Remita, a leading Nigerian fintech company, has introduced an enhanced platform to simplify the registration process for students seeking admission into tertiary institutions. With the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry programmes now open, the company’s upgraded website and mobile app enable candidates and their families to navigate the digital registration system more efficiently.
The platform allows for the secure purchase of ePINs, providing full visibility of transactions and original receipts. This development aims to reduce friction and improve digital connectivity between students, families, and institutions. Remita’s system also offers rewards for payments made, ensuring a smoother experience for candidates.
In addition to supporting individual candidates, Remita is also extending its services to partner institutions, including schools and training organizations. These partners can now process ePINs seamlessly within their own systems, reducing operational stress and protecting candidates from exploitation.
According to Abayomi Oniku, Executive Director of Business Development at Remita, “Education is a vital investment in Nigeria’s future, and our goal is to ensure that payments facilitate, rather than hinder, access to opportunities.” Alisa Chinedu, Head of Digital Assets and Partnerships, added that the company is committed to making the JAMB ePIN experience more intuitive and user-friendly through its AI assistant and partnerships with trusted institutions.
Remita’s initiatives reflect its ongoing commitment to financial inclusion, digital access, and economic participation. As a significant national payments and digital public infrastructure provider, the company aims to connect people, institutions, and aspirations through reliable systems. By streamlining the registration process, Remita is helping to reduce barriers to education and promote greater accessibility for Nigerian students.
The 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry programmes are highly competitive, with thousands of students vying for limited spots in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Remita’s enhanced platform is expected to play a critical role in facilitating the registration process, ensuring that candidates can focus on their academic pursuits rather than navigating complex administrative procedures. With its user-friendly interface and secure payment system, Remita is poised to make a positive impact on Nigeria’s education sector.
