How Do I Transfer Cash Fund From Intellimali to My Bank Account?

Intellimali Voucher

Intellimali has six different categories of allowance; Food, Clothing, Tuition, Accommodation, Books, and Cash, but focuses more on the first five because they can be accessed at any time using your Intellicard. But on occasions where your funder or institution sends an instruction for you to receive cash funds, Intellimali sends the cash directly to the bank account you filled in within 7 days.

You can access the fund directly from your account using your bank card. As of the time of this writing, you cannot transfer other types of allowances to your bank account, you can only access them through your Intellicard or by requesting a voucher.

But if you need cash and need to withdraw it from your allowance, then simply request a voucher, and instead of buying food or groceries with it, withdraw the money at Shoprite or Van Schaik Bookstore. Most people who have tried to use a voucher at Pick n Pay have reported that they do not accept vouchers.

After withdrawing the money, you can now pay it into your personal account if you wish to.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intellimali Cash Fund

Here are answers to some of the questions you may have regarding Intellimali cash allowance:

How Long Does It Take For Me To Receive My Cash Allowance?

You should receive your cash allowance within 7 working days after Intellimali receives the instruction to send it to you. For students who receive cash allowance on a monthly basis, it is sent out on the first of every month and within 24 hours, you should receive it.
