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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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.

Buying a house in Port Harcourt from the US: what to verify

Title, consent, survey and occupants: the checks a US-based buyer should finish before paying for a house in Port Harcourt, and who does them.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, US · 24 Oct 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer

Before paying for a house in Port Harcourt from the US, have a lawyer you appointed search the title at the Rivers State lands registry, confirm the seller holds a Certificate of Occupancy or a clean chain of Governor's consents, and have an independent surveyor match the survey plan to the building on the ground. Under section 22 of the Land Use Act, your purchase is only perfected once the Governor consents to the transfer, so budget time and money for that step.

A finished house is a different purchase from a bare plot. As well as the title, you are buying a building that may have tenants, unpaid bills, an extension nobody approved, or a relative living in it who does not want to leave. From Houston or Atlanta you cannot knock on the door yourself, so the job is to give the right people the right checklist and to pay nothing of substance until the answers come back in writing.

Start with the title, not the house

All land in Rivers State is vested in the Governor under section 1 of the Land Use Act, and what a seller owns is a right of occupancy. Section 22 says the holder of a statutory right of occupancy may not transfer it "by assignment, mortgage, transfer of possession, sublease or otherwise howsoever" without the Governor's consent first being obtained, and section 26 makes a transaction contrary to the Act null and void. In practice, that means the documents you collect must show a lawful chain from the original grant to the person selling to you.

We could not find an official online land search service for Rivers State in October 2026, so expect the search to be done in person at the state lands registry by your lawyer. A 2024 practitioner guide by Trusted Advisors, published on Mondaq, describes the usual documents to check and notes that a registry search in Lagos typically takes 5 to 14 days; Rivers timings may differ, so ask your lawyer for an estimate. Ask your lawyer for a written search report that states:

  • the registered holder of the title, and whether that is the person selling;
  • every registered transfer, mortgage, caveat or charge on the property;
  • whether earlier transfers received Governor's consent;
  • certified true copies of what is on file, not photocopies supplied by the seller.

Documents to request from the seller

DocumentWhy it mattersWhat your lawyer compares it with
Certificate of Occupancy (or earlier consented deed)Root of the seller's rightThe registry search result
Deeds of assignment for earlier sales, with consent endorsedShows the chain is unbrokenNames and dates on the search
Survey planFixes the plot boundariesThe surveyor's own reading of the beacons
Building plan approvalShows the structure was approvedThe house actually built
Receipts for property rates and utility billsDebts can follow the propertyAmounts outstanding
Tenancy agreements, if letWho is lawfully in occupationWho is actually living there

Where the house sits on family land without a state title, the safeguards change: your lawyer has to establish who in the family may sell and get each required person to sign. The Nigeria-side detail for the three big cities is summarised in title checks in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.

The building and the people in it

Have an independent surveyor, not one introduced by the seller, confirm that the survey plan coordinates match the plot and that the house sits inside them. Trusted Advisors recommends this step; a survey plan that in fact describes a neighbouring plot is one of the problems it is designed to catch. Then ask someone you trust to visit and report on:

  • who lives in the house and on what terms, with names;
  • whether the building matches the approved plan, including any extra floor;
  • signs of flooding or drainage problems around the plot;
  • access: whether the road to the house crosses someone else's land.

Safety and site visits from the US

The US Department of State's Nigeria Travel Advisory, issued 12 June 2026, places Nigeria at Level 3, Reconsider travel, and lists Rivers State among the "Do not travel" states for crime, kidnapping and unrest, with the exception of Port Harcourt. It also says the US government has limited ability to help US citizens outside Abuja and Lagos and their immediate surroundings. If the house is outside the city, or you decide not to travel, rely on a lawyer and surveyor acting on written instructions, and ask for dated photographs and a live video walk around the boundary.

The purchase is not complete when you pay. Your lawyer prepares a deed of assignment, you or your attorney sign it, and it then needs stamping, Governor's consent and registration. A 2026 legal review of the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 notes that instruments must be stamped within 30 days of execution and that unstamped instruments are not admissible in civil proceedings. Rivers sets its own consent and registration fees, so ask your lawyer for a written estimate before you commit. If you will sign through a relative, read using a power of attorney to buy land from the US.

Worked example (illustrative)

Example only. A seller asks ₦60,000,000 for a bungalow. You pay ₦400,000 for a lawyer's search and report and ₦350,000 for a surveyor before any deposit, a total of ₦750,000, which is 1.25% of the price. The search shows a registered mortgage on the title. You ask for the bank's discharge before going further; without it, the buyer, not the seller, would be dealing with the lender later.

Paying from the US without losing control

  1. Pay professional fees only until the search, survey and occupancy checks are back clean.
  2. Pay the price into the seller's own account or your lawyer's client account, after confirming the details by phone on a number you found yourself.
  3. Tie each payment to a signed document that names the property.
  4. Keep the transfer records with the deed; you will need them for US tax purposes if you later sell (see US tax when selling Nigerian property).

For staging larger sums, see paying for Nigerian land from the US.

Where Pryme fits

A Pryme Personal Account holds US dollars and naira side by side, so you can move money into naira with Swap when the next stage is due; the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Payments made with Send can be issued as verifiable receipts through VerifyDoc.ai, which your lawyer or a court can check are genuine and unaltered.

Questions people ask

Can I check a Port Harcourt C of O online from the US?

We found no official online search service for Rivers State in October 2026. A lawyer normally searches at the state lands registry in person and gives you a written report with certified copies.

Is a house in Port Harcourt mine once I pay?

Not fully. Under section 22 of the Land Use Act a transfer of a statutory right of occupancy needs the Governor's consent, and the deed must be stamped and registered. Until then your title is incomplete.

Is it safe to travel to Port Harcourt to view a house?

The US State Department advisory of 12 June 2026 lists Rivers State as Do not travel except Port Harcourt, and Nigeria overall at Level 3. Read the current advisory before booking and consider a video inspection by your own lawyer or surveyor.

What if the house has tenants?

Ask for the tenancy agreements and confirm on site who lives there. Existing lawful tenants may stay until their tenancy ends, so agree vacant possession terms in writing before you pay.
