Now, with the customised invoicing service provided by Remita, Swift customers will now be able to easily renew their subscription by simply clicking a payment link contained in data renewal text message and email sent to them by the internet service provider. Once the customer clicks the link which is personalised for each subscriber, they arrive at a payment page where all their payment details have been automatically inputted. All they have to do would be to select their most preferred of the payment channels available on Remita.
