As registrations open nationwide for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) tests, Interswitch, a leading integrated payments and digital commerce company, has enhanced the payment experience for prospective candidates by offering secure, dependable and widely accessible channels for purchasing UTME ePINs
In a press release on Tuesday, the company said acquiring an ePIN remains one of the earliest and most crucial steps in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration process. Given the time‑sensitive nature of the registration window and the anticipated surge in transactions, a resilient payment platform is vital to prevent delays or technical challenges.
Candidates can now obtain their JAMB 2026 ePINs via Interswitch‑enabled platforms, including the Quickteller mobile app and web portal, as well as through the Interswitch Payment Gateway integrated into the official JAMB website. These payment channels have been designed to deliver fast, secure and seamless experiences accessible across Nigeria.
Prospective registrants are advised to visit the JAMB e‑Facility portal, verify their profile code and select Interswitch as their preferred payment option to complete their transaction.
Speaking on Interswitch’s role, Olawale Akanbi, Divisional Head of Growth
Marketing (Merchants & Ecosystem) at Interswitch, emphasised the company’s commitment to supporting educational access through reliable payment technology.“At Interswitch, we understand how critical the UTME registration process is for millions of Nigerian students and their families,” Akanbi said. “By providing secure, trusted and widely accessible payment channels for JAMB ePIN purchases, we are helping candidates complete their registration with confidence, so they can focus on preparing for their examinations.”
He added that the company’s payment platforms are engineered to handle high transaction volumes while maintaining rigorous security standards — particularly during peak registration periods.
Interswitch’s payment solutions offer several advantages, including secure processing, convenience and nationwide availability, giving candidates and their sponsors flexibility to choose the channel most suited to 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.
With the UTME registration period remaining tight, prospective candidates are urged to purchase their JAMB 2026 ePINs early via the Interswitch Payment Gateway, Quickteller, or authorised agents to avoid last‑minute congestion, delays or payment failures.
