Role Based Access

Definitive Status of Transactions

Multi-Party Schedule Delivery

Integrates with 3rd Party Applications

Advanced Security Feature

Extensive Reporting and Audit Trail

To facilitate the effective and efficient processing of transactions


on Remita, we have introduced the Remita Retrieval Reference
(RRR) concept.
An unregistered user whether corporate or individual is able to
take advantage of the Remita Retrieval Reference option to:
o Register on the platform.
o Pay beneficiaries (salary/ vendor/pensions/tax), family and
friends etc.
o Pay registered Biller/ Collector
o Pay electronic invoices sent by a registered Biller
o Setup standing order and Direct debit

This is made easy and seamless through completion of


transaction details from the home page www.remita.net. A unique
code called the RRR is then generated for the payer.
The user is able to consummate the transaction (apart from
Customer Registration) via any of the channels listed below:
Branches of ANY participating bank nationwide;
Online Banking site;
Debit/Credit cards (Verve, Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay);
Remita Direct Access;
POS;
Direct Debit;
Select Micro Finance Banks; and
Digital Wallets.

The single RRR generated can be used to make payment via any
of the listed channels.
Your customers do not need to send paper schedules or CDs to
the bank for processing! They just present the RRR generated on
www.remita.net
RRR reduces the data to be entered by the Teller at the bank,
chances of error during data capture, and the time spent
attending to each customer.
Brings overall improvement in efficiency of banks operations.

1. A prospective customer completes an online application form at


www.remita.net. Duly completed application form contains a unique
identifier known as Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) at the top
right hand corner.
2. The customer receives login credentials and can begin to familiarize with
the platform but cannot make payments until the registration process is
finalized by the Bank.
3. Printed copy of the application form is signed by the customer and taken
to any branch of the Bank.
4. The branch uses the RRR to retrieve the online form from the system to
conduct necessary due diligence, including but not limited to confirmation
of account number and signature verification.

4. Customer registration transaction successfully passed by any branch is


automatically routed to the inbox of the Initiators at the Head Office of the Bank
for:
a. Mapping of PAN
b. Uploading of Expiry Date
c. Setting of Daily Transaction Limit on the card.
5. The Final Approver approves the uploaded details to conclude the registration
process.
6. The Bank delivers the PIN to customer.
7. The Customer changes PIN, conduct account balance enquiry and can begin to
make payments via the platform.
It is also relevant to note that a report named RRR Report" is available to the Bank to monitor the list and the progress
of pending Corporate Registration applications. The details on the report can be used by the Bank to contact the customers
and facilitate prompt delivery of the form for processing.

1. One of the existing Final Approvers with the old PIN clicks on the
ADMINISTRATION menu, then selects the Submenu labeled
Change Account Identification Code-AIC/PIN.
2. Select the card that is mapped to the Bank account for which the PIN
is to be changed (see below):

3. Ensure the PIN Secured Logo appears on the screen before


entering the old PIN and the new PIN as required in the
relevant fields.
4. Wait for the PIN update to be completed before moving on
from the page. A confirmatory statement that PIN change
successful will be displayed by the system to indicate that
the process has been completed.
The new PIN will be required for the next and subsequent transactions
to be remitted and for balance enquiry.

ADMINISTRATION menu to select the submenu Manage Approval
Groups:

2.

Click the button labeled New Group and provide the description/
name for the new group being created:

3.

Click the Submit button for the new name to be registered.

the workflow of the corporate.

1. One of the existing initiators logs in to Remita and places the cursor on
ADMINISTRATION menu to select the submenu Manage
Approval Workflow

2. Click the drop down menu labeled Transaction Type to select the
transaction type for which the workflow is to be amended:

3.

Under Transaction Initiator group, click the drop down menu to


select the name of the group of initiators that was registered
previously, e.g, INITIATOR. This implies that every member of
INITIATOR group will be able to initiate transaction type that was
selected in 2 above.

4.

Under Approver 1 group, click the drop down menu to select the
name of the group of users that will act in the first level of approval, for
example APPROVER group. Select the authentication type to be
used by these approvers from available options.

5.

layers that may be required for the transaction type, subject to a
maximum of 10 levels.
7.

Click Send for Approval button at the bottom of the page to


forward the Workflow amendment for approval.

8. Once approved, every transaction of the type selected in 2 above


will be routed through the newly defined workflow.
Please note that during workflow definition, you are expected to specify an authentication type for at least

one out of the 10 approval levels.

While Remita provides users with a number of options to securely


authorize transactions, the primary authentication mode used by
majority of the Corporates is the soft token (access code)
authentication type.

Sometimes, users experience challenges approving transactions on


the platform as a result of non receipt/delayed delivery of these access
codes in their registered email addresses and/or phones due to issues
such as Corporate mail server restrictions, preventing receipt of
automated mails, telecommunication network challenges etc.

We continue to look for ways to simplify the authentication process


without compromising security.

To this end, we recently introduced the "Dynamic Authentication


Number" (DAN), a proprietary concept that allows the user to
define the parameters that make up their transaction authentication
combination, known only to the user.

DAN is a useful alternative for corporate users that may experience


difficulties in retrieving Remita Access Code through their
organisations email system.

DAN is fully internal to Remita. It does not require email transmission,


hence removing the current user dependence on an email address, email
server settings and network issues.
To proceed in adopting this option:
1. The Organizations System Administrator nominates "Dynamic
Authentication Number" as the "Authentication Type" on the
Corporate Approval Workflow and get this approved by the final
Approver for the amendment to be effective.

2. Payment Approvers then define relevant parameters on the


"Change My Password/Security/PSN" page. (A Hint on this screen offers
a short, concise steps in guiding you to achieve this)

These include, selecting the preferred:


i. Personal Security Number (PSN) (i.e a 2 to 4 digit number), and
ii. Operator {i.e Plus (+), Minus (-), Multiplication (x), Division (/) or
"Do nothing"}.

Once the set-up above has been concluded, the system will provide the Approver
with a randomly generated number at the point of transaction approval. The
Approver will be required to supply his DAN to gain access to pending
transactions awaiting his authorization.

1. One of the existing initiators logs into Remita and places the cursor on the
ADMINISTRATION menu, then select the submenu Manage
Approval Group.

Group Members tab using the forward arrow key.

Then click Forward for Approval button at the bottom of


the page to forward the transaction for approval.
Any of the existing Approvers can pick up the transaction from
his/ her inbox and approve.
Once approved, the new user becomes a member of the approval
group and he/ she will be able to act in that capacity on the
system.

Remita inflows Need to transfer funds to Beneficiaries in various
Banks, etc.

Listing of processed transactions (both Switch and Remita STP) that


returned with indefinite feedback as to whether or not the destination
accounts were impacted.

Listing of Batches of transactions that the Banks customers have


initiated in violation of the Daily Limits that were set on their Remita
Cards by the Bank. This class of transactions are coloured in red.

To navigate to the Transactions Awaiting Your Attention


window:

Designated Bank Officer clicks on the menu Head Office


Operations

He selects the Submenu labeled Transactions Awaiting Your


Attention

The window will be displayed by the system as shown below:

a)

Pending transactions that were returned with indefinite feedback are


displayed on the window, preceded by two radio buttons namely
Paid and Retry.

OVER-LIMIT TRANSACTIONS
As stated earlier, transactions initiated by the Banks customers which
have
exceeded the Daily Withdrawal Limit are made available on the
Transactions Awaiting Your Attention window.
In treating this class of transactions, the bank has two options,
namely:
A. Permanent Enhancement of the Daily Withdrawal Limit
This involves the upward review of the subsisting Daily Withdrawal
Limit specified for the Corporates Card details on Remita.

To increase the Withdrawal Limit, the bank officer logs into the platform and
takes the following steps:
Clicks on Limit Management submenu under Head Office
Operations menu
Selects the Corporate from the Company Name Auto Completer field
and waits for the system to load the card details
Keys in new Daily Withdrawal Limit and clicks Send For Approval
button

The amendment takes effect once successfully approved.


The current pending transactions can be reprocessed by the bank or from the
Initiators inbox. Furthermore, subsequent transactions initiated by the
Corporate within the new limit will sail through successfully.

B. One off Approval of the Over-limit Transactions


This means that the bank is not ready to carry out an upward review of the
Corporates Daily Withdrawal Limit on Remita at this time.

However, the bank is wiling to approve this particular batch of


transactions that have exceeded the limit for the payments to go through.
To do this:
- The relevant Bank officer logs into the platform and navigates to the
Transactions Awaiting Your Attention window
- Selects Approve Pay Now radio button in front of the payments
and clicks Submit button
The submission goes for approval and once approved, the payment cycle
for the transactions begin.

One of the exclusive features of Remita is that a partner Bank is not advised to
process a payment until related cash cover has been received by the Bank.
It is the acknowledgement of receipt of the fund that triggers transaction
processing between the Transit account and the beneficiary accounts.
We recommend the permanent mapping of CBN-AUTOMATIC-DEBIT for
fund transfers falling due from the Bank. This ensures timely processing of
payments, ease of reconciliation and zero cost of fund transfer.
To do this, please take the following steps:
o Click on Set Default Transfer mode Submenu under the Administration
Menu
o Select CBN T-24 from the Transfer Mode Drop Down field.
o Click on Submit button.

The standard transaction processing dynamics on Remita assures that the


trigger for payment processing into beneficiaries accounts is the
confirmation that the related cash cover has been received by the Bank .
The debiting of CBN inflows by STP into the CBN Mirror account of a Bank
represent the booking of related assets in the CBN account of the Bank.
Consequently:

The onward processing of related transactions through the Transit


account should not be constrained.

There is no reason to place any limit on either the CBN Mirror account
or the Transit account.

Placing limits on these accounts tend to result in delayed transaction


processing and the attendant consequences.

Transaction Switching Settlement (TSS) account are required to be


funded to cover switch payments going into the beneficiary accounts in
the partner Banks.
For optimal Treasury and Risk Management reasons, it is appreciated
that unlimited coverage can not be held in the account at all times.
However, necessary alert system should be put in place to facilitate
timely replenishment.

Remita Straight Through Process (STP) installation at the partner Banks


can only support the two hour turnaround time prescribed by Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for electronic payments if transaction processing
on the system is operational during and outside business hours.

As a result, necessary machinery must be put in place to ensure


availability of the system on weekdays, weekends and public holidays on
a 24 hour basis.

Failed Remita transactions are made available to the initiating corporates for
necessary amendment and retrial for a period of 24 business hours.
However, payments initiated by the federal Ministries, Departments and
Agencies through the GIFMIS system in the Office of The Accountant General
of The Federation (OAGF) are exempted from this general rule.
Failed OAGF transactions are closed by the system on an hourly basis. As a
result, these failed payments are not available for further treatment by the
beneficiary Banks.
Any attempt by the beneficiary Banks to reprocess failed OAGF transactions, other
than those in Urgent Transaction window, are most likely to result in duplicated
payments as replacement transactions could have been initiated for them.

Remita Standing Order/Direct Debit Mandates properly issued by


Bank customers represent valid orders from account holders for
Remita service to be extended to them.
The same way other written instructions from customers are
currently honoured at branch level, activation of Remita collection
mandates are expected to be effected at branch level.

To Activate a Madate on Remita, the bank officer logs into the


platform and takes the following steps:
1.

Clicks on Activate Standing Order/DD submenu under


Branch Operations menu

2.

Types either the Mandate Form ID or the Mandate Name on


either of the Auto Completer Fields as appropriate to call up the
desired Mandate and wait for the system to load the details.

3. Clicks on Activate Mandate button to activate the Mandate


Mandates can also be stopped using the Stop Standing Order/DD
submenu under Branch Operations menu and following the similar
steps detailed above.

Option A Payer does not have a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR)


Number

4. Complete aspects of the form as appropriate, then click Submit.

Once Submit button is clicked, RRR is generated and Teller can go ahead to
complete the payment initiation process, then send it for Approval.

Option B Payer has initiated payment process and is in possession of a Remita


Retrieval Reference (RRR) Number

1.

If Payer supplied RRR, enter the RRR Number and click on


Continue button.

2. Payment details (originally entered by Payer are displayed on the screen


for Teller to confirm amount and other relevant information).

3. Click Send For Approval button to send the transaction for approval.

A receipt of the transaction is available for printing and issuance to


Payer once the transaction has been approved by the Branch
Approving Officer.
Once Collection transaction is approved, payments are processed
accordingly from the Tellers Funds Holding Account.
Relevant reports are available to the Branch officers to ascertain
status of processed payments.

In the course of Transaction processing on the system, Remita may at


some point receive a wrong feedback from the core banking application
on the fate of a set of transactions.

The wrong feedback may be applied to one or more transactions in a


Session or the entire transactions in the Session.

When this is observed, the processing officer at the bank is usually


notified of the development and informed to escalate same to the banks
technical personnel in charge of Remita STP operations.

It is the technical teams responsibility to exhaustively look into the


wrong feedback cases and conclusively resolve all occurrences.

Where this is not happening however, we advise that the processing officer at
the bank continues to mount necessary pressure with a view to ensuring the
wrong feedback cases are fully addressed.

This is in the interest of the processing officer and the bank as a whole as
wrong feedback cases makes reconciliation difficult and could result in loss of
funds to the bank.

As part of continuous efforts that we make to improve the quality of service


delivery on Remita platform, a dependable and seamless reconciliation tool
has been developed to assist partner banks in conducting daily reconciliation
of the Transit account and the CBN Mirror account.

At the click of a button, exceptional items can be generated from the tool with
a view to facilitating their investigation and regularization.

Daily Dumping of Statements

The daily automated dumping of statements of the CBN Mirror Account


and Transit Account by partner banks is primarily required for auto
population into the reconciliation tool towards empowering the Banks in
achieving effective reconciliation of the CBN Mirror and Transit
accounts.
In addition, the system uses the daily dump of the statements to confirm
whether or not payments that were returned by the Bank with unclear
feedback actually impacted on the beneficiary accounts.
It is worthy to note that non provisioning of these statements as at when
due and/or in-accurate account statement files impact on service
delivery.
Once again, it is the responsibility of the technical team at the banks to
ensure accurate and up-to-date account statement generation and
dumping of same in the agreed location.
