The Nigeria Computer Society
(NCS) is riding on the back of Remita for its over 10,000 membership cashless
payment of annual dues, reports ITRealms.
This, ITRealms gathered was in compliance with
the recent policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), NCS has deployed
Remita, a premium electronic payment platform
from SystemSpecs to facilitate this desire
ITRealms also reports that with this, NCS individual members would
issue standing orders via Remita to their respective banks, and the banks would
remit the various payments to NCS’ bank accounts as at when due.
And
in demonstration of NCS commitment, the society members fully embrace the
electronic remittance initiative in compliance with the CBN’s policy, for the
2014 annual dues.
Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), SystemSpecs, Mr. John Obaro
confirmed this t ITRealms, elucidating that with this gesture, his company
objective is obvious.
“We
want to reduce people’s need for handwriting cheque. We want to reduce the need
to make payments using physical cash. For routine payments like membership
fees, subscription payments etc, you do not have to keep writing cheques all
the time. Individuals can use Remita to hand-write a cheque normally or issue
standing order payments. These are what the CBN’s cashless policy is about,” he
said.
NCS
president, Prof. David Adewunmi remarked that the NCS-SystemSpecs strategic
partnership would assist organisations to identify, support innovation efforts
and build capacities to help “realize the huge potential in Africa’s fledging
market”.
