The allowance that you receive depends on your consultations with various institutions. They communicate with NSFAS when you register. However, there might be a situation where you try to access your account but you get a message saying that it’s locked.

This may happen because you have typed the password for your NSFAS Wallet incorrectly more than 3 times consecutively. This is a security measure that prevents unauthorized individuals from gaining access to your account. To prevent this from happening, you must memorize your password.

• Also, reply to the message with your ID number.
• After a few moments, you will receive a password.
• Use this password whenever you need to make a transaction.
• Remember to keep this password secure and in your mind at all times. As much as possible, don’t save or keep this password (or any other passwords) on your cellphone.

In case you find yourself unable to access your account because it’s locked, follow these steps to unlock it:

• Log in to your MyNSFAS account using your username and password.
• Go to NSFAS Connect.
