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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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.

Haulage business: how haulage is priced per trip

How Nigerian haulage trips are priced: diesel, driver pay, tolls and levies, tyres and the empty return, worked into a per-trip and per-tonne-km example.

PE
Pryme editorialMake money desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Haulage is priced by adding up the full cost of a round trip (diesel, the driver and assistant, levies, tyres, maintenance, insurance and the truck's own cost) and adding a margin, then dividing by tonnes carried if the client wants a per-tonne rate. In our labelled example, a 30-tonne load on a 900 km route costs ₦2.35 million for the round trip and is quoted at about ₦2.94 million, or roughly ₦109 per tonne-km.

How haulage is sold

Haulage companies move goods by truck between ports, factories, depots, farms and markets. Clients buy it in three ways: a price per trip for a full truckload, a price per tonne for part loads or bulk goods, and longer contracts with a fixed rate per trip or per tonne-kilometre over months. Whichever way the price is expressed, it has to cover the same costs, and the most common mistake is pricing only the loaded leg and forgetting that the truck has to come back.

The costs in a trip

Diesel
The biggest single cost on long routes. The refinery gantry diesel price was reported at ₦1,605 a litre in August 2026; pump prices are higher and vary by state.
Driver and assistant
Usually a trip allowance plus a monthly wage, with feeding and night-stop money on long routes.
Tolls, levies and park fees
Road tolls, loading-bay and park charges, and any other charges collected along the route.
Tyres
A heavy truck runs many tyres, and long-distance work wears them fast; set aside a reserve per kilometre.
Maintenance
Servicing, brakes, suspension and breakdown repairs.
Insurance and papers
NAICOM's 2023 rates set third-party cover for commercial trucks at ₦100,000 a year (₦5 million property damage limit). Goods-in-transit cover for the load is separate.
The truck itself
Loan repayments or depreciation, spread over the trips it makes in a year.

A worked per-trip example

Example only; every figure is an assumption. A truck carries 30 tonnes on a 900 km route and returns empty, so it drives 1,800 km. It does 2.5 km per litre of diesel, bought at ₦1,700 a litre at the pump.

CostPer round trip (example)
Diesel: 1,800 km ÷ 2.5 km/l = 720 litres × ₦1,700₦1,224,000
Driver's trip allowance₦250,000
Assistant (motor boy)₦80,000
Tolls, park fees and levies₦100,000
Tyre reserve₦150,000
Maintenance reserve₦200,000
Insurance and papers, share per trip₦50,000
Truck finance or depreciation, share per trip₦300,000
Total cost₦2,354,000

To earn a 20% margin on the price, divide cost by 0.8: ₦2,354,000 ÷ 0.8 = ₦2,942,500 for the trip. Per tonne, that is ₦98,083. Per tonne-kilometre (on the 900 km loaded distance), about ₦109.

The backhaul effect

If the truck finds a return load paying even ₦1,000,000, the outbound price can fall sharply while the trip still earns the same profit. This is why established hauliers build relationships at both ends of a route, and why a truck that waits a day for a return load can be better off than one that runs home empty.

Writing the contract

Disputes are far easier to avoid when the terms are written down before loading. A contract or waybill should state:

  1. Goods, weight, pickup and delivery points, and the delivery deadline.
  2. Price, and whether it is per trip, per tonne or per tonne-km.
  3. Who loads and offloads, and how many free waiting hours are allowed before demurrage starts.
  4. A fuel price clause: how the rate changes if diesel moves by more than an agreed amount.
  5. Who insures the goods in transit and the limit of the haulier's liability.
  6. Payment terms, including any advance for diesel.

When diesel moves

Because diesel is more than half of the cost in the example, a change in its price moves the whole quote. At ₦1,800 a litre instead of ₦1,700, the 720 litres cost ₦72,000 more, and the price needed for the same margin rises by ₦90,000 (₦72,000 ÷ 0.8). Long contracts should therefore link the rate to a fuel reference, reviewed monthly, rather than fixing it for a year.

Rules that affect cost

  • Speed limiters. The FRSC speed limiter portal names trucks, trailers and tankers among the commercial vehicles covered by its mandate.
  • Commercial licence. Drivers need the right licence class; the FRSC portal says commercial licences require a medical certificate.
  • Axle and load rules. Overloading damages roads and trucks and can be penalised; check current rules with the relevant agencies on your route.

What to check first

  • Your truck's real diesel consumption, loaded and empty.
  • Every toll and park fee on the route, from drivers who run it.
  • Whether a return load is available, and at what price.
  • Client creditworthiness: haulage clients often pay after delivery, while you pay for diesel upfront.
  • Insurance for both the truck and the goods.

Where Pryme fits

A haulier with a Pryme Business Account can send invoices through invoicing, pay drivers' trip allowances with bulk payouts, and let the Chief of Staff agent prepare a weekly summary of trips and receivables for a person to approve. To work out diesel per kilometre, see fuel cost per km.

Questions people ask

How do haulage companies charge in Nigeria?

By trip, by tonne or by tonne-kilometre, built from the full round-trip cost of diesel, crew, levies, tyres, maintenance, insurance and the truck, plus a margin.

How much does it cost to move a 30-tonne truck from Lagos to the North?

It depends on distance, diesel price, levies and whether there is a return load. In our labelled 900 km example the round trip costs ₦2.35 million and is quoted at about ₦2.94 million.

What is backhaul in haulage?

A return load carried on the way back. It earns money on a leg that would otherwise run empty, so it lets a haulier quote less for the outbound trip.

What insurance does a haulage truck need in Nigeria?

At least third-party motor insurance; NAICOM's 2023 rate for commercial trucks is ₦100,000 a year. Cover for the goods in transit is separate and should be agreed with the client.
