As registration opens for the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry examinations, payment services firm, Remita has further simplified how candidates can directly access their Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) ePINs, making the process more intuitive, reliable and inclusive. It is said that by reducing friction and strengthening digital connections between students, families, and institutions, it is helping to ensure that candidates can complete this important step with greater confidence and ease.

Speaking on the initiative, Remita’s Executive Director, Business Development, Abayomi Oniku, who described education as the greatest investment in Nigeria’s tomorrow, expressed the platform’s readiness to continue to ensure that payments are a bridge and never a barrier to opportunity.

He said the payment platform was expanding access, convenience, and rewards across its digital platforms, empowering individuals and communities to directly transact securely, without relying on third-party intermediaries.

Through its enhanced website and mobile app, he said parents and candidates can pay for JAMB services by themselves, maintain full visibility of their transaction records, obtain original transaction receipts, and earn rewards on every payment made.

Beyond individual candidates and their parents who can easily navigate digital platforms, Oniku said Remita was also empowering trusted partners within the education ecosystem who have traditionally supported students on their education journey to do more.

According to him, schools, training institutions, and other public-minded organisations that support large groups of candidates are now supported by Remita to seamlessly process ePINs within their own environments to eliminate operational stress and protect candidates from exploitation.

These initiatives, Oniku stressed, represent Remita’s continued commitment to its responsibility as a leader in facilitating financial inclusion, digital access, and greater economic participation across Nigeria’s evolving payments ecosystem.

Remita’s Head of Digital Assets and Partnerships, 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.

“As millions of young Nigerians take this important step towards higher education, Remita is right there with them as a partner in progress. In every exam season and every academic transition, Remita remains dependable, forward-looking, and committed to expanding access. Because when education moves forward, Nigeria moves forward too.Candidates and institutions can obtain their 2026 JAMB ePINs and find more information at remita.net/jamb.”
