2016E-commerce

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.

2018OjirehPrime Card

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.

2020Microfinance bank

PrymeSolid Allianze acquired — an existing bank with an existing licence. The perimeter stopped being someone else’s to draw.

2023Multicurrency

More than one currency on one balance, and the rebrand to Pryme. A Nigerian business could hold dollars without holding a second institution.

2026Agentic operations

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.

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.

How to buy NGX stocks on Hisa (formerly Chaka)

Hisa replaced the Chaka app in 2026. How to sign up, verify, fund and buy Nigerian Exchange shares, what it charges and what to check first.

PE
Pryme editorialSavings & investing desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer

Hisa is the stock trading app from Chaka Technologies Limited and replaced the earlier Chaka app in April 2026. To buy NGX shares you download Hisa, sign up with your email and nationality, verify with an ID and a selfie, fund your naira wallet and place an order; Hisa's site says you can start from $1 and that it charges a flat 1% on trades, while a promotion reported in October 2026 waives commission for new users until the end of the year.

What Hisa is, and how it relates to Chaka

Many Nigerians still search for Chaka, the investment app that, according to Techpoint Africa, received Nigeria's first digital stock trading licence in 2021 and was acquired by Risevest in September 2023. In October 2026 Nairametrics reported that Hisa is the stock trading app from Chaka Technologies Limited, launched in April 2026, and that it replaced the earlier Chaka app with a simpler interface. The same report describes Chaka as the first SEC-licensed digital sub-broker in Nigeria and says Hisa's Nigerian equities trading runs under that licence.

Hisa's own website names the route your order takes. Nigerian equities trading is "facilitated by Chaka Technologies Limited" as a sub-broker, "through Citi Investment Capital Limited, a dealing member of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX)". In plain terms, Chaka passes your order to a licensed NGX dealing member, which executes it on the exchange. The site also lists Kenyan and US markets, which are served through other licensed partners. Note that the copyright line on the site reads "Hisa Inc", so the brand and the Nigerian licensed entity are not the same company name.

Steps to buy your first NGX share on Hisa

These steps follow what Hisa's website and the October 2026 Nairametrics report describe. Screens can change between app versions, so treat the wording of buttons as approximate.

  1. Download Hisa from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or start at hisa.co.
  2. Sign up with your email address and select your nationality.
  3. Complete verification. Hisa says you will need to submit your ID and a selfie, which it uses to meet regulatory requirements and secure the account.
  4. Fund your wallet. Hisa says Nigerian stocks are tradable from a local-currency (naira) wallet or a USD wallet. The site does not list deposit methods, so check the funding options shown in the app and any charge before you pay in.
  5. Search for the company by name or ticker, choose the amount you want to invest, review the order summary (price, quantity, fee) and confirm.
  6. Check your portfolio screen once the order is filled. NGX trades are executed during market hours, so an order placed outside them waits for the market to open.

The CSCS question

Shares listed on the NGX are held electronically in a central depository, and Nigerian investors usually hear this described as their CSCS account. Older guides to Chaka often walked readers through getting a CSCS number. Neither Hisa's website nor the Nairametrics report mentions CSCS at all, so we could not confirm whether Hisa opens a CSCS account in your own name, how long that takes, or whether your shares are held in a pooled arrangement through the dealing member.

This matters if you ever want to move your shares to another broker or receive dividends and bonus shares directly. Before you invest a meaningful sum, ask Hisa support (hello@hisa.co or support@hisa.co, per its website) three things: whether a CSCS account is created in your name, what the number is, and how a transfer of shares out of Hisa works.

Minimum amount and fees

ItemWhat the source saysSource and date
Minimum"You can start with as little as $1 for both global and local stocks"Hisa website, Oct 2026
Fractional sharesOffered; a beginner can start with $1, described as less than ₦1,500Nairametrics, 7 Oct 2026
Trading fee"Hisa charges a flat 1% fee on all trades across all markets and asset types"Hisa website, Oct 2026
PromotionNew users who join before the end of the year pay zero commission on buys and sells in Nigeria and the US; after it ends, new users still get their first three trades commission-freeNairametrics, 7 Oct 2026
Withdrawals"Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours" to a mobile money or bank destinationHisa website, Oct 2026

The two sources describe the fee differently because one is the standing price and the other is a time-limited offer. The order screen in the app is the place to confirm which applies to you on the day you trade. Exchange and regulatory charges on NGX trades are not mentioned on either page, so look for them on your trade confirmation.

Worked example (example only)

Example only. Ngozi invests ₦50,000 in a listed bank share. At the standing 1% fee, the fee is ₦500 on the buy, so ₦49,500 goes into shares. If she later sells when the holding is worth ₦60,000, a 1% fee on the sale is ₦600 and she receives ₦59,400. Her gain before any other charges is ₦59,400 − ₦50,000 = ₦9,400, not the ₦10,000 the price move suggests. Under the promotion described by Nairametrics, the ₦1,100 in fees would not apply to her trades while it lasts.

What to check first

  • That the app you download is Hisa from Chaka Technologies Limited, and that you are using the official store listing.
  • The fee line on your order screen, and whether the end-of-year promotion covers your account.
  • Whether a CSCS account is opened in your name (ask support; it is not explained on the website).
  • How dividends are paid to you and in which wallet they land.
  • Withdrawal destination: Hisa says it pays to mobile money or a bank, processed within 24 hours.

Shares can fall as well as rise, and a stock app is not a savings account. If you are building an emergency fund first, our guide to money market funds in Nigeria covers a lower-risk option, and how to spot investment scams explains the warning signs of fake trading platforms. Hisa says it does not provide investment advice, and nothing here is advice either.

Questions people ask

Is Chaka now Hisa?

Nairametrics reported in October 2026 that Hisa is the stock trading app from Chaka Technologies Limited and replaced the earlier Chaka app in April 2026. Nigerian trades run under Chaka's SEC digital sub-broker licence.

What is the minimum to buy Nigerian stocks on Hisa?

Hisa's website says you can start with as little as $1 for both local and global stocks, using fractional investing.

How much does Hisa charge per trade?

Its website states a flat 1% fee on all trades. A promotion reported in October 2026 gives new users who join before the end of the year zero commission, and the first three trades free after that. Check the order screen.

Do I need a CSCS account to use Hisa?

Hisa's pages do not mention CSCS. Ask its support team whether a CSCS account is opened in your name before investing a large amount.
