Interswitch Enhances UTME ePIN Payments for Candidates

Interswitch has introduced a simplified payment process for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry ePIN purchases for candidates across Nigeria. This initiative is crucial as the registration period is time-sensitive, and the volume of transactions depends heavily on the payment platform.

Olawal Akanbi, the Division Head of Growth Market Merchant Ecosystem at Interswitch, emphasized the company's commitment to providing secure and reliable payment solutions to millions of Nigerian students and their families. Candidates can purchase their ePINs through various channels, including the QuickTel mobile app, the Interswitch payment gateway, and the official JAMB website.

The platform is designed to handle high transaction volumes while maintaining strong security standards, especially during peak registration periods. Interswitch encourages candidates to purchase their ePINs early to avoid last-minute congestion and payment failures, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner in Nigeria's educational ecosystem.
