To help 2020 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates avoid long bank queues and overcharging by roadside agents, JAMB has enabled direct online payment via Quickteller and Remita, delivering your registration e-PIN straight to your phone via SMS.

How To Purchase JAMB 2020 Registration e-PIN Online Via Remita & Quickteller

Step 1: Generate Your 10-Digit JAMB Profile Code First

Before paying on Quickteller or Remita, you must generate your unique 10-character Profile Code:

  • Send your names in the order Surname First-Name Middle-Name via SMS to 55019 from your personal phone number (maximum 40 characters including two spaces, e.g., Bola Bature Okoro).
  • You will receive your 10-character Profile Code via SMS on that same phone number.

  1. Visit www.quickteller.com/search/jamb and select either "Pay For UTME" or "Pay For DE".
  2. Enter your 10-digit Profile Code and proceed to make payment with your ATM card.
  3. Your e-PIN will be delivered to your phone via SMS immediately after successful payment.
  4. Take your e-PIN to the nearest accredited CBT centre to complete your biometric registration.

Can I use my mum's ATM card to pay for my e-PIN on Remita if I enter my own Profile Code?

Yes, Vanessa! You can use any valid Nigerian debit/ATM card (your parent's or guardian's) to pay on Remita or Quickteller—what matters is that you enter YOUR own 10-digit Profile Code and registered phone number.
