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.

The CBN stopped new intervention loans in December 2023. Here is which federal farm-finance routes remain and how to approach each one.
The big CBN farm schemes, including the Anchor Borrowers' Programme and AGSMEIS, stopped taking new loans when the CBN suspended new lending under its intervention schemes in December 2023. What remains in 2026 runs through institutions: the Bank of Agriculture, which the federal government says it is recapitalising, NIRSAL Microfinance Bank, state input programmes such as NAGS-AP, and bank loans funded by development lenders. Each has its own branch or desk process, and none is applied for on a social-media link.
For most of the last decade, a Nigerian farmer who heard about a "federal government loan" was usually hearing about a Central Bank of Nigeria scheme. That era has ended. In October 2023 the CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, said there was "a need to pull the CBN back from direct development finance interventions", leaving the bank with an advisory and convening role. In December 2023, as reported later by Leadership, the CBN formally suspended new loans under all of its existing development intervention schemes and said it would recover money already lent.
By January 2026 the Federal Ministry of Finance said it would take over the development-finance work the CBN used to do and write a guideline for a new strategy built around development finance institutions (DFIs). Agribusiness value chains are one of the sectors the ministry named. Until that guideline is published and money flows through it, farmers should treat any claim of a brand-new national farm loan with care.
| Route | Status as we could confirm it (Oct 2026) | How you approach it |
|---|---|---|
| Bank of Agriculture (BOA) | The Minister of State for Agriculture said in February 2025 that government is "recapitalising" BOA; no amount or completion date was given | Visit the nearest BOA branch; ask which products are currently funded |
| NIRSAL Microfinance Bank | Operating as a microfinance bank; current product list not confirmed for this article | Branch or the bank's own channels; see our NIRSAL MFB guide |
| NAGS-AP input support | Status of the current season not confirmed for this article | State Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) or the ministry's announced registration |
| Bank of Industry (BOI) | Lends to CAC-registered businesses; useful for processors rather than smallholders | Online at boi.ng/apply or a BOI branch |
| Commercial banks and MFBs using development-bank funds | Depends on the bank | Your own bank's SME desk |
| CBN schemes (ABP, AGSMEIS and others) | New loans suspended since December 2023 | Not open for new applications |
BOA is the federal government's specialised farm lender and works through branches across the country. Its main constraint has been capital, which is why the February 2025 statement by Aliyu Abdullahi, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, matters: "We are recapitalising the Bank of Agriculture to make food accessible and affordable to Nigerians." Because no figure or timetable was published with that statement, the honest position is that you should ask your branch what it is lending on now. Our Bank of Agriculture guide covers the application itself.
NIRSAL MFB was the channel for several CBN schemes and still operates as a licensed microfinance bank. It is not the same body as NIRSAL Plc, which provides credit-risk guarantees to banks. Product details change, so check the bank's own channels and read our comparison of NIRSAL MFB loan products.
Input support such as fertiliser, seed and mechanisation services under the National Agricultural Growth Scheme (NAGS-AP) has been delivered through registration drives and state structures rather than a single online form. We could not confirm the current season's dates, so ask your state ADP office or extension officer, and only register through channels they name.
Example only, with assumed figures. A cooperative member borrows ₦600,000 for one season at an assumed 12% a year, repaid in one sum after six months, with an assumed 1% processing fee taken upfront.
Ask any lender to write down the rate, whether it is per month or per year, every fee and the repayment dates before you sign. A rate quoted per month is about twelve times larger per year.
Pryme is not a farm lender. What it can do is help a farmer or cooperative keep clean records: a Naira account held with Solid Allianze MFB, and statements you can generate as verifiable statements through VerifyDoc.ai so a lender can confirm they are unaltered. Cooperatives that buy inputs together can also save towards a season in Savings Boxes.
Yes, but not through the CBN. Routes in 2026 are the Bank of Agriculture, NIRSAL Microfinance Bank, state input programmes and banks lending development-bank funds. CBN schemes stopped new loans in December 2023.
Go through a registered cooperative or farmer group, visit the lender's branch (BOA or NIRSAL MFB) or your state ADP for inputs, and bring BVN, NIN, farm details and a bank account showing farm income.
No new Anchor Borrowers' loans are being made; the CBN suspended new lending under its intervention schemes in December 2023 and is pursuing recovery of earlier loans.
Do not pay any fee to an individual or into a personal account to "release" a loan. Genuine lenders state fees in writing and deduct them from the loan or collect them through the institution.
