- NIS Partners GTBank on e-Payment
Nigeria Immigration Service has partnered Guaranty Trust Bank to deliver an end-to-end payment system for Nigerians applying for their international passports online.
The multi-channel payment system will enable Nigerians to pay for all international passport types (new and renewals) at official rates online. Applicants can make payment using the reference ID generated at the application stage on all GTBank’s e-channels.
To officially launch the partnership, Immigration Service Comptroller-General, Muhammed Babandede, inaugurated GTBank payment office located inside the Passport office in Ikoyi Lagos. Present at the event were GTBank CEO, Segun Agbaje and representative of New Works Limited, Usman Kuso.
According to the Comptroller-General, five other payment offices will be set up at Alausa, Festac, Kano, Port-Harcourt, and the NIS Headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking on the partnership, GTB CEO Segun Agbaje said: “We are delighted to be at the forefront of digital banking solutions that are making banking faster, cheaper and simpler for every Nigerian.”
