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.

No card, no OTP, nothing for the buyer to type in. They transfer from the bank app they already use, and the money lands in the same account your agents are running — already matched to the order, already in your books.

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.

What Eko Electricity charges per kWh in each band, as shown on its tariff page in October 2026, and where to check the figure before you buy.
As shown on EKEDC's tariff page when checked in October 2026, Band A costs ₦209.50 per kWh for every customer class, while Bands B to E range from ₦32.44 to ₦64.07 per kWh depending on band and whether you are a maximum-demand customer. VAT is added on top. Tariffs can change monthly, so check ekedp.com/tariff-plans and your band on feederinfo.ekedp.com before relying on any figure.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC, also written Eko DisCo or EKEDP) publishes its rates on its Tariff Plans page. The figures below are what that page showed when we checked it in October 2026. They match the rates in NERC's February 2025 supplementary tariff order for Eko DisCo (ORDER/NERC/2025/005), which set Band A at ₦209.50 from July 2024 and kept Bands B to E at their December 2022 levels.
| Band (minimum daily supply) | Non-MD (most homes and small shops) | MD1 | MD2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Band A (20 hours) | ₦209.50 | ₦209.50 | ₦209.50 |
| Band B (16 hours) | ₦61.00 | ₦64.07 | ₦64.07 |
| Band C (12 hours) | ₦48.53 | ₦52.05 | ₦52.05 |
| Band D (8 hours) | ₦32.48 | ₦43.27 | ₦43.27 |
| Band E (4 hours) | ₦32.44 | ₦43.27 | ₦43.27 |
Non-MD means non-maximum demand: the class most households and small businesses fall into, such as residential R2 and commercial C1. MD1 and MD2 are maximum-demand customers on larger supplies, such as estates, factories and big commercial buildings. EKEDC's page lists the tariff codes under each heading, so check the code printed on your bill or token receipt.
The band is set by the feeder that supplies your street, not by your house or your meter. A feeder in Band A is supposed to deliver at least 20 hours of supply a day; Band E only 4. Since April 2024 the Federal Government's policy has been to charge Band A customers close to the full cost of supply, while the lower bands remain subsidised. EKEDC's own FAQ describes Band A as the band where customers "receiving the highest quality of service will pay close to the cost-reflective tariff".
NERC's Eko order also explains that approved tariffs can be reviewed monthly for inflation, the naira-dollar exchange rate and the price of gas used for generation. That is why a figure you read in an old news story may not be today's figure. The Band A rate, for example, was ₦225.00 in April 2024 and ₦206.80 in May and June 2024 before settling at ₦209.50.
Lagos has its own regulator. NERC's transfer order gave the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission (LASERC) oversight of electricity supply inside Lagos, with Eko and Ikeja DisCos told to set up Lagos subsidiaries and apply to LASERC for licences, with all steps due by June 2025, according to BusinessDay's report of the order. If LASERC issues a new tariff order, EKEDC's page should change; treat LASERC and EKEDC as the places to confirm any change.
For background on what each band promises and how to challenge a band you think is wrong, see NERC electricity bands A to E explained and how to check if your EKEDC feeder is Band A.
The per-kWh rate is only part of what you pay. VAT at 7.5% is added, and some vending channels add a service charge. Example: a Band A Non-MD customer who buys ₦10,000 of electricity pays about ₦697.67 VAT, leaving ₦9,302.33 for energy, which buys about 44.4 kWh at ₦209.50. The same ₦10,000 in Band B Non-MD at ₦61.00 buys about 152.5 kWh. Our worked example for how many units ₦5,000 buys on EKEDC goes through each band.
Paying the Band A rate comes with a service promise. NERC's Eko order requires EKEDC to publish rolling seven-day supply averages for its Band A feeders on its website every day, to explain service failures and to give restoration timelines. Feeders that persistently miss the 20-hour minimum can be downgraded, with customers compensated, and the same order lists feeders upgraded into Band A from 1 February 2025.
In August 2026 EKEDC posted a notice on special compensation for Band A customers covering February and March 2026, with a page where customers can enter a meter or account number to see the compensation applied. If your street pays ₦209.50 and gets far less than 20 hours a day, log the outages, check the feeder availability notices on ekedp.com, and raise it with EKEDC in writing. Our guide on EKEDC Band A shortfalls, refunds and downgrades covers the process.
Lagos is split between EKEDC and Ikeja Electric. In NERC's July 2025 order for Ikeja Electric, Band A was also ₦209.50, but the lower bands differed slightly: Band B Non-MD was ₦62.48 against EKEDC's ₦61.00, for example. The full side-by-side is in EKEDC vs Ikeja Electric tariff.
You can pay electricity bills and buy tokens from the Pryme app (electricity bills), with the charge shown before you confirm. If you want a reminder before units run low, the Personal Assistant can prepare a top-up for you to approve.
EKEDC's tariff page showed ₦209.50 per kWh for Band A in all classes when checked in October 2026, before VAT. Check ekedp.com/tariff-plans for any change.
₦61.00 per kWh for Non-MD customers and ₦64.07 for MD1 and MD2, as shown on EKEDC's tariff page in October 2026, before VAT.
Enter your meter or account number on feederinfo.ekedp.com. EKEDC's help centre says to try Chrome or Edge, and to call customer care if your record does not appear.
No. The published rates are per kWh before VAT. VAT, which remains 7.5% under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, is added when you pay.
