Interswitch Revolutionizes Pension Remittance with Automated Platform
Interswitch, a prominent African technology company, has unveiled PensionRemit, a cutting-edge automated platform designed to streamline pension contribution remittances in Nigeria. This launch comes in response to the newly implemented Pension Contribution Remittance System (PCRS), mandated by the National Pension Commission (PenCom) and the Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp). Effective June 1, 2025, the PCRS framework requires employers to adhere to new remittance procedures, and Interswitch PensionRemit emerges as a fully compliant and authorized Payment Solution Service Provider.

The platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, making it a valuable tool for both large corporations and small businesses. The zero platform fees for employers further underscores Interswitch’s dedication to making financial services more inclusive and accessible.
