As registrations for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry examinations continue nationwide, Interswitch, an integrated payments and digital commerce company, has simplified the process for prospective candidates by providing secure, reliable, and widely accessible payment channels for the purchase of UTME ePINs.
It stated in a press release on Tuesday that purchasing an ePIN is one of the earliest and most critical steps in the registration process for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examinations. Given the time-sensitive nature of the registration window and the high volume of transactions involved, dependable payment platforms are essential to enable candidates to proceed without delays or challenges.
The JAMB 2026 ePINs can now be purchased via Interswitch-enabled platforms, including the Quickteller mobile app and web platform, as well as the Interswitch Payment Gateway integrated into the official JAMB website. These channels are designed to deliver fast, secure, and seamless payment experiences with nationwide reach. To purchase a UTME or DE PIN, candidates are required to visit the JAMB e-Facility portal, verify their profile code, and select Interswitch as their preferred payment option.
Speaking on Interswitch’s role in supporting the registration process, Olawale Akanbi, Divisional Head, Growth Marketing (Merchants & Ecosystem), Interswitch, said the company remains committed to simplifying access to education through trusted payment solutions.
“At Interswitch, we understand how critical the UTME registration process is for millions of Nigerian students and their families. By providing secure, trusted, and widely accessible payment channels for JAMB ePIN purchases, we are helping candidates complete their registration with confidence and focus on preparing for their examinations,” Akanbi said.
He added that Interswitch’s payment platforms are built to handle high transaction volumes while maintaining strong security standards, particularly during peak registration periods.
The Interswitch-backed platforms offer multiple benefits, including secure transactions, convenience, and nationwide accessibility. With flexible payment options available, candidates and their sponsors can choose the channel that best suits their needs and location.
JAMB-accredited registration centres are also encouraged to guide candidates towards Interswitch-powered payment channels to ensure a smooth and error-free ePIN purchase experience. Through the initiative, Interswitch continues to reinforce its position as a trusted partner in Nigeria’s education ecosystem, leveraging technology to enable seamless access to essential services for students nationwide.
As UTME registration timelines remain time-sensitive, prospective candidates are encouraged to purchase their JAMB 2026 ePINs early via the Interswitch Payment Gateway, Quickteller, or accredited agents nationwide to avoid last-minute congestion, delays, or payment failures.
