Interswitch, an integrated payments and digital commerce company, convened education portal providers across Southwest Nigeria to discuss enhancing digital payment collection in schools.

The forum included education technology partners, portal providers, and Interswitch representatives who explored the payment needs of schools and strategies for improving operational efficiency. Discussions centered on the role of digital payment infrastructure in school administration, particularly as institutions increasingly adopt digital platforms for admissions, management, and fee collection.

The event underscored the importance of ongoing engagement among payment providers, technology partners, and educational institutions to address emerging challenges and enhance operational efficiency in the education technology ecosystem.
