BruceCareYour competitor down the road sells the same thing you sell. The difference is who walks in. We put money in people’s hands that can only be spent in businesses like yours — and then we point them at you.
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.

No card, no OTP, nothing for the buyer to type in. They transfer from the bank app they already use, and the money lands in the same account your agents are running — already matched to the order, already in your books.
We give the buyer a one-time account number. They transfer to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in.

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.
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.
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.

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.

A step-by-step check of the FCCPC's approved lenders list, what each status means, and what to do when a loan app is missing or the names do not match.
Part of the guideCredit without a loan form: loan apps, BNPL and Spaces
Open the FCCPC website, go to Registration of Digital Money Lenders, and open the list of approved digital money lenders. Search for both the company name and the app name, and check its status: full approval or a CBN waiver means it may lend; conditional approval no longer counts, and an app that is missing should not be used. If the lender says it is a bank or microfinance bank, confirm that with the CBN as well.
Since 2025, any company lending to consumers through an app, website or other digital channel in Nigeria must be registered with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). Checking takes about five minutes and is the single most useful thing you can do before you borrow. This article walks through the check. For how loan apps compare with other kinds of everyday credit, see our guide to loan apps, BNPL and Spaces credit.
The Digital, Electronic, Online or Non-Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations, 2025 (the DEON Regulations) require digital lenders to register with the FCCPC before they operate. Registration comes with obligations you can rely on: costs, repayment terms and fees must be fully disclosed before any transaction is completed, credit must be opt-in only, and the lender must declare that its app will not access your call logs, contacts or photos. The FCCPC can fine a company up to ₦100 million or 1% of the previous year's turnover, whichever is greater, and disqualify directors for up to five years.
An unregistered lender has made none of those commitments, and you have fewer routes to complain. The FCCPC revoked the conditional approvals of lenders that missed its 5 January 2026 compliance deadline and has removed non-compliant operators from its list.
| Status | What it means | Should you borrow? |
|---|---|---|
| Full approval | The lender has met the FCCPC's registration requirements and may operate. | Yes, if the terms suit you. |
| CBN waiver | The app belongs to a CBN-licensed institution, such as a microfinance bank, and is supervised by the CBN instead of registering as a digital lender. | Yes, after confirming the licence with the CBN. |
| Conditional approval | A past interim status. Conditional approvals were revoked for lenders that missed the January 2026 deadline. | Treat as not registered unless the lender now appears with full approval. |
| Watchlist or delisted | The lender is under investigation or has been removed. | No. |
| Not listed | No record of registration. | No. |
A missing app is not always a scam, but you should not borrow until the doubt is resolved. Common reasons, and what to do:
Reports about the register are not always accurate. In June 2026 the FCCPC publicly denied a widely shared report that it had approved 48 more loan apps, saying no new approvals had been issued while the court order was in place. Check the FCCPC's own website and official accounts rather than a news story or a list in a group chat.
An approved lender can still be the wrong lender for you. Once the name checks out, read the offer the same way you would read any loan, starting with the total naira cost. Our explainer on APR versus flat fees shows how to compare prices quoted in different ways. Then:
If a lender is already harassing you, our article on loan app harassment and your rights covers the steps to take. For the wider picture of how digital lending is regulated, including the CBN's role, see the section on the rules in our everyday credit guide.
Pryme's credit features, Spaces credit and Salary Advance, are Nigeria-only and are offered inside the Pryme app. The checks in this article apply to any credit you are offered, from any provider: read the full agreement, look at who provides the credit, and confirm that provider on the FCCPC's list or the CBN's list of financial institutions before you accept. For Spaces credit, the lender is Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Ltd, a CBN-licensed microfinance bank, which you can confirm on the CBN's list of financial institutions; Pryme Financial provides the technology. Questions about Pryme can go to contact.
A Spaces limit is offered based on how you run your account. You see the full agreement and choose whether to accept it before anything can be drawn, and the credit can be spent only with merchants in Pryme's Spaces ecosystem. Solid Allianze, the lender, is integrated with all of Nigeria's licensed credit bureaus, and its credit decisions draw on them. As a CBN-licensed lender, Solid Allianze's credit activity sits within Nigeria's credit-reporting system, so repaying on time helps build a credit history.
On the FCCPC website, under Registration of Digital Money Lenders. There is a list of approved digital money lenders, showing company names and app names, and a separate list for airtime and data lenders.
Conditional approval was an interim status. The FCCPC revoked conditional approvals for lenders that missed the 5 January 2026 deadline, so treat a lender that still describes itself as conditionally approved as unregistered unless it now appears with full approval.
A loan app owned by a CBN-licensed institution, such as a microfinance bank, can hold a waiver instead of full registration, because the CBN supervises it. Confirm the bank's licence on the CBN's list of financial institutions.
Yes, as of October 2026. A court paused enforcement in April 2026, but on 20 July 2026 the Federal High Court upheld the Regulations and the FCCPC resumed enforcement. An appeal has been filed, so check the FCCPC's website for changes.
Do not borrow from it. If you already have a loan with it, keep records, repay only what your agreement says to the lender's official account, and report it to the FCCPC through its complaints portal.
