Another 13,000+ citizens getting their cash grants – Finance Minister 

Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh on Monday evening said another 13,168 citizens are getting their $100,000 cash grant, as the government moves ahead with its distribution.

The Finance Minister said this in an update shared on his Facebook page. He said 26,639 citizens completed their self-registration successfully through the recently launched online portal.

Of that number, the registration of 13,168 persons has been verified and processed, allowing those individuals to get their cash grant deposited into their bank accounts within a 24-hour period. Verification and processing continue for the others.

Previously, 48,858 public sector workers received their cash grants through their bank accounts. With those workers and the 13,000+ individuals now receiving the $100,000 transfer, the Finance Minister said the government has already transferred about $6.2 billion directly to Guyanese.

Meanwhile, more than 22,000 individuals have started the process on the new portal. Dr. Singh encouraged those individuals to complete the registration process in its entirety.

The eligibility requirements to receive the National $100,000 Cash Grant paid into your bank account are as follows:

• Must be a Guyanese Citizen aged 18 years and older as at February 28, 2026
• Must have a valid National Identification Card, Digital Identity Card or Guyana Passport
• Registrant must have a bank account in their name at any local commercial bank
• Must be physically present in Guyana to register

The government has set up a national help desk to assist persons. This can be accessed on telephone numbers 501-5085 and 503-2977 during working hours.
