You are not borrowing. You are selling to somebody who already has the money — and that money can only be spent with a business like yours.

Resolved 4 conversations — two deliveries, one refund.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.
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.
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.

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

How to hold Nigerian Eurobonds from Ireland: broker access by ISIN, the large minimum lots, yields as at September 2026 and lower-minimum options.
Nigerian Eurobonds are US dollar bonds issued by the Federal Government and settled through Euroclear, so they are bought through a broker or bank with access to international bond markets, not on the NGX. The DMO notes they typically trade in minimum lots of about US$200,000. If that is too large, a Nigerian dollar fund that holds Eurobonds, from US$100 at Stanbic IBTC's Dollar Fund, gives smaller exposure.
Eurobonds appeal to Nigerians abroad for a simple reason: they pay in US dollars, so you take Nigerian government credit risk without taking naira risk. For someone earning in euro in Ireland, the currency question shifts from naira to dollars, but the bonds remain one of the few hard-currency Nigerian investments. Here is how access works, and where it gets difficult.
A Eurobond is a bond issued in a currency other than the issuer's own and sold to international investors. Nigeria's are issued in US dollars with fixed coupons and maturities stretching decades ahead. The DMO publishes their closing prices and yields; as at 4 September 2026 its list (sourced from Bloomberg) showed 15 bonds, including:
| Bond | Price | Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 6.500% due November 2027 | 101.055 | 5.583% |
| 7.875% due February 2032 | 105.418 | 6.669% |
| 8.631% due January 2036 | 108.907 | 7.297% |
| 7.625% due November 2047 | 97.621 | 7.855% |
| 8.25% due September 2051 | 101.011 | 8.154% |
Prices move every day; check the DMO's latest list or your broker's quote before deciding. A price above 100 means you pay more than face value, which is why the yield is lower than the coupon.
The bonds settle through Euroclear, the clearing system in Brussels, so in principle an Irish or other European broker that deals in international bonds can buy them for you. In practice, ask:
Many retail platforms do not offer emerging-market sovereign bonds, or offer them only to professional clients. Nigerian banks and brokers with dollar desks may also deal in them; ask the same questions and check registration on the SEC's register.
Example (illustration only): you buy US$200,000 nominal of the 7.875% 2032 bond at 105.418. The price is US$210,836 (200,000 × 1.05418), plus accrued interest and charges. The coupon pays US$15,750 a year (200,000 × 0.07875), usually in two halves. At maturity you receive US$200,000, so the US$10,836 premium is lost over the life of the bond, which is why the yield, 6.669% on the DMO's September list, is below the coupon.
| Fund | What its own document says |
|---|---|
| Stanbic IBTC Dollar Fund | At least 70% in high-quality Eurobonds; minimum US$100; management fee 1.5%; 182-day minimum holding period |
| ARM Eurobond Fund | Factsheet Sept 2025: minimum US$1,000; management fee 1.5%; incentive fee up to 20% above benchmark; 70% to 100% in bonds |
A fund spreads your money across several bonds and lets you start small, but you pay fees and the fund's price can fall. Our guide to Nigerian mutual funds from Ireland covers onboarding.
The DMO's FAQ on its domestic FGN US dollar bond (August 2024) described a five-year bond with a 9.75% coupon, a minimum of US$10,000, open to Nigerians in the diaspora with a BVN and NIN, paid by electronic transfer only, and listed on the NGX and FMDQ. That issue was for a set period; check with the DMO whether a new one is open. See buying a Nigerian diaspora bond from Ireland and our Nigeria library on Nigeria's dollar bond and Eurobonds.
The routes suit different amounts. With US$200,000 or more and a broker willing to deal, owning the bond directly gives you a fixed coupon and a known maturity date, and no fund fees. With a few thousand dollars, a fund is usually the only practical way in, and you accept its fees and holding periods. The domestic dollar bond, when open, sits in between. Whichever you choose, the dollars have to come from somewhere: if you earn euro, converting to dollars is itself a cost and a currency decision, so compare the rate as carefully as the yield.
If you are resident and domiciled in Ireland, Revenue taxes your worldwide income, so coupons are Irish income and gains on sale raise capital gains questions. This is information, not advice; see how Ireland taxes Nigerian bond interest.
A Pryme account holds USD and EUR side by side, with local account details for each, so dollars for an investment can be kept as dollars, and Swap converts when you choose, showing the rate and the fee before you approve. Pryme does not sell bonds. See the multicurrency account.
Possibly, through a broker that deals in international bonds and will buy the bond by ISIN. Many retail platforms do not offer them.
The DMO notes they typically trade in minimum lots of about US$200,000. Dollar funds that hold them start lower.
It varies by bond and day. On the DMO's 4 September 2026 list, yields ranged from about 5.6% to 8.2% on the bonds shown here.
No. The domestic FGN dollar bond is issued in Nigeria with a US$10,000 minimum; Eurobonds are issued internationally and settle through Euroclear.
