Everything your alumni/school needs to know about bringing MyAlumPass to your members. From the value it delivers to how the partnership works in practice.
MyAlumPass is a verified digital identity and rewards card for university alumni. Every pass holder has had their identity confirmed: name, date of birth, and a selfie matched against their NIN or BVN record. This means every pass in the network represents a real, verified graduate.
The pass is issued as a digital card, available as a PDF download and addable to Google Wallet on Android or Apple Wallet on iPhone. It carries a unique QR code that merchants scan to verify the holder and apply the correct discount. No app is required from the member's side.
Every member who holds a MyAlumPass gets access to a growing network of verified partner merchants offering real discounts across food, fashion, hotels, financial services and more. Beyond the discounts, the pass gives them something meaningful: proof of who they are as a graduate.
A photo-verified digital card that proves their status as a graduate of your institution.
Access to discounts at approved partner merchants across food, fashion, health, retail, travel and more.
Members can add their pass to Google Wallet on Android or Apple Wallet on iPhone for quick, convenient access at any time.
Members can track their usage, see where they have redeemed benefits, and view their total savings.
Give members a reason to stay connected year-round. A live, active benefit keeps your alumni/school relevant beyond the annual calendar.
If your alumni/school uses MyCo, you can list MyAlumPass directly on your store so members can purchase in one click alongside other products.
Launching alumni/school are featured across MyAlumPass social media and communications as pioneer partners — positioning your alumni/school as forward-thinking and member-focused.
Complimentary passes can be issued directly to specific members, which is useful for rewarding executives, board members, or scholarship recipients.
MyAlumPass gives your members access to a curated network of verified partner merchants offering real discounts. The range of benefits will grow as more merchants join the network.
Discounts at restaurants, cafes, and food brands across the network.
Savings at clothing, lifestyle, and retail partner brands.
Discounts at health, beauty, and wellness partners.
Member rates at events, entertainment venues, and co-working spaces.
Members access MyAlumPass through your alumni/school's member portal, the same portal they use to manage their profile, pay dues, and access other member services. No separate account is needed.
The member selects MyAlumPass, reviews the benefits, accepts the terms, and completes payment securely online. The pass fee is fixed and set by MyCo, with the same rate applying across all partner alumni/schools.
The member completes a one-time identity verification using their NIN or BVN. They provide their ID number, date of birth, and a selfie. The system cross-checks these against the relevant identity database automatically, typically in seconds. This step only happens once and renewals skip it entirely.
Once verification is complete, the pass is approved automatically. The member receives an email confirmation and can immediately download their pass as a PDF, add it to Google Wallet on Android, or add it to Apple Wallet on iPhone. The pass is valid for one year.
At any partner merchant, the member shows their MyAlumPass on their phone. The merchant scans the QR code, the system displays the member's photo and pass details, and the merchant confirms their identity before applying the discount. The entire process takes seconds.
Every MyAlumPass holder has their identity verified before their pass is issued. This is what makes the card trusted and meaningful. Merchants know every pass holder is a real, verified graduate.
| What is checked | How it works |
|---|---|
| ID number | Member provides their NIN or BVN. The system checks it against the relevant identity database. |
| Name | First name and last name are compared to the name registered against the NIN or BVN. |
| Date of birth | Date of birth provided by the member is checked against the identity record. |
| Selfie | The member takes a selfie which is compared to the photo on file with the identity authority. |
Where verification is only partially successful, for example because a member's last name has changed after marriage, your alumni/school's admin team can review the application. They will see exactly which fields matched and which did not, and can make a judgement call on whether to approve the pass. The system gives your team the full picture so they can make an informed decision.
Your alumni/school's admin team has a dedicated MyAlumPass management area within MyCo. From here you can:
MyAlumPass can be configured to work alongside your alumni/school's existing dues structure. If a member has outstanding dues above a set threshold, their pass application can be held until their account is in good standing, making the pass a natural incentive for dues compliance.
To launch MyAlumPass for your members, your alumni/school needs:
Get in touch with us at info@myalumpass.com. We will arrange a short call to walk you through the programme, answer your questions, and confirm that MyAlumPass is the right fit for your alumni/school.
We send you the alumni/school partnership agreement. This covers the launch timeline and the responsibilities of both parties. Once signed, we begin setup immediately.
We configure the MyAlumPass feature on your MyCo account, set up your member portal, and add the MyAlumPass product to your store. We test everything end-to-end before handing over to your team.
We walk your admin team through the management tools, covering how to review applications, how to issue complimentary passes, and how to add community merchants to the deals directory.
We coordinate a joint announcement across MyCo and MyAlumPass channels introducing your alumni/school as a partner. We ask that your alumni/school amplifies this announcement to your own community for maximum reach. Members can then begin applying for their passes immediately.
The MyAlumPass fee is fixed and set by MyCo. It is the same across all partner alumni/schools, which protects the value of the pass and ensures no member pays more than another simply because of which alumni/school they belong to.
| Pass Type | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New Pass | ₦5,000 | Includes full identity verification |
| Renewal | ₦5,000 | No repeat identity verification required |

Email Us to Get StartedMyAlumPass is launching with a strong focus on Nigeria first, building a credible and meaningful merchant network before expanding. This is a deliberate choice. A smaller network of genuinely excellent partners is far more valuable than a large directory of mediocre ones.
That said, diaspora members are not without options. A number of the benefits on the platform are ones that members abroad can use on behalf of family and friends back home. For example, a member based in the UK can use their MyAlumPass to arrange a health check for a parent in Lagos, or to purchase a gift or service for a relative. As the network grows to include more online and internationally accessible brands, the relevance of the pass for diaspora members will increase significantly.
The pass itself is also a meaningful symbol of verified graduate identity regardless of where a member lives, and this dimension of the card will become increasingly valuable as the network matures and grows beyond Nigeria's borders.
Affordability and accessibility are central to what MyAlumPass is trying to achieve. The pass is deliberately priced so that the benefits available to holders far outweigh the annual cost. That balance is something we take seriously and actively protect.
There are currently no planned changes to the pass fee. If that were ever to change, alumni associations and their members would be notified well in advance, with ample time to renew at the existing rate before any new pricing takes effect. We would never implement a price change without proper notice and without ensuring it remained justified by the value the pass delivers.
Technically, yes. An alumni association can configure a dues threshold so that members with outstanding dues above a certain level are not able to apply for a pass until their account is in good standing. This can be a useful tool for associations that want to use the pass as a reward for active financial membership.
That said, our strong recommendation is to make the pass available to all members, regardless of their dues status. Here is the thinking behind that. The pass is one of the most tangible, visible benefits your association can offer. When a member who has drifted away receives their MyAlumPass and starts using it at partner merchants, it reconnects them to your association in a very direct and personal way. That reconnection is often the first step toward re-engagement, renewed interest, and eventually dues payment. Restricting access to the pass removes that opportunity entirely.
The pass works best as an open door, not a gated reward. Associations that have adopted this approach tend to find that the pass strengthens the case for membership and dues participation far more effectively than withholding it does.
