As registration opens for the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry examinations, Remita has announced enhanced digital payment options to simplify how candidates can access their JAMB ePINs.

The payment solutions provider said it is making the process more intuitive, reliable, and inclusive by reducing friction and strengthening digital connections between students, families, and institutions to ensure candidates can complete the payment step with greater ease.

According to the company, Remita is expanding access, convenience, and rewards across its digital platforms, empowering individuals and communities to transact securely without relying on third party intermediaries. Through its enhanced website and mobile app, parents and candidates can pay for JAMB services independently, maintain full visibility of their transaction records, obtain original transaction receipts, and earn rewards on every payment.

Beyond individual candidates and parents who can navigate digital platforms, Remita said it is also empowering trusted partners in the education ecosystem. Schools, training institutions, and other public minded organisations are supported by Remita to seamlessly process ePINs in their environments to eliminate operational stress and protect candidates from exploitation.

Abayomi Oniku, executive director of Business Development at Remita, 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."

Alisa Chinedu, head of Digital Assets and Partnerships at Remita, 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."

The company described these initiatives as representing Remita's commitment to its responsibility as a leader in facilitating financial inclusion, digital access, and greater economic participation in Nigeria's evolving payments ecosystem. As a designated national payments and digital public infrastructure provider, Remita said it is focused on connecting people, institutions, and aspirations through systems Nigerians can depend on.
