What it is
HELB issues a Compliance Certificate to borrowers who are up to date with their repayments, or still in the grace period. (helb.co.ke)
Once a loan is fully repaid, HELB issues a Certificate of Clearance. (helb.co.ke)
If you never had a HELB loan, you apply for the Non-Loanee Compliance Certificate. (helb.co.ke)
