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.

How to get or link your BVN in Abeokuta: banks and what to bring

Enrol for a BVN at any bank branch in Abeokuta, link it to your other accounts, fix wrong details, and know what the CBN says about fees.

PE
Pryme editorialIdentity desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

You enrol for a BVN at the branch of any bank in Abeokuta: fill the enrolment form, show a valid ID, and have your ten fingerprints and face captured; NIBSS says the BVN is generated within 24 hours and sent by SMS. The CBN said in July 2025 that BVN enrolment is free for Nigerians living in Nigeria, and since May 2026 enrolment is restricted to people aged 18 and over.

The Bank Verification Number is the single biometric identity the banking system uses for you. It is run by the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) under rules set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You do not need to travel to Lagos or to a special office: any bank branch in Abeokuta that opens accounts can enrol you. This guide covers enrolment, linking, retrieving a forgotten BVN, correcting errors, and the fee position.

Enrolling for a new BVN

The CBN's BVN page and the NIBSS page describe the same process:

  1. Go to a branch of any bank. Call ahead, because some branches only enrol at set hours or on certain days, and queues are longest at month-end.
  2. Collect and fill the BVN enrolment form.
  3. Show a valid means of identification.
  4. Have all ten fingerprints and a facial image captured.
  5. Collect the acknowledgment slip with your transaction ID. Keep it safe.
  6. Wait for the SMS. NIBSS says the system confirms the application and generates the BVN within 24 hours.

What to bring

  • A valid ID: a national ID or NIN slip, international passport, driver's licence or voter's card are the documents banks usually accept. Ask the branch which it takes.
  • Your NIN: the CBN said in December 2023 that Tier 2 and Tier 3 individual accounts need both BVN and NIN.
  • The phone number you will keep for years. Rules reported from May 2026 allow the phone number on a BVN to be changed only once.
  • Your exact name and date of birth as on your ID.

Is BVN enrolment free?

Yes, for residents. In a statement reported on 8 July 2025, the CBN said BVN enrolment is entirely free of charge for Nigerians resident in Nigeria. The US$50 charged on the Non-Resident BVN (NRBVN) platform is, the CBN said, a processing cost for remote checks for Nigerians abroad, not a price for the BVN itself. If anyone at a branch or a roadside stand asks you to pay for BVN enrolment in Abeokuta, ask for the charge in writing and report it to the bank's customer care. For diaspora options, see NRBVN explained.

Linking your BVN to other accounts

You only ever have one BVN. Each new account is linked to it, not given a new one. The CBN says to give your BVN to each bank so all your accounts are linked. In practice:

  • When opening a new account, give the BVN on the form or in the app; the bank pulls your details from NIBSS.
  • For an older account that is not linked, visit the branch or use the bank's own app or website if it offers BVN linking.
  • Never enrol a second time. Duplicate enrolment is treated as a breach under the CBN's watch-list framework and can lead to restrictions.

Forgot your BVN?

NIBSS's USSD service lets you dial *565*0# from the phone number registered to your BVN to retrieve it. NIBSS lists the charge as ₦20. If your number is linked to more than one BVN, no BVN is returned. Most bank apps also show your BVN under your profile. *565*1# lets you validate a BVN and see the registered name, also listed at ₦20.

Fixing wrong details

NIBSS says updates to customer information are done physically at bank branches. Take your ID and the document that proves the correct detail. Under the 2021 framework as summarised by Technext in May 2023, date of birth can be changed only once, and name changes after marriage or divorce need a certificate, affidavit or newspaper notice. Expect the bank to ask why the change is needed.

What to check first

  • Is the error in your BVN record or only in one bank's profile? Ask the bank to check.
  • Does your NIN record match? Mismatches between BVN and NIN cause many failed account upgrades.
  • Is the phone number still yours? If not, bear in mind the one-change rule.

For how the BVN and NIN differ, read BVN vs NIN, and before sharing your number with anyone, read is it safe to share your BVN.

When a bank says your BVN is restricted

Under the CBN's watch-list framework, a BVN linked to a confirmed breach, such as forged documents or fraud, can be placed on a watch-list, which limits new banking relationships. Reports of the 2026 addendum say banks may also place a BVN linked to suspicious activity on a temporary watch-list for up to 24 hours while they contact the owner. If an Abeokuta branch tells you your BVN is flagged, ask in writing which bank initiated it and why, and what evidence you can provide. Keep copies of everything you hand over.

Where Pryme fits

Opening a Pryme account in Nigeria uses your BVN like any regulated account; Naira deposits are held by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank, licensed by the CBN. You can open an account from any country, and Pryme security uses an authenticator app and transaction PIN rather than SMS codes.

Questions people ask

Where can I do BVN registration in Abeokuta?

At a branch of any bank that opens accounts. Call ahead to confirm enrolment hours and bring a valid ID and your NIN.

How much is BVN registration?

The CBN said in July 2025 that BVN enrolment is free for Nigerians resident in Nigeria. Report any branch staff who demand payment.

How do I check my BVN number?

Dial *565*0# from the phone number registered to your BVN. NIBSS lists the charge as ₦20. Your bank app may also show it under your profile.

Can I change the phone number on my BVN?

Yes, at your bank branch, but rules reported from May 2026 allow the BVN phone number to be changed only once, so choose a number you will keep.
