Ten years, one trunk

The business has changed shape four times and never changed what it was rooted in. Each version was built out of what the last one could not do.

2016E-commerce

An online grocery store, built out of a faulty tab. Selling the food was the easy part — taking the money for it, and moving it, turned out to be the business.

2018OjirehPrime Card

A prepaid card. The first time the company issued rather than resold, and the first time it carried the obligations that come with holding somebody else’s money.

2020Microfinance bank

PrymeSolid Allianze acquired — an existing bank with an existing licence. The perimeter stopped being someone else’s to draw.

2023Multicurrency

More than one currency on one balance, and the rebrand to Pryme. A Nigerian business could hold dollars without holding a second institution.

2026Agentic operations

Accounts that do the work rather than only hold value. Five agents on the account, inside a policy you write — which is where the new mark starts.

Questions

The things people ask us first.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives people and businesses in Nigeria one account that holds Naira alongside dollars, pounds and euros, and a set of agents that do the running of it — keeping the books, chasing what is owed, answering customers and paying bills. Nothing leaves an account without the owner’s approval.

Can I hold dollars, pounds and euros in a Pryme account?

Yes. A Pryme account holds Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros side by side on one ledger, each with its own account details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area. You can swap between them at a rate you set, and every currency has its own statement.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is available in Nigeria. It gives a shopper money to spend that can only be spent with a participating business. The business is paid into its Naira account whether or not the shopper repays, because Pryme carries the credit. For the business it is free to join, there is nothing monthly, and the customer’s identity is never shown — only a reference and what it is worth.

What do the agents on a Pryme Business Account do?

Five agents come with the account. The Chief of Staff runs the week and keeps what is stuck moving. Finance watches the money and keeps the books as you trade. Compliance keeps the filings on time and screens what moves. Sales chases what you are owed. Customer Support answers your customers and follows up. Each has a job description, a budget and a ceiling you set, and each one proposes rather than acts — nothing leaves the account without your signature.

How does Pryme Pay work?

Pryme Pay takes payments on your own site or on a checkout page you control. The buyer is given a one-time account number and transfers to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in. The money lands in the same account your agents are running, already matched to the order and already in your books.

What are Savings Boxes?

Savings Boxes are separate pots inside a Pryme account, held in Naira. Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design. A business can use them to ring-fence payroll and the tax it withholds, so that money cannot be spent by accident.

Who holds my money, and is it protected?

Pryme is a financial technology company, not a bank. Accounts and deposits are provided by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Limited, which is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and is a member of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Can I build on Pryme?

Yes. Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives you one account that holds US dollars, pounds sterling and euros beside Naira, with an assistant that runs the account for you and asks before anything moves. Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, and further markets open as each licence lands.

Can I open a Pryme account from outside Nigeria?

Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, subject to verification and approval. Foreign-currency balances are held and converted inside that account, so you can hold, receive and swap dollars, pounds and euros wherever you are.

Which currencies can I hold with Pryme?

Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, side by side on one ledger. Each has its own details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area — and each has its own statement.

How do I send money to Nigeria with Pryme?

Swap at a rate you set rather than the rate of the day, then send to any Pryme username or to a Nigerian bank account. There is no fee to send to another Pryme account.

What does the assistant do?

Eva is the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals, pays what is due and follows up what is owed to you — and asks you before anything moves.

What is Pryme Rails?

Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

AI agent for VAT return prep across UK and Nigeria

An agent can prepare UK and Nigerian VAT working papers, but each return is the business's own, filed through its own system. Who does what, and when.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora business desk, London · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

An AI agent can prepare VAT working papers for both countries: coding transactions, separating UK VAT from Nigerian VAT, and drafting the figures. It cannot take on the filing responsibility. In the UK the VAT-registered business submits through Making Tax Digital software with digital links between records, and in Nigeria the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 treats a return as duly filed only when submitted by the taxpayer or an accredited tax agent, now through NRS Rev360.

A UK company with a Nigerian subsidiary, or a UK business registered for VAT in Nigeria, runs two VAT systems with different rates, deadlines and portals. The preparation is repetitive and rule-based, which suits an agent. The decisions and the submission stay with people. This article separates the two.

Two returns, never one

UKNigeria
TaxUK VATVAT under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, rate 7.5% (Forvis Mazars, Mar 2026)
Who must registerTaxable turnover over £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, or expected to exceed it in the next 30 days (GOV.UK)Businesses above the small-business limits; small business = turnover up to ₦100m and fixed assets up to ₦250m, professional services excluded (Forvis Mazars)
FilingThrough MTD-compatible softwareThrough NRS Rev360, which replaced TaxPro Max from 30 April 2026 (Templars)
DeadlineSet by your VAT periodReturns and payment by the 21st of the following month (BusinessDay, Feb 2026)
Who filesThe business or its agentThe taxpayer or an accredited tax agent (NTAA 2025 s.33(3))

Nigerian VAT paid in Nigeria is not UK input tax, and UK VAT is not creditable in Nigeria. The first rule for the agent is to keep the two ledgers apart, tagged by country and entity.

What the agent can prepare

  • Code each sale and purchase to the right VAT treatment, flagging anything it cannot place.
  • For UK returns, check that VAT on invoices you issue is shown in sterling; HMRC's VAT Notice 700/21 says invoice amounts may be in any currency but the total VAT must be in sterling.
  • For Nigerian returns, compute output VAT less input VAT; under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, Forvis Mazars says input VAT on services and fixed assets used for taxable supplies is claimable from 1 January 2026, within 5 years.
  • Reconcile VAT accounts to the ledger and list differences.
  • Draft the return figures and a short variance note against the previous period.
  • Build the filing calendar for both countries.

The UK digital-link rule

VAT Notice 700/21 says records in your electronic account must be kept digitally in functional compatible software and data moved between programs must use a digital link. CSV import and export, API transfers and linked spreadsheet cells qualify; manual re-keying and copy-and-paste do not. If the agent works on an export and sends figures back, that transfer must itself be a digital link.

What stays with people

  • Deciding the VAT treatment of anything new or unusual, such as cross-border services or a first import.
  • Approving the figures before submission.
  • Submitting: the UK return from your MTD software, the Nigerian return on Rev360 by the taxpayer or an accredited tax agent. Templars notes Rev360 offers role-based access for tax consultants without sharing credentials, so do not give an agent or a contractor the company's main login.
  • Paying the VAT due, through your approval process.

Errors the agent should flag every period

  • Purchase invoices with VAT charged but no supplier tax ID, which weakens an input claim.
  • Supplies bought from small businesses exempt from VAT: Forvis Mazars says larger companies must self-charge VAT on supplies from exempt small businesses under the new Act, so the Nigerian subsidiary may need to account for VAT itself.
  • UK purchase invoices in a foreign currency where the VAT has not been stated in sterling.
  • Transactions coded to the wrong entity or country.
  • A return figure that moves more than a set percentage from the previous period without a reason.

Late filing costs money in Nigeria: BusinessDay's explainer (February 2026) gives ₦50,000 for the first month and ₦25,000 for each further month, plus interest. The agent's calendar should show both countries' dates side by side, with the Nigerian 21st highlighted every month.

Nigerian e-invoicing

NRS is moving to e-invoicing under its Merchant Buyer Solution. Nairametrics (19 July 2026) reports a 31 July 2026 deadline for large taxpayers (turnover of ₦5bn or more), with buyers accepting only e-invoices carrying a valid Invoice Reference Number; timelines for medium and small taxpayers were not stated in that report. When suppliers issue e-invoices, the IRN should be captured by the agent as the invoice's key.

Worked example

Example only, for a Nigerian subsidiary for one month.

LineAmount
Sales, standard-rated₦40,000,000
Output VAT at 7.5%₦3,000,000
Input VAT on qualifying purchases₦1,100,000
Net VAT payable₦1,900,000
DueBy the 21st of the following month

The agent drafts this, lists the purchase invoices behind the ₦1,100,000 and flags any without a supplier tax ID. A person approves, and the accredited agent files on Rev360.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme Business Accounts include Finance and Compliance agents that prepare work such as VAT schedules and deadline reminders; a person approves above a set ceiling, and actions are recorded. The agents prepare; the filing remains yours or your tax agent's.

Questions people ask

Can AI file my VAT return?

It can prepare the figures. In the UK the business submits through MTD software; in Nigeria the NTAA 2025 treats a return as duly filed only by the taxpayer or an accredited tax agent.

Can I claim Nigerian VAT on my UK VAT return?

No. Nigerian VAT is a Nigerian tax; it is handled on the Nigerian return, if at all.

What is the Nigerian VAT rate and deadline?

7.5%, with returns and payment by the 21st of the following month, per the sources cited.

Is copy and paste allowed under Making Tax Digital?

No. HMRC's VAT Notice 700/21 says copy and paste is not a digital link; CSV import and export is.
