Remita, one of Nigeria’s leading fintech companies, said it is easing the process for students seeking admission into tertiary institutions as registration opens for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry programmes.
The platform allows candidates and their families to navigate the digital registration system with greater efficiency, securing ePINs in a structured and data-driven manner. The process, often seen as a critical hurdle in Nigeria’s competitive higher education landscape, demands timely completion of steps and careful attention to procedural details.
In a statement on Friday, Remita revealed that it had upgraded its platform to reduce friction, improve digital connectivity between students, families, and institutions, and provide a smoother experience for candidates completing this essential administrative step.
Through its upgraded website and mobile app, Remita allows parents and candidates to pay for JAMB services directly, maintain full visibility of their transactions, obtain original receipts, and earn rewards for every payment made. These improvements ensure that payments are secure, efficient, and independent of third-party intermediaries.
Remita is also extending support to trusted partners within the education ecosystem, including schools and training institutions. These organisations can now process ePINs seamlessly within their own systems, reducing operational stress and protecting candidates from exploitation.
Executive Director of Business Development at Remita, Abayomi Oniku, said, “Education is the greatest investment in Nigeria’s tomorrow, and Remita will continue to ensure that payments are a bridge, never a barrier to opportunity.”
Head of Digital Assets and Partnerships at Remita, Alisa Chinedu, added, “This year, we are making the JAMB ePIN experience more intuitive and more human through our AI assistant and stronger partnerships with trusted institutions and stakeholders that guide students toward a prosperous future.”
Remita’s initiatives reflect its continued commitment to financial inclusion, digital access, and economic participation. As a designated significant national payments and digital public infrastructure provider, the company is connecting people, institutions, and aspirations through systems Nigerians can rely on both at home and abroad.
