Payment firm begins 2025 UTME ePIN sales
Indigenous payment company, Remita, has commenced the sale of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry forms.
This is as the tertiary institution examination body officially announced the commencement sale of the forms on Monday.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is responsible for conducting university admission exams in Nigeria.
Sales of direct entry application documents and ePIN vending will run from February 3 to April 7, 2025.
“With millions of transactions processed securely annually, Remita remains a trusted partner for educational institutions, students, and businesses.
“Our work with JAMB underscores our dedication to ensuring that candidates can focus on preparing for their future—not worrying about payment delays or inefficiencies,” says Head of Enterprise Assets Team, Remita, Chinedu Alisa.
Candidates can now purchase ePINs effortlessly through various Remita channels, including the Remita website, mobile app, and authorised agent locations.
Alisa emphasised the company’s dedication to education and accessibility, stating, “Education should not be hindered by financial barriers.
“At Remita, we are committed to providing a seamless, inclusive, and secure payment experience that ensures every aspiring university student, regardless of their location or access to banking infrastructure, can register for the UTME without stress. This is more than just a transaction—it’s about unlocking opportunities.”
To further enhance convenience, Remita has empowered agents, schools, and accredited partners across the country, ensuring that ePINs are available through trusted networks.
These partners also benefit from increased commissions when purchasing in bulk via Remita, reinforcing a sustainable ecosystem that rewards efficiency and broadens access to education.
However, Remita warned against unauthorised price inflation by agents, reiterating that ePINs must be sold strictly at JAMB’s approved prices, with violators subject to appropriate penalties.
JAMB has categorised the cost of registration into four different pricing structures to cater to various candidates’ needs. Remita’s multi-channel payment infrastructure ensures that students, regardless of location, can complete their registration without disruption, fostering a fair and transparent admissions process.
