Ten years, one trunk

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.

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.

How to apply for an EEDC prepaid meter in Owerri

The EEDC meter request portal, what you need for an Owerri address, what the MAP rules say about cost and installation, and who to call.

PE
Pryme editorialCities desk, Owerri · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

To get an EEDC prepaid meter in Owerri you apply through EEDC's meter request portal (meterrequest.eedc.online), which runs the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) scheme, and you can track the application on the same site. Under MAP the customer pays for the meter; NERC deregulated MAP meter prices from 1 May 2024, so check the price EEDC shows before paying. NERC's MAP rules say installation should follow within ten working days of payment.

Many Owerri tenants and landlords still pay estimated bills on postpaid accounts or share one meter across several flats. A prepaid meter ends the argument about estimates, but the process is not obvious. Here is how it works for an address in Owerri, Ikenegbu, Aladinma, World Bank estate, Orji or anywhere in EEDC's Owerri and New Owerri districts.

Which scheme applies to you

NERC's metering factsheet (13 October 2026) lists several routes: the Meter Asset Provider scheme (MAP), the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP), a Meter Acquisition Fund and a DisCo investment route, with a Presidential Metering Initiative planned from 2027. For an individual customer the route you can start yourself is MAP. EEDC's website links straight to it and does not describe an NMMP application for customers, so do not pay anyone who says they can 'get you a free NMMP meter' for a fee.

MAP
Meter Asset Provider: licensed companies supply and install meters for the DisCo; the customer pays for the meter up front.
NERC/2024/040
NERC order that deregulated MAP meter prices from 1 May 2024; prices are now set by competitive bidding, so they vary by DisCo and over time.
ISERC
Imo State Electricity Regulatory Commission, which took over regulatory oversight of Imo's electricity market from NERC under a June 2024 order.

Steps to apply

  1. Gather your details. Your existing EEDC account number (from a postpaid bill), the address, a phone number and an email, and a valid ID. If you are a tenant, ask the landlord first, because the meter is fixed to the building.
  2. Open the portal. EEDC's website links 'Request for a meter' to meterrequest.eedc.online. A downloadable MAP application form is also linked from the EEDC site if you prefer paper.
  3. Choose meter type. Single-phase suits most flats; three-phase is for larger homes and shops with heavy loads. If unsure, ask the EEDC Owerri office before paying.
  4. Wait for the price and payment instruction. The meter price is set under the deregulated MAP regime. EEDC shows its current prices in a banner on its site. Pay only through the channel the portal gives you, which NERC requires to be a dedicated account for meter payments.
  5. Track the application. Use the 'Track your MAP application' link (meterrequest.eedc.online/checkstatus) with your reference.
  6. Installation and first token. After installation, check that the meter number on your account matches the meter on the wall before buying your first token.

Compounds with several flats

Owerri has many face-me-I-face-you buildings and small compounds where one postpaid account covers several flats and the landlord splits the bill. If that is your situation, there are three common ways forward, and each has a different paperwork trail.

  • One meter per flat. Each occupant (or the landlord on their behalf) applies separately, so each flat gets its own account and its own token history. This ends disputes over sharing, but each application is paid for separately.
  • Landlord applies for all flats. The landlord pays and recovers the cost through rent or a written agreement. Ask for a copy of the payment receipt and the meter number assigned to your flat.
  • Sub-meters on a single EEDC meter. Some landlords install private check meters. These are not EEDC meters, EEDC cannot vend tokens to them, and any complaint about readings is a matter between you and the landlord.

Whichever you choose, ask EEDC to close or convert the old postpaid account so that estimated bills stop arriving, and clear any outstanding balance in writing before the meter is fitted, so the debt is not carried onto the new prepaid account.

If the meter does not come

Keep your payment reference and portal reference together. If installation has passed ten working days, contact EEDC first. Its Owerri District page gives the office as No. 2 Royce Road, Owerri, and the phone line 084700100, though the page was last updated in 2017. EEDC also runs a complaint portal at complaint.myeedc.com. NERC's factsheet sets the escalation path as DisCo first, then the regulator's forum, then appeal; in a state with its own regulator, the second and third steps go to that regulator, which for Owerri is ISERC.

What to check first

  • The meter installer has EEDC identification and the work order matches your reference.
  • The meter is sealed and its number is on your EEDC account.
  • You are not asked for cash 'for the installer' on top of the portal payment.
  • Your band is right after migration: check at validatecustomer.eedc.online.

Where Pryme fits

Once the meter is in, you can buy tokens from your Pryme account through electricity bill payments, and keep the meter payment receipt with your other records. Our general guide to getting a prepaid meter under MAP covers the scheme nationally, and buying an EEDC token in Owerri covers every vending channel.

Questions people ask

How much is an EEDC prepaid meter in Owerri now?

MAP meter prices have been deregulated since 1 May 2024, so there is no single fixed price. EEDC shows its current prices on its website and the portal; check there before paying.

Is the EEDC prepaid meter free?

Under the MAP scheme the customer pays for the meter up front. Ask EEDC whether any later credit applies to your meter, and be wary of anyone selling a 'free' meter.

How long does EEDC take to install a meter?

NERC's MAP rules say installation should be within ten working days of payment. If it takes longer, complain to EEDC in writing and keep your references.

Can a tenant apply for a prepaid meter in Owerri?

A tenant can apply, but the meter is fixed to the property, so get the landlord's consent and agree in writing who owns it.
