Trusted by our partner brands
Everything your team needs to know — from becoming a partner and verifying pass holders in person and online, to managing your partner portal.
MyAlumPass is built around a verified community of educated Nigerian professionals. Every partner on the platform is a statement about the standard of that community. We are selective because our pass holders expect us to be.
Every partner benefit must make a verified pass holder feel that their pass is genuinely worth having. A partnership that does not meaningfully elevate the holder's experience or reflect the quality of the community does not belong on the platform. As a guide, a saving below ₦2,500 on a one-off purchase at a brand with no repeat visit value is unlikely to qualify.
Every application is assessed against the criteria below. The three mandatory criteria are non-negotiable. If any one of them is not met, the application will not proceed.
Must be a registered company in Nigeria with a valid CAC number. Sole traders and unregistered businesses are not eligible.
Must have a verifiable physical premises where pass holders can present their AlumPass. Online-only businesses are not eligible at this time.
Must have a live, functional website. A social media page alone does not qualify.
The benefit offered must represent genuine value to a verified professional. We assess both the absolute saving and the frequency with which holders will use it.
The brand's positioning must be consistent with an educated, professionally engaged alumni community. Brand presentation, customer experience, and market reputation are all considered during review.
Must operate in one of the approved MyAlumPass partner categories: premium food and dining, fashion and lifestyle, health and wellness, technology and electronics, entertainment and leisure, co-working and professional spaces, or financial and professional services.
Must agree to and sign the partner participation agreement before being listed on the directory.
Must commit to honouring the agreed benefit for a minimum of 6 months. Shorter commitments are not accepted.
Must provide a named individual responsible for the MyAlumPass partnership at their business.

Complete the Partner Interest FormMyAlumPass is Nigeria's first verified digital alumni rewards card. Every pass holder has had their identity confirmed through their NIN or BVN. They are a real, verified graduate of a partner institution.
As a partner, you have agreed to offer a benefit to valid MyAlumPass holders. This guide explains exactly how your team confirms a pass is genuine before applying that benefit — whether the customer is standing in front of you or transacting remotely.
You will be issued a unique merchant PIN during onboarding. This PIN is used for all verifications — both in-person QR scans and online reference-based verifications. There is only one PIN per business. Keep it secure and do not share it with anyone outside your authorised team.
Select the method that applies to your situation. Both methods use the same PIN and record the transaction in the same way.
Use this method when the pass holder is in front of you. All you need is any smartphone with a camera and an internet connection — no app, no login.
The pass holder opens their MyAlumPass on their phone showing the digital pass with a QR code. Ask them to present this to you.
Open the camera app on any smartphone and point it at the QR code. Your phone will detect the code and show a link. Tap it to open the verification page in your browser.
Select your business from the list, then enter your unique merchant PIN. Tap Check PIN & View Cardholder.
Once your PIN is confirmed, the cardholder's photo and initials appear on screen. Compare the photo to the person in front of you to confirm they match before proceeding.
Enter the full transaction amount before any discount is applied, then tap Confirm & Apply Discount. The redemption is logged automatically.
The screen will confirm the transaction has been recorded. Apply the agreed benefit to the pass holder's purchase.
Use this method when the pass holder is not physically present — for example, when they contact you by phone, email, or WhatsApp to claim their benefit. They quote their pass reference to you, and you verify it at myalumpass.com/merchant/verify.
The pass reference starts with ALP- followed by a date code and short code — for example, ALP-240815-XYZABC. It is printed on their PDF pass and shown on their Google or Apple Wallet card. Ask them to read or type it out to you.
On any device, open myalumpass.com/merchant/verify. You will see the verification form. No login is required.
Type the pass reference into the first field, select your business from the dropdown, and enter your merchant PIN. This is the same PIN used for in-person QR verification — there is only one PIN per business.
Enter the full transaction amount before any discount is applied, then tap Verify & Record Transaction. The system checks the pass, records the transaction, and calculates the discount automatically.
The page will confirm the transaction has been recorded. Apply the agreed discount to the customer's order. You do not need to keep a separate record — the transaction is logged in your partner portal.
| Field | QR scan | Online reference |
|---|---|---|
| Pass status | Active / expired / invalid | Active / expired / invalid |
| Cardholder photo | Shown after PIN confirmed | Not shown (remote transaction) |
| Cardholder initials | Shown alongside photo | Not shown |
| Discount rate | Shown after PIN confirmed | Applied automatically on confirm |
| Transaction recorded | Yes — on confirmation | Yes — on confirmation |
| Appears in portal | Yes | Yes |
