Africa’s leading
integrated payments and digital commerce company, Interswitch, has been engaged
by the Adamawa State Government to enhance digital revenue collection, payment
collections and processing with its Interswitch Collections Solution
(Paydirect).
Interswitch Collections Solution is a platform
that enables government agencies and corporate organizations to collect and
monitor revenue across various channels such as banks, Point of Sales (PoS)
terminals, Internet banking, and the Quickteller (web, mobile, ATM, and USSD)
platform.
The use of this platform by the state
government will ensure transparency in revenue collection, and bills payment
while checking revenue leakages.
Adamawa State Government will also benefit from
the ease of use the platform offers as well as centralized view of all revenue
collected by its agencies and online real-time reporting and monitoring.
To support the state government’s drive to
engender open governance, accountability and strategic planning, the payment
platform will reduce reconciliation issues, improve efficiency, and ensure
access to detailed business intelligence reports for effective decision-making.
Speaking on the partnership, the Managing
Director, Interswitch Industry Ecosystems, Chinyere Don-Okhuofu, stated, “This
strategic collaboration aligns with our overarching goal of facilitating safe, secure,
and seamless payment options for Nigerians through our digital payment
platforms. The robust payment platform was designed to help the governments to
achieve strong economic growth and foster sustainable development for Nigeria”.
Also speaking about the alliance, the Regional
Head of Sales, North, Interswitch Group, Thomas Ezeh, said “Interswitch is
committed to empowering the Adamawa government to collect Internally Generated
Revenue efficiently and effectively. Our goal, among other things, is to help
governments at all levels and agencies to achieve their revenue targets.
“We encourage all government agencies to come
on board as we believe that digital revenue collection and payment have the
potential to attract investments and boost economic growth.”
Due to the trust in Interswitch’s robust
payment solutions, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigeria Customs
Service (NCS), Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB), Kaduna and Kano
States have partnered with the African payment giant for seamless filing and
payment of tax, duties and examination registration.
This attests to Interswitch’s commitment
to delivering robust and efficient payment solutions that align with global
standards.
