Chances are that you have heard about Remita if you have ever had to make payment to any university, polytechnic, college of education, or technical college in Nigeria as a student.
Also, corps members on the NYSC scheme over the past ten years would have doubly encountered Remita. First during the scheme enrolment process and afterward while receiving their monthly “allawee”.
Millions encounter Remita earlier as it is the go-to platform for buying JAMB, WAEC, and NECO forms, amongst other things.
However, aside from the examples above, are there other things you wish were possible with Remita? Well, it turns out your wish is an existing reality waiting to be discovered.
For starters, you’ll need to download the Remita app to make the most of what Remita offers.
7 Things You Can Do with the Remita App
1. Pay your school fees easily
The Remita mobile app enables students to make payments for a variety of fees, including registration, tuition, departmental dues, transcript, and others, by themselves from their bank accounts, eNaira wallets, or debit cards without the need to go to banks or rely on third parties.
Just make sure there’s money in your account or wallet and you’re good to go.
2. Earn Money on Campus making Payments for others
Remita is home to 5,000+ billers. This means students can leverage our platform to generate RRRs (Remita Retrieval Reference) themselves and also earn extra income by helping other people pay the thousands of billers on Remita while earning commissions on each transaction.
Some popular bill payments on Remita are for electricity, water, schools, hospitals, waste collection, estate dues, loan repayments, and many more.
3. Buy airtime and pay for data
Students can easily buy airtime, data, and electricity and pay for cable TV directly on the Remita app at any time for themselves or others without any worries. Students can also qualify to win free data and airtime giveaways by regularly transacting on the Remita app.
4. Send money to friends, and pay bills easily:
With the Remita mobile application, students can make transfers to any bank account and wallet in Nigeria. Making transfers using the Remita app is quick, easy, and secure.
This feature can be particularly useful for sending money to friends and paying bills while on and off campus.
5. Open a student eNaira account and save money on campus:
The eNaira is a digital currency issued and backed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Remita’s mobile application provides an eNaira hub that allows students to instantly open an eNaira wallet or add their existing eNaira wallets.
Fund transfers and payments are super easy on eNaira as it is not affected by the many possible failure points that cause payment headaches. Using the eNaira wallet on Remita is a banger as it also offers many goodies to students.
6. Automate your savings and tithes
Remita’s Standing Order feature helps students automatically send pre-determined amounts of money from their bank accounts or eNaira wallet into specified accounts at regular intervals.
This could be daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or even annually and can be for personal savings, pocket money to siblings, token to parents, offerings to school fellowships, or even as birthday surprises to friends.
By doing this, you can develop a disciplined financial life as a student and make others smile consistently.
7. Manage all your accounts
Students using the Remita mobile app can have access to their eNaira wallet and other accounts in different banks in Nigeria on the app.
They can see the balance in each account and fund any transaction from any of their accounts or wallet. This feature is handy for students with accounts in multiple banks.
