Technology can certainly be used to solve complex problems across board.
It is, therefore, important to let students, who are students at Government owned universities that, Nigeria’s leading payment solution.
Remita, has simplified the process of paying school fees, from anywhere and at any time.
Let us start with an introduction of what Remita, the platform simplifying payments, is all about.
Remita, is a multi-device platform that enables you to view all your bank balances – from different banks – on a single screen, easily transfer money to one, or, more beneficiaries, pay bills, view detailed transaction reports on-the-go and much more.
This is the solution that powers Treasury Single Account, (TSA) and before the platform came fully on stream, the Federal Government had 20,000 bank accounts but this software converged all of them into one single account.
Good thing is that it also helps organisations as well as individuals and not government alone.
Therefore, if you need to make any payments, including your school fees, then, you can count on this homegrown solution, to help you get this done.
In this post, we are going to show you, how to make payments of your fees, particularly, if you attend a Federal institution.
The first step, is to generate, what is called, the RRR – (Remita Retrieval Reference)
The RRR, is a unique code that makes it easy for any transaction on the platform, to be tracked.
