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.

Your rights under CBN's Consumer Protection Regulations

The rights the CBN's 2019 Consumer Protection Regulations give bank customers, with section numbers: disclosure, fair terms, data and complaints.

PE
Pryme editorialRights and law desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

The CBN Consumer Protection Regulations (December 2019) give customers of banks and other CBN-regulated institutions enforceable rights: clear disclosure of fees and loan costs, including a Key Facts Statement and APR; non-discriminatory access; consent before your data is shared; and complaint handling with a tracking number and acknowledgement within 24 hours. If your complaint is not resolved, you can escalate to the CBN within 90 days of the institution's decision.

Most people meet these rules only when something goes wrong. Knowing the section numbers makes a complaint sharper: "you have not acknowledged my complaint within 24 hours as section 6.3.2 requires" gets a different response from "you people are not helping me". The references below are to the 2019 Regulations as published in the CBN circular.

Who the Regulations cover

The Regulations apply to institutions the CBN regulates, which includes commercial banks (described in the text as deposit money banks, or DMBs) and other institutions such as microfinance banks and payment service providers. Some rules differ between the two groups: rate-change notice, for example, is longer for DMBs than for others. They do not cover sellers, airlines, telcos or loan apps that are not CBN-regulated; for those, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is usually the regulator. If you are unsure whether your provider is CBN-licensed, see how to check a CBN licence.

1. Fair treatment

Section 3.1.2
Equal access for eligible consumers "without regard to their social status, physical ability, marital status, gender, age, religion, tribe or ideology".
Section 3.2.4
Requests to close or switch an account must be handled promptly, without unreasonable barriers.
Section 3.2.6
Enquiries must be answered within 5 working days.
Section 3.2.7
Requests for a waiver or concession must be decided within 10 working days, or they are deemed granted.
Section 3.3.1(c)
A term letting the institution end a contract without reasonable notice is treated as unfair.

2. Disclosure, especially on loans

  • All costs disclosed: product costs, fees and charges must be disclosed (sections 4.2.4 and 4.3.1).
  • Key Facts Statement: consumer loans come with a KFS in the standard format (section 4.3.4).
  • APR stated: credit contracts must state the annual percentage rate (section 4.4.3(d)).
  • Time to review: at least 2 days to review a draft contract (section 4.3.5), and 3 working days after signing to cancel without penalty (section 4.3.6).
  • Notice of rate changes: 10 working days for deposit money banks, 5 for other institutions (section 4.4.7).

Worked example: why APR matters

Example only: a lender quotes 3% a month on ₦100,000 for 12 months. Simple interest at that rate is ₦3,000 a month, ₦36,000 over the year, so you repay ₦136,000. As a yearly figure that is 36% before fees. A 1% processing fee adds ₦1,000, taking total cost to ₦37,000. The APR the lender must state rolls fees and timing into one yearly figure, which is why it is usually higher than the monthly rate times twelve when fees are charged upfront.

3. Responsible lending

  • Lenders must assess your repayment capacity sustainably (section 5.2.2) and check your credit history (section 5.2.3).
  • If your application is declined you must be told, and given the reasons on request (section 5.2.10).
  • You cannot be forced to use one insurer or valuer; you must be offered at least three choices (section 5.2.6).

4. Your data

Institutions need your written consent to collect and process personal data for a specific purpose, and you can withdraw it at any time (section 5.4.2). They may not pass data to a third party without your express consent unless the law requires it (section 5.4.3), and must tell you when your data is exchanged (section 5.4.4). For who can lawfully reach your records, see who can demand your statement.

5. Complaints and redress

  1. Emergency fraud channels must be available at all times (section 6.2.4).
  2. Acknowledgement and tracking number within 24 hours (sections 6.2.2 and 6.3.2).
  3. Resolution timelines are set by complaint type in Annexure D: for example, card complaints 3 working days at first review and 2 at second; loan complaints 14 and 7.
  4. Unauthorised debits must be refunded with interest (section 6.3.7).
  5. Second review: ask in writing within 30 days of receiving the institution's resolution letter (section 6.3.13).
  6. Escalate to the CBN once internal resolution is exhausted, or if the institution fails to acknowledge within 3 days, within 90 days of the institution's decision (section 6.4.1).

Section 7 sets sanctions on the institution, including ₦2,000,000 per complaint for failing to acknowledge or issue a tracking number, and ₦500,000 per complaint per week while a resolution is late. These are paid to the regulator, not to you. Our guides cover how to complain to the CBN and what happens after you email the CBN.

What to check first

  • Log every complaint in writing and note the tracking number and time.
  • Quote the relevant section in your follow-up.
  • Keep the resolution letter: your 30-day and 90-day clocks start from it.
  • If the issue is with a non-bank seller or service, the FCCPC may be the right regulator instead.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme Financial Ltd is a technology company, and Naira deposits are held by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank, licensed by the CBN and insured by the NDIC up to the applicable limit. On Loans on Spaces, the full agreement, including amount, cost and repayment date, is shown before you accept. See Loans on Spaces.

Questions people ask

How long does a bank have to resolve a complaint in Nigeria?

It depends on the complaint type under Annexure D of the CBN Consumer Protection Regulations. Card complaints, for example, are 3 working days at first review and 2 at second; loan complaints 14 and 7.

When can I report my bank to the CBN?

After the bank's internal process is exhausted, or if it fails to acknowledge your complaint within 3 days. Escalate within 90 days of the bank's decision (section 6.4.1).

Can a bank share my information without consent?

Not unless a legal obligation requires it. Section 5.4.3 requires your express consent for third-party sharing.

Can I cancel a loan after signing in Nigeria?

Section 4.3.6 gives a 3-working-day cooling-off period after signing a credit contract with a CBN-regulated lender to cancel without penalty.
