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

What EFCC and SEC have said about CBEX, how to put your loss on record, and how to spot the recovery agents who target CBEX victims a second time.
As at October 2026 we found no official CBEX refund portal from EFCC or SEC. EFCC said in May 2025 it had recovered part of the money, mostly in crypto, without saying how victims would be repaid, and SEC has said CBEX was never registered. The safe step is to put your loss on record with EFCC directly, keep your evidence, and refuse anyone who asks for a fee to recover your funds.
CBEX (the platform also linked to the names ST Technologies International, Smart Treasure and Super Technology) collapsed in April 2025, leaving a large number of Nigerians unable to withdraw. Since then, victims have been flooded with messages promising refunds. This guide sets out what the authorities have actually said, what you can do now, and how to avoid losing more money. For background on the scheme itself, see what happened at CBEX.
In a statement reported by Nairametrics on 11 June 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission said CBEX was "not a registered capital market operator" and that neither CBEX nor ST Technologies International Ltd was registered or authorised to offer investment services in Nigeria. It warned Nigerians not to deal with CBEX or entities using the names above, said it was working with law enforcement, and pointed investors to its register at sec.gov.ng/cmos. The same report said the platform collapsed on 14 April 2025, that no fewer than 600,000 Nigerians reportedly lost money, and that CBEX had demanded $100 to $200 from users before they could access balances when it resurfaced.
In an interview reported by Nairametrics on 26 May 2025, EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede said the Commission had recovered part of the money but did not give an amount. He said the recovered funds were in cryptocurrency and difficult to convert, that most of the people behind the scheme were foreigners who recruited Nigerians to sign up clients, that some suspects had been arrested and others declared wanted, and that he would not say more so as not to truncate the process. Reports at the time cited losses of up to ₦1.3 trillion; that figure is a press estimate, not an official tally.
Neither report describes a registration portal for victims or a timetable for repayment. We could not find one on official channels as at October 2026. Treat any "official CBEX refund portal" link you receive with suspicion unless it comes from EFCC's or SEC's own website or verified social media accounts.
Even without a portal, it is worth documenting your loss with the authorities now. If money is ever returned to victims, it will be through a court process, and those processes rely on evidence of who paid what.
Victims of a collapsed scheme are the easiest people to defraud again, because they want their money back and are already used to paying fees to withdraw. Common patterns:
Usually not as a simple reversal. Transfers you made yourself to fund an investment account were authorised by you, so they are not "unauthorised debits" in the ordinary sense, and the money will long since have moved on from the receiving accounts. It is still worth writing to your bank with the beneficiary account details you paid into, because banks can flag accounts linked to fraud and those records help investigators. The CBN published draft rules on authorised push payment fraud in November 2025, reported by TechCabal, which would ask customers to report within 72 hours; they were a draft at the time and would not reach back to payments made in early 2025.
Recovery from a collapsed scheme is usually partial and slow. Recovered assets have to be traced, frozen, forfeited by court order and then distributed, and in CBEX's case EFCC has said much of what it holds is crypto that is hard to convert. Our explainer on whether EFCC or SEC can get Ponzi losses back explains why. Recording your claim keeps the door open; it does not guarantee a refund.
As at October 2026 we found no official EFCC or SEC portal for CBEX victims. Be wary of links claiming to be one; check only EFCC's and SEC's own websites.
EFCC's chairman said in May 2025 that part of the money had been recovered, mostly in cryptocurrency, without giving an amount or a repayment plan.
No. SEC said in June 2025 that CBEX was not a registered capital market operator and that neither CBEX nor ST Technologies International Ltd was authorised to offer investment services in Nigeria.
Treat it as a scam. Genuine restitution through EFCC or a court does not require victims to pay a recovery or processing fee.
