Interswitch, a leading payments and digital commerce company in Nigeria, has announced improvements to the registration payment infrastructure for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry examinations. This enhancement is aimed at simplifying the payment process for prospective candidates, allowing them to securely and conveniently purchase their UTME ePINs. The company emphasized that as registration continues nationwide, having dependable payment platforms is crucial for candidates who face a time-sensitive registration window.

The registration process for the JAMB examinations is significantly influenced by the ability of candidates to purchase their ePINs in a reliable manner. Interswitch’s initiative addresses this need by offering various platforms where candidates can easily make their payments. Candidates can now buy their ePINs through Interswitch-enabled platforms such as Quickteller on both mobile and web, in addition to the official JAMB website's integrated Payment Gateway, thus ensuring a smooth transaction experience amidst a high volume of transactions.

The enhancement of the payment infrastructure by Interswitch not only supports the registration process for the UTME examinations but also highlights the growing integration of digital payment solutions in Nigeria’s educational framework. This move ensures that candidates can focus on their preparations rather than facing payment challenges, ultimately impacting their aspirations for tertiary education positively.
