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.

Selling South African wine into Nigeria: NAFDAC approval, the buyer's Form M and proforma, prohibition list checks, and duty and excise questions.
South African wine sold in Nigeria needs NAFDAC approval, normally held by the Nigerian importer, and the buyer must open a Form M with your proforma invoice (valid at most 90 days) before you ship. Wine was not on the Nigerian prohibition list we checked, but duty and VAT apply, and possibly excise; get a current landed-cost estimate from the buyer's customs agent.
Nigeria is a sizeable market for wine, and South African producers and Nigerian-owned import businesses in Cape Town and Johannesburg regularly ask what it takes to sell there. The work splits into three parts: NAFDAC approval of the product, the Nigerian buyer's import paperwork, and the duty and charges at the Nigerian port. This guide sets out what we could confirm from official and bank sources, and where you need the buyer or a Nigerian agent to get current figures.
NAFDAC regulates food and drinks sold in Nigeria, and that includes wine. Nigerian banks treat its documents as part of import paperwork: Sterling Bank's Form M guide says the Form M is accompanied, depending on the goods, by certificates such as NAFDAC's or SON's. In practice the Nigerian importer applies for NAFDAC registration of each wine, with the producer supplying technical information, labels and samples. The registration sits with a Nigerian company, so decide early who that will be: your distributor or your own Nigerian entity.
We did not open NAFDAC's current guidelines for wine for this article, so we cannot list the documents or fees. Ask the buyer's regulatory officer for the current checklist, and see registering an imported product with NAFDAC for the general process.
Nigeria's import prohibition list on the Nigeria Trade Information Portal includes water, soft drinks and beer (energy drinks excepted), and retail-packed juices, but we did not see wine on it. ThisDay's report of the revised list dated 1 April 2026 also does not mention wine among its 17 categories. That list changes, so check the current version before every contract; see checking Nigeria's prohibition list.
Every import into Nigeria starts with the buyer's Form M, filed electronically through the National Single Window and validated by the buyer's bank. Sterling Bank's guide says it needs a proforma invoice valid for no more than 90 days and an electronic insurance certificate for 110% of the invoice value, and that the goods should ship only after Customs has registered the Form M. A Form M marked 'Valid for FX' allows the buyer to buy foreign exchange through the official market; 'Not Valid for FX' means the buyer pays from their own foreign currency.
Our guide to Form M documents for SA exporters covers this in detail.
Expect import duty and VAT at the Nigerian port, and ask whether excise applies to wine on your tariff line. We could not confirm current rates for wine from an official page for this guide, and they move: Nigeria's 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures, for example, took effect on 1 July 2026 and changed vehicle levies, Arise News reported. Ask the Nigerian buyer or their licensed customs agent for a landed-cost estimate on your HS line before agreeing a price, and state in the contract who bears each cost.
You must be registered with SARS as an exporter before trading. SARS handles these registrations through its Registration, Licensing and Accreditation (RLA) process, which can be done on eFiling, Engineering News reported in November 2025. Wine may also need South African certification on the producer side before export; your producer or a wine export agent will know the current steps.
Because the NAFDAC registration and the Form M both sit with a Nigerian company, your importer controls your access to the market. Before signing an exclusive distribution agreement, agree who owns the registrations if the relationship ends, how quickly the importer must apply for them, what minimum volumes apply, and how disputes are settled. Check the company on the Corporate Affairs Commission's public register and ask for references from other foreign suppliers. Labels, invoices and the registration must describe each wine identically, so share final artwork with the importer before printing.
Most first orders into Nigeria are paid in advance or by letter of credit. A letter of credit links payment to documents, so make sure the label, invoice, packing list and NAFDAC details match exactly. See letters of credit with a Nigerian buyer.
If your Nigerian buyer pays in dollars, a Pryme Business Account can receive USD with its own account details and hold it until you decide to convert; the rate and fee are shown before you approve. Outside Nigeria, Pryme works through regulated partners. See Business multicurrency and invoicing.
