As millions of Nigerian students gear up for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Remita, the nation’s leading indigenous payment company, is reaffirming its commitment to seamless, secure, and inclusive transactions with the commencement of ePIN sales for UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration.
JAMB Registration Timeline and Process
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) officially commenced the 2025 UTME registration on Monday, February 3, 2025, with sales of Direct Entry application documents and ePIN vending running until April 7, 2025.
To facilitate smooth registration, candidates are required to generate a profile code by sending an SMS with their National Identification Number (NIN) to 55019 or 66019 in the format: NIN [space] 1234567890. Upon receiving their 10-digit profile code, candidates can purchase their ePINs via Remita’s multi-channel platform.
Why Choose Remita for JAMB ePIN Purchase?
Remita has been a trusted partner in Nigeria’s education ecosystem, eliminating payment bottlenecks and making essential services more accessible. The company’s integration into JAMB’s annual registration process further strengthens its reputation as a secure and reliable payment facilitator.
Chinedu Alisa, Head of Enterprise Assets Team at Remita, emphasized the company’s dedication to financial inclusion and efficiency:
“With millions of transactions processed securely every year, Remita remains a trusted partner for educational institutions, students, and businesses. Our work with JAMB underscores our commitment to ensuring that candidates can focus on preparing for their future, without worrying about payment delays or inefficiencies.”
Multiple Payment Channels for Convenience
Candidates can purchase ePINs effortlessly through various Remita channels, including:
- Remita Website
- Remita Mobile App
- Authorized Agent Locations
Through a simple and intuitive process, candidates can visit the Remita website, select their preferred JAMB registration category (UTME Only, UTME + Mock, or Mock Only), enter their profile code and registered phone number, complete payment, and receive their PIN instantly.
Ensuring Accessibility and Transparency
To further enhance accessibility, Remita has empowered agents, schools, and accredited partners nationwide, ensuring that ePINs are available through trusted networks. These partners also benefit from increased commissions when purchasing in bulk via Remita, reinforcing a sustainable and efficient payment ecosystem.
However, Remita has cautioned against unauthorized price inflation by agents, stressing that ePINs must be sold strictly at JAMB’s approved prices. Violators will face appropriate penalties.
A Commitment to Digital Transformation in Education
Beyond JAMB registration, Remita plays a vital role in Nigeria’s education sector, facilitating tuition payments and other academic transactions. Its commitment to financial inclusion and digital innovation has positioned it as a key player in Nigeria’s fintech landscape.
A UNESCO report highlights that technology-driven solutions are pivotal in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). Strategic collaborations between educational institutions and fintech providers like Remita help drive increased enrollment and completion rates.
By continuously innovating and leveraging its robust payment infrastructure, Remita is not only facilitating JAMB registration but also ensuring that every student, regardless of location, has an equal opportunity to pursue higher education.
