Navigating the myriad of services available to students in Nigerian tertiary institutions just got easier with the Beneficiary Identity Management Service (BIMS). Developed by Krystal Digital Solutions in partnership with the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), BIMS is an identity and access management service designed to streamline the process of accessing various TETFund-sponsored grants, benefits, and services.

Unlocking the Potential of BIMS

BIMS stands out by implementing OAuth 2.0, an open standard for authentication. This powerful technology allows beneficiaries to enjoy single sign-on access to multiple TETFund services with just one set of login credentials. Imagine the convenience of not having to juggle multiple logins – that's what BIMS brings to the table. This service is exclusive to applications in the tertiary education sector, ensuring that each application is relevant and secure.

Core Features of BIMS

1. Centralized Settings: All your data and configurations are managed in one place, making it simple to control and update your personal information.

2. Identity Transferability: Share your identity securely with other approved applications, streamlining the process of accessing multiple services.

3. Single Sign-On: One-time registration and data capture provide seamless access to multiple TETFund services, eliminating the need for repeated logins.

4. OAuth Identity Authentication: Enjoy secure authentication and authorization powered by OAuth2, ensuring a safe and user-friendly experience.

5. Multi-layered Verification: Get verified once on BIMS and benefit from consistent security across all connected services.

6. Activity Monitoring: Track your activities and progress through a comprehensive dashboard, keeping you informed about your engagements and benefits.

Why BIMS is a Game Changer for Students

For students in Nigerian tertiary institutions, BIMS offers a unified, secure, and efficient way to manage access to crucial TETFund-sponsored services and benefits. The centralized identity management system reduces complexity and saves time, allowing students to focus more on their academic pursuits.

We encourage all students to connect with their institution’s Directorate of ICT (DICT) to learn more about BIMS and ensure their information is up-to-date on the BIMS portal. Staying informed and updated is key to unlocking the full potential of TETFund resources.
