are best addressed if channeled through your students representative councils and must be directed to NSFAF at Marketing&Communications@nsfaf.na
