Meet Eva, the assistant inside the Pryme app. She holds dollars, pounds, euros and Naira side by side, swaps at a locked rate, pays bills in any of them and sends anywhere, asking before anything moves.













We give you a limit to spend at the shops and services you already use — and an account that works on your month while you get on with it. Dollars, pounds and euros sit beside your Naira, and an assistant handles the running of it, asking you first every single time.

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.

A side-by-side of published deposit, conversion, withdrawal and card fees, limits and regulation for Grey, Cleva and Raenest (formerly Geegpay).
Geegpay is now Raenest: Raenest said in October 2025 that "Geegpay is now Raenest Personal", so this is a three-way choice. On their own pages as at October 2026, Grey charges 0.8% (minimum $2, maximum $10) on ACH deposits, Cleva states $1 below $300 and $3 above, and Raenest ran a campaign from November 2025 giving four free deposits a month. Rates and limits differ; check each app.
Many Nigerians still search for Geegpay. In a blog post dated 13 October 2025, Raenest wrote: "Geegpay is now Raenest Personal." So comparing Geegpay with Raenest is comparing an old name with the new one. The real choice in this group is between three providers: Grey, Cleva and Raenest.
Each figure below is what the provider states on its own page (or, for Raenest's deposit offer, in a press release it issued), with the date of that page. Where a provider's own pages did not state a figure, we say so rather than borrow a rival's claim.
| Grey | Cleva | Raenest (formerly Geegpay) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Currencies for receiving | USD, GBP, EUR | USD (its March 2026 article); site menu also mentions GBP and EUR | USD, GBP, EUR |
| USD deposit fee | ACH 0.8%, min $2, max $10; Fedwire $20 (May 2025 FAQ) | $1 below $300, $3 above $300 (Mar 2026) | Four free deposits a month under a campaign from 3 Nov 2025, no end date stated |
| Conversion to naira | 1% capped at $6 (USD to NGN) | States "no conversion markup" | Not stated on the Raenest pages we read |
| Naira withdrawal | ₦35 flat via NIBSS | ₦0 (Mar 2026) | Not stated on the Raenest pages we read |
| Virtual card | Virtual Mastercard, $5 to create, 2% + $0.50 on non-USD sites | Virtual card, $3 to create | Virtual and physical USD cards; fees not stated in what we read |
| Published limits | ₦2,000,000 per transaction; $10,000 daily; $30,000 monthly (US-to-Nigeria page) | Not stated in what we read | Not stated in what we read |
| Regulation as stated | Grey Inc registered with FinCEN; Grey Finance Inc with FINTRAC; not a bank | No regulator named on the page we read | Raenest Inc. licensed by the CBN as an IMTO; US and Canadian MSB registrations; not a bank |
Example only, using the deposit fees above and assuming payment by ACH or a standard US bank transfer.
| Grey | Cleva | Raenest | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit fee | 0.8% of $500 = $4 | $3 (deposit of $300 or more) | $0 if within four free deposits that month and the campaign still runs |
| Amount landing | $496 | $497 | $500 |
| Conversion fee if all converted | 1% of $496 = $4.96 | None stated | Check the app |
| Naira withdrawal | ₦35 | ₦0 | Check the app |
What this example cannot show is the exchange rate, and for most people that is where the biggest difference lies. A provider that charges no conversion fee can still pay you fewer naira if its rate is weaker. Grey says it shows the live rate and total fee before you confirm; the fair test is to open all three apps at the same moment, enter the same amount, and compare the naira you would receive.
Raenest's contact page states that Raenest Inc. is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria as an International Money Transfer Operator, and names US and UK banking partners. Grey's pages describe US and Canadian registrations and do not mention a CBN licence. Cleva's article we read did not name a regulator. None of the three describes itself as a bank. See is Grey safe and licensed and is Raenest safe and licensed.
If you are paid through Upwork, check which provider's details Upwork accepts for your profile; Cleva's article says it waives fees on Upwork deposits throughout 2026, and Grey publishes Upwork steps (see Upwork, Fiverr or PayPal into Grey). Raenest's press release lists PayPal, Payoneer, Wise and Deel among sources it accepts.
Grey's deposit fee stops at $10 on ACH, so on large payments it becomes a small share. Cleva's $3 flat above $300 is lower still on paper. Grey also publishes a ₦2,000,000 per-transaction cap on naira withdrawals; we did not find published caps for the other two, which does not mean there are none.
For a broader view, see how freelancers in Nigeria receive dollars.
Pryme offers USD, GBP and EUR local details alongside naira in one multicurrency account. Swap shows the rate first and the fee on its own line before you approve, which makes it easy to run the same side-by-side test.
Yes. Raenest announced on 13 October 2025 that "Geegpay is now Raenest Personal".
On deposit fees alone, Raenest's free-deposit campaign and Cleva's flat $1 or $3 are lower than Grey's 0.8% on many amounts, as at October 2026. The exchange rate usually matters more, so compare naira received in each app.
Of the three, Raenest's contact page states that Raenest Inc. is licensed by the CBN as an IMTO. Grey's pages describe US and Canadian registrations; Cleva's article we read named no regulator.
Raenest's materials mention virtual and physical USD cards. Grey and Cleva describe virtual cards in what we read.
