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.

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.

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.

Step-by-step: complain to the provider first, then escalate to the CBN, FCCPC, NDPC or SEC. What to include, timelines, and a template you can copy.
Part of the guideIs your money safe in a Nigerian fintech?
Complain to the bank or fintech first, in writing, and get a tracking number; the CBN expects banks to acknowledge within three days and resolve most complaints in about two weeks. If they do not, escalate to the CBN Consumer Protection Department at cpd@cbn.gov.ng with proof you complained first; use the FCCPC for unfair treatment or abusive lending, the NDPC for data misuse and the SEC for investment platforms.
Most complaints are settled by the provider once they are made properly: in writing, with the facts, the amount and a clear request. Regulators step in when that fails, and they will ask whether you went to the provider first. This article sets out the route and what to include. For the checks to run before you trust a provider at all, see our guide is your money safe in a Nigerian fintech?
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says complaining to the institution first is mandatory. Use the channels listed in the app or on the official website, never a number from a social-media comment. Put it in writing, by email or in-app chat, even if you also call.
Ask for a tracking or reference number and keep every reply. If the issue is a failed transfer where your account was debited but the recipient was not credited, say so in those words; it is one of the most common complaints and banks have set procedures for reversal.
The CBN's guidance gives banks about two weeks to resolve most complaints, though some take less or more. You may escalate to the CBN if the provider does not acknowledge your complaint or issue a tracking number within three days, or does not resolve it within the timelines in the CBN's consumer protection rules. Under earlier CBN guidance, complaints about excess charges and loans have a 30-day window.
Which regulator depends on what went wrong and what licence the provider holds. Our guide to checking a CBN licence helps you find out who regulates whom.
| Problem | Regulator | How to reach it |
|---|---|---|
| Bank, MFB, PSB, mobile money or payment provider did not resolve a complaint | CBN Consumer Protection Department | Email cpd@cbn.gov.ng, or a letter to the Director, Consumer Protection Department, at CBN Head Office, Garki, Abuja, or any CBN branch |
| Unfair treatment, misleading adverts, abusive or harassing loan app | Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) | Online at complaints.fccpc.gov.ng, the FCCPC complaints app, or contact@fccpc.gov.ng |
| Misuse or leak of your personal data | Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) | Through the NDPC, after first raising it with the organisation |
| Investment platform, fund or Ponzi-style scheme | Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) | Through the SEC's complaints channels |
| Fraud or theft by a scheme or individual | Police or Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) | EFCC online petition, or your nearest police station |
The FCCPC says redress through its process can take from one day to 45 days, sometimes longer, and that complete documents speed it up. For data complaints, our explainer on your data rights under the NDPA covers what you can ask an organisation to do first.
Regulators work from documents. Whichever body you escalate to, send one email or form with everything in it: your name and contact details, the provider's full legal name, your account number, the transaction history for the period in question, the amount, copies of your complaint to the provider and any replies, and the reference number if you got one. Say plainly what outcome you want. Keep the regulator's own reference number when it replies, and use it in every follow-up so your case stays in one file.
On 3 October, Yemi sent ₦180,000 to a supplier. Her account was debited, the supplier was not credited, and the transfer showed as failed. She complained in the app the same day.
Her email to the CBN reads:
Subject: Unresolved complaint – [Bank name] – failed transfer of ₦180,000. I hold account [number] with [Bank name]. On 3 October 2026 I sent ₦180,000 (reference [ref]) to [recipient bank and account]. My account was debited but the recipient was not credited. I complained to the bank on 3 October and followed up on 6 October; copies attached. I have not received a tracking number or a resolution. I request a full reversal of ₦180,000. Attached: statement, screenshots and my correspondence with the bank. [Name, phone, email]
The email is short, dated, and shows she went to the bank first. That is what lets the CBN act on it.
If you are complaining because a provider has announced it is closing and has not returned your balance, our guide on what happens if a fintech shuts down explains what you are entitled to.
Complaints about a Pryme account go first through the contact page. Include your registered email, the transaction reference and the outcome you are asking for, and keep a copy of what you send. Pryme's Naira deposits in Nigeria are held by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Ltd, which is licensed by the CBN, and if a complaint is not resolved, the escalation routes described above, to the CBN, the FCCPC and the NDPC, are open to you as they are to any customer of a regulated provider. Solid Allianze is also the lender for Spaces credit, so a complaint about a credit agreement or repayment starts in the same place and follows the same escalation routes.
For the full picture of how to judge any provider before something goes wrong, read our guide to fintech safety in Nigeria.
Complain to the bank first and get a tracking number. If it does not acknowledge within three days or resolve within the set timelines, email cpd@cbn.gov.ng with your details, the transaction history and proof that you complained first.
CBN guidance gives about two weeks for most complaints, with acknowledgement and a tracking number expected within three days. Complaints about excess charges and loans have historically had 30 days.
To the FCCPC, through complaints.fccpc.gov.ng or its complaints app. Abusive debt recovery and misuse of contacts are breaches of the FCCPC's digital lending rules.
Yes, if the app or its deposit-holding partner is CBN-licensed. Find the licensed institution's legal name in the app's terms and name it in your complaint.
Your PIN, password, card CVV or one-time codes. No regulator or legitimate provider needs them to handle a complaint.
