The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has launched a newly upgraded online payment portal for all fresh 100-level students and newly admitted 200-level Direct Entry students for the 2025/2026 academic session. The portal is designed to make school charge payments safe, easy, and fully controlled by the University.
UNIBEN also confirmed that school charges have not increased. The same fee structure used in previous sessions is still valid for 2025/2026.
Approved UNIBEN Payment Portal for 2025/2026
All payments must be made only on the official UNIBEN portal:
- The University does not use agents, cybercafés, or third-party websites
- Any payment made outside the official portal may not be recorded correctly
- Students should always confirm they are on the correct website before paying
Who Should Use the Payment Portal?
The new portal is open for:
