How to Retrieve Remita Receipt without RRR

There are several ways you can regain your lost Remita receipts without RRR number which will be discussed from here.

Method #1: Using the Payer’s Email

Here is what you may not know: when you make a payment using a Remita RRR number, the receipt or the link to access the receipt will be sent to the email address listed on the Remita invoice. This email is typically sent by Remita or sometimes by the bank used for the payment, if an email address is associated with the bank account.

Here are the steps to retrieve your Remita receipt without the RRR via the payer’s email:

1. Log in to the email account used for the payment, that is the email included in the RRR invoice.
2. Enter “Remita” in the search box and press enter.
3. Review the search results carefully to find the Remita email related to the transaction in question, then open it.
4. Follow the instructions outlined above from step 6 to download or print the receipt.

N.B.: if you are not the owner of the email address used for the Remita transaction, you can ask the owner to help you with this.

Method #2: Using Bank Statement of Account

This method will be suitable for you if you made the Remita payment using the Remita payment option in your bank app or internet banking.

To obtain your Remita Receipt without the RRR using your bank statement of account, follow these steps:

1. Retrieve the bank statement covering the period when the Remita payment was made.
2. Open the statement of account using a PDF reader application such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, WPS Office, or Microsoft Office.
3. Locate the Remita transaction within the statement. You can use the search feature of the application by typing “remita” to automatically highlight Remita transaction(s).
4. Carefully review the Remita transaction to find the Remita RRR number (12 digits) attached to it. Copy the number or write it down for reference. Note: If there are multiple set of codes separated by a stroke (e.g., 123457313564|674367436646), the second code is usually the RRR. You can copy both codes and proceed to verify which one is the RRR in the subsequent steps.
5. Once you have obtained the RRR, follow the steps outlined in the method for retrieving Remita receipt with RRR, already discussed in this section.

Method #3: Via Bank app transaction history

This method is similar to the previous one, but instead of using a statement of account, you are going to use the transaction history from your bank’s mobile app.

Here are the steps to obtain your Remita receipt without the RRR using your bank’s mobile app transaction history:

1. Log in to your bank’s mobile app.
2. Navigate to the transaction history section.
3. Select the date range during which the Remita transaction was made.
