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.

Where the last 30 days of official dollar-to-naira closing rates come from, what each column means and how to read the trend without guessing.
The last 30 days of official dollar-to-naira rates come from the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), which the Central Bank of Nigeria publishes daily on its Exchange Rates page with the closing rate, the high and low, and the turnover behind each day. The live 30-day figures are shown in the rate panel on this page; to read the trend, compare the first and last close, then check the range and the volume traded.
The only official daily series for the naira against the US dollar is the one the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) publishes for the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market, or NFEM. The CBN's Exchange Rates page describes the NFEM rate as a volume-weighted average of the day's trades and states that it stands as the official exchange rate for that day. The same page offers an export to Excel and a link to the full history, so anyone can rebuild a 30-day table from the source rather than from a screenshot passed around on WhatsApp.
The live chart and table in the rate panel on this page follow that CBN series. Parallel-market (street and BDC) rates are not part of it, because there is no official daily record of them; we explain that market separately in our parallel-rate history.
| Column on the CBN page | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| NFEM rate | The volume-weighted average for the day, which the CBN treats as the official rate |
| Highest and lowest rate | The range traded that day; a wide range means a jumpy session |
| Closing rate | Where trading ended; most news reports and charts use this |
| Simple average (mean) | The plain average of trades, not weighted by size |
| NFEM interbank turnover (US$) and deals | How many dollars changed hands between banks, and in how many trades |
| NFEM total turnover (US$) and deals | All NFEM activity, including trades beyond the interbank segment |
Turnover matters as much as the rate. A close that moves sharply on thin volume says less about the market than a smaller move on heavy volume.
Example only: if the first close in the window were 1,500.00 and the last were 1,470.00, the change is minus 30 divided by 1,500, which is minus 2.0%. Fewer naira buy a dollar at the end, so the naira strengthened by about 2% over the period. If the lowest close in between were 1,455.00 and the highest 1,510.00, the range of 55 shows the path was rougher than the net figure suggests.
The NFEM close is a wholesale reference. Banks, licensed bureaux de change, card issuers and apps all quote around it with a spread, and the parallel market can sit some distance away. In the week to 18 January 2026, for example, Nairametrics reported an official-parallel gap of ₦73, the widest since February 2025. Our guide to buying and selling rates explains the spread, and what moves the rate covers the forces behind a 30-day trend.
If you hold dollars in a Pryme account, they stay in dollars until you choose to convert. Swap shows the rate you will get before you confirm, with any fee on its own line, so you can set it against the official close and decide. Pryme accounts hold NGN, USD, GBP and EUR with local account details for each (multicurrency).
The CBN's Exchange Rates page publishes the daily NFEM rate with a history page and an Excel export. The rate panel on this page shows the same series for the last 30 days.
No. The CBN publishes the official NFEM rate. Parallel-market rates are reported by the press and dealers and can sit above or, at times, below the official rate.
Most charts use the closing rate. The NFEM rate is the volume-weighted average the CBN treats as the official rate for the day. Pick one and use it consistently.
No. A rising USD/NGN figure means more naira per dollar, so the naira is weaker. A falling figure means the naira has strengthened.
