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.

Dichiarazione di valore for a Nigerian degree in Italy

What a dichiarazione di valore is, which Italian office in Nigeria issues it, the MFA step first, and when a CIMEA statement can replace it.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, Rome · 24 Oct 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer

A dichiarazione di valore (DoV) is issued by the Italian Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos, not by any office in Italy, after the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has authenticated the degree and it has been translated into Italian. Many Italian bodies also accept CIMEA statements of comparability or verification, made online, but not every body treats them as a substitute, so ask the office that will receive it.

What a dichiarazione di valore is

A dichiarazione di valore in loco, usually shortened to DoV, is an official statement issued by an Italian diplomatic or consular office in the country where a qualification was awarded. It confirms that the certificate is authentic and describes what the qualification is worth in the education system of that country: the level, the length of the course, whether it gives access to further study, and the legal standing of the institution. A briefing by the immigration practice Lexia (January 2025) describes it as the reference document for Italian institutions, which is why universities, public competitions (concorsi), professional bodies and some employers ask for it.

For a Nigerian degree, the issuing office is Italian, not Nigerian. That means the Embassy of Italy in Abuja or the Consulate General of Italy in Lagos, depending on which Nigerian state issued the document. Nothing about the DoV is handled by the Embassy of Nigeria in Rome, and a Nigerian university cannot issue one itself.

Who issues it for a Nigerian qualification

The Italian Embassy in Abuja says it handles documents issued by authorities in the Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna, Kano, Niger, Plateau and Katsina; the Consulate General in Lagos covers all other Nigerian states. Requests go by email for an appointment: consolare.abuja@esteri.it for Abuja and lagos.consolare@esteri.it for Lagos (Embassy of Italy legalisation page, checked October 2026). Both offices start from the same principle: they will not act on a Nigerian document until the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has authenticated it.

The chain of steps

  1. Ask your university (and, for school results, WAEC) for the documents the Italian side needs. The Lagos consulate's study checklist lists the degree certificate, the transcript, the WAEC result and a birth certificate, and states that NECO results are not accepted.
  2. Have the documents authenticated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja. Nigeria is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so this authentication takes the place of an apostille. Olisa Agbakoba Legal describes the process as forms at the Legal Services Division, a quote per page, payment through Remita and collection when ready, with no fixed timeline.
  3. Have everything translated into Italian. The Abuja Embassy accepts a translation by the applicant or a third party and links to a list of translators known to it.
  4. Book the appointment with the Italian Embassy or Consulate and present the originals, translations and proof of MFA authentication. The Embassy says the fee is set by the Italian authorities and is disclosed at the appointment; it does not publish an amount.
  5. Receive the DoV and keep the legalised originals together with it. Italian offices usually want to see both.

The CIMEA alternative

CIMEA (Centro di Informazione sulla Mobilità e le Equivalenze Accademiche) is an accredited Italian body (as Lexia describes it). It issues two statements through its online platform, Diplome, without any visit to an embassy:

DocumentWhat it saysWhat it does not do
Attestato di comparabilitàPlaces the foreign qualification in the Bologna cycles and the EQF levels (for example, first-cycle degree)It is not a formal recognition of the degree
Attestato di verificaConfirms the qualification was really issued to you by the official issuing bodyLexia notes it does not in any way guarantee formal recognition
Dichiarazione di valoreEmbassy statement of authenticity and value in the issuing systemIt is issued only abroad, by the Italian mission

Lexia's briefing gives an average of 30 to 60 days for CIMEA statements and warns that costs can be significant; for the DoV it says the service is often free or symbolic but can take months at busy missions. It also says verification may be refused where an education system is not transparent or an institution is not recognised, and that CIMEA publishes no list of excluded countries. Lexia's own figures are general and not specific to Nigeria, so check the current CIMEA price and timeline on the Diplome platform before you choose.

Which one to ask for

The key line in the Lexia briefing is that not every Italian body accepts a CIMEA statement in place of a DoV. In practice, the receiving office decides. Before you spend money on either route, write to the office that will read the document and ask which it accepts.

  • University admission: some Italian universities accept CIMEA statements, but each publishes its own rules for foreign qualifications. Use the rule on the university's admissions page for your course and year.
  • Concorsi and public employment: these often have a separate equivalence procedure. Read the bando (call for applications); it says what proof of the qualification is accepted.
  • Regulated professions: nursing, medicine, engineering, law and similar professions need formal recognition from the competent ministry. A DoV or CIMEA statement is usually a supporting document, not the recognition itself.
  • Private employers: rules vary. A CIMEA comparability statement is often enough to show the level of your degree.

If you are applying from inside Italy and returning to Nigeria is not practical, CIMEA is usually the easier route to start. If a university or ministry insists on a DoV, you will need someone in Nigeria to handle the MFA step and the Italian appointment. Our guide to legalisation at the Italian Embassy in Abuja covers that part in more detail, and using Nigerian certificates in Italy covers the wider document trail.

What to check first

  1. Which document does the receiving office accept: DoV, CIMEA comparability, CIMEA verification, or more than one?
  2. Is your university's name and course exactly the same on the certificate, transcript and passport? Mismatches slow both routes.
  3. Do you have WAEC rather than NECO results, if school results are needed?
  4. Do you need a sworn translation in Italy as well, or is the translation presented to the Italian mission enough for your purpose?
  5. How long is the whole process likely to take compared with your deadline?

Where Pryme fits

Most of the costs on the Nigerian side, such as transcript fees, MFA authentication paid through Remita and a courier, are charged in naira. A Pryme account holds euros and naira side by side, so you can convert only what you need, with the rate and fee shown before you approve, and pay from your naira balance. Naira deposits are held by a licensed Nigerian microfinance bank; outside Nigeria, Pryme works through regulated partners. If someone in Nigeria is collecting documents for you, you can send them the money for fees directly.

Questions people ask

Can the Nigerian Embassy in Rome issue a dichiarazione di valore?

No. The DoV is issued only by the Italian embassy or consulate in the country where the qualification was awarded, so for Nigeria that is the Italian Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos.

Is a CIMEA certificate the same as a dichiarazione di valore?

No. A CIMEA comparability statement places your degree in the European framework, and a verification statement confirms it is authentic, but not every Italian body accepts them in place of a DoV. Ask the receiving office.

Do I need MFA authentication before the Italian Embassy will issue a DoV?

Yes. The Italian Embassy in Abuja asks for documents already legalised by the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, plus an Italian translation.

How much does a dichiarazione di valore cost for a Nigerian degree?

The Italian Embassy in Abuja does not publish the fee; it says the amount is set by the Italian authorities and given at the appointment. Add the Nigerian MFA authentication and translation costs.
