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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

Collecting rent on a Lagos flat while living in Abu Dhabi

Letting a Lagos flat from Abu Dhabi: the agent mandate, the Tenancy Law rules on rent in advance and receipts, Land Use Charge and records.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, Abu Dhabi · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

You can let a Lagos flat from Abu Dhabi by appointing an agent under a written mandate, having rent paid straight into a naira account in your own name, and issuing a receipt for every payment, which the Lagos Tenancy Law 2011 requires. The same law limits how much rent in advance you may take, outside the exempt areas of Apapa, Ikeja GRA, Ikoyi and Victoria Island.

Distance changes what can go wrong with a let. The risks are rent collected but not passed on, a tenant you never vetted, an unpaid Land Use Charge bill, and no paperwork when you need to recover the flat. The structure below keeps the money and the records under your control even when someone else does the visits.

Choose and paper the agent

Start with who is allowed to act. LASRERA, the Lagos real estate regulator, has a "Search for Agents" tool on its portal; check your agent or firm there before signing. Then set out the mandate in writing:

  • what the agent may do: market the flat, show it, vet tenants, sign or only negotiate the tenancy, arrange repairs up to a stated amount;
  • what the agent may not do: receive rent into their own account, accept rent beyond the legal limit, or grant a new tenancy without your written approval;
  • the agent's fee, when it is earned, and how it is paid (from you, not deducted from rent you never see);
  • monthly or quarterly reports, with photos after each inspection.

If the agent or a relative will sign tenancy agreements or go to court for you, a power of attorney is the usual tool. A legal guide notes that one executed outside Nigeria must be witnessed by a notary public, judge or magistrate, and that stamping comes before registration. See signing a Nigerian power of attorney in the UAE.

What the Lagos Tenancy Law says about rent

The Tenancy Law 2011 applies across Lagos except in the areas it exempts: Apapa, Ikeja GRA, Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Lekki is not on the exempt list. Where it applies:

RuleSectionWhat it means for you
Rent in advance from a new tenants.4(3)No more than one year
Rent in advance from a sitting monthly tenants.4(1)No more than six months
Rent in advance from a sitting yearly tenants.4(1)No more than one year
Penalty for taking or paying excesss.4(5)Fine of ₦100,000 or three months' imprisonment; the tenant who offers it is also in breach
Receiptss.5A receipt for every payment, with date, names and addresses, premises, amount and period
Deposits and service chargess.10A separate receipt, and a written account at least every six months

A 2025 draft bill proposed tighter limits, including three months for sitting monthly tenants and a ₦1,000,000 fine, but a law firm's review in September 2025 reported no passage. Check the current position before relying on either text. The Ledger covers the full rules in Lagos Tenancy Law: rent advance, receipts and notice to quit.

Collecting the money

  1. Rent goes to an account in your name, never the agent's. Put the account details in the tenancy agreement.
  2. Use a reference the tenant must quote, such as the flat number and period.
  3. Issue the receipt yourself or approve the agent's draft before it goes out, so the s.5 details are right.
  4. Pay the agent from your account after the rent has landed, against an invoice.
  5. If the tenant is a company, expect withholding tax to be deducted from rent. PwC's Nigeria summary lists 10% on rent, and the tenant should give you a credit note for what it deducts.

A worked example

Example only. Tunde in Abu Dhabi lets a two-bedroom flat in Yaba to a company for ₦4,800,000 a year, paid one year in advance, which is within the s.4(3) limit for a new tenant. The company deducts 10% withholding tax, ₦480,000, and pays ₦4,320,000 into his account with a credit note for the ₦480,000. His agent's fee is 10% of the gross rent, ₦480,000, invoiced and paid by Tunde. His net receipt before other costs is ₦4,320,000 minus ₦480,000, so ₦3,840,000.

Bills the landlord pays

Lagos Land Use Charge is the owner's bill, not the tenant's. In March 2026 the Lagos Ministry of Finance said landlords and owners must pay, offered a 15% discount for paying early within the stated period, and listed internet banking, bank branches, USSD, POS at LUC offices and the Lagos Revenue Portal among the channels. Ask your agent to send you the bill as soon as it arrives so you can pay directly.

Records to keep, and tax

  • the signed tenancy agreement and any renewals;
  • every receipt issued and every bank credit, matched month by month;
  • withholding tax credit notes from corporate tenants;
  • Land Use Charge bills and payment confirmations;
  • repair invoices and the agent's statements.

Rent from a Lagos property is Nigerian-source income. A tax commentary on the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 says income of non-residents derived from Nigeria is chargeable and that non-residents file returns with the NRS by 31 March of the following year. How that applies to you depends on your residence status; take advice from a Nigerian tax adviser. This is information, not tax advice.

Where Pryme fits

Tenants can pay rent into the naira account details on your Pryme account, opened from Abu Dhabi, and you can issue a verifiable receipt for each payment, which anyone can check is genuine and unaltered. Your Personal Assistant can remind you when rent or the Land Use Charge is due; nothing moves without your approval. Naira held with Pryme sits with a licensed Nigerian microfinance bank, regulated by the CBN and insured by the NDIC up to the applicable limit. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's activities are carried out through regulated partners.

Questions people ask

How much rent in advance can a Lagos landlord collect?

Under the Tenancy Law 2011, no more than one year from a new tenant, outside Apapa, Ikeja GRA, Ikoyi and Victoria Island.

Should my agent collect rent into their own account?

Better not. Have rent paid into an account in your name and pay the agent against an invoice.

Who pays Land Use Charge in Lagos, landlord or tenant?

The landlord or owner, as the Lagos government restated in March 2026.

Do I need a power of attorney to let my flat from Abu Dhabi?

Only if someone will sign or act legally for you. Signed abroad, it must be witnessed by a notary, judge or magistrate.
