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.

Eva waits for your rate and asks before she moves anything.
No card, no OTP, nothing for the buyer to type in. They transfer from the bank app they already use, and the money lands in the same account your agents are running — already matched to the order, already in your books.
We give the buyer a one-time account number. They transfer to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in.

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.

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.

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.

Every channel IBEDC lists for buying a prepaid token in Ilorin, how to check your receipt, how many units your money buys, and what to do if it fails.
You can buy an IBEDC prepaid token in Ilorin through IBEDC's own website, bank apps, USSD, third-party vending platforms that IBEDC links to (iRecharge, Quickteller and BuyPower), IBEDC payment agents in the Kwara region, or an IBEDC payment office. Whichever channel you use, check the meter number and name before paying, keep the token and receipt, and verify a doubtful receipt on IBEDC's payment receipt verification page.
Most failed purchases come from the wrong meter number or the wrong service type. Every channel asks for your meter number and whether you are prepaid or postpaid. Good channels then show the customer name and address on the meter before you pay. If the name shown is not yours or your landlord's, stop: you are about to buy units for someone else's meter.
Also know your band. Units per naira depend on the tariff for your feeder, which you can look up on IBEDC's Customer Feeder Info page using your meter number; our guide to IBEDC bands in Ilorin explains how.
| Channel | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| IBEDC website | Make Payment or Pay Now on ibedc.com; pay by card or transfer | Paying from a laptop or phone browser |
| Customer portal | customer.ibedc.com for account details | Checking your account |
| Bank apps | Most banks have an electricity or bills menu; choose IBEDC | People who bank on their phone |
| USSD | IBEDC lists USSD as a channel; the code depends on your bank | Feature phones and no data |
| iRecharge, Quickteller, BuyPower | Linked from IBEDC's payments page | Comparing service charges and history |
| Payment agents | IBEDC lists agents by region, including Kwara | Cash buyers |
| Payment offices | Listed at ibedc.com/offices | Problems that need a person |
IBEDC's payments page does not publish a fee for each channel. Vendors and banks may add a service charge; the screen should show it before you confirm, and the receipt should show the amount that went to energy.
If the meter rejects the token, do not buy another one straight away. Check that you typed it correctly and that the token was issued for your meter number. Our guide to electricity tokens that will not load explains the common error causes, including meters that need key change tokens; IBEDC's metering page links to a Customer KCT Generator.
Your units are roughly the amount that goes to energy divided by your band's tariff. Using the tariffs in NERC's July 2025 order for IBEDC (non-maximum-demand customers):
| Example spend | Band A (₦209.50/kWh) | Band B (₦67.25/kWh) |
|---|---|---|
| ₦5,000 | about 23.9 kWh | about 74.3 kWh |
| ₦10,000 | about 47.7 kWh | about 148.7 kWh |
| ₦20,000 | about 95.5 kWh | about 297.4 kWh |
These are labelled examples. Any VAT, service charge or outstanding debt on the meter reduces the units. Check your receipt for the exact figure, and check NERC's site for any newer tariff order.
Families often buy tokens for parents or relatives in Ilorin from another city or from abroad. The process is the same: you need their meter number, and the name shown on screen should match their address. Save the meter number under the person's name in the app you use, so you do not retype it each time, and send them the token by text straight after buying. If the meter is in a shared compound with several meters, confirm which number belongs to which flat; landlords sometimes swap meters during repairs.
If you are on a postpaid account, you are paying a bill rather than buying a token. Use the same channels but choose postpaid and enter your account number, not a meter number. The payment reduces your outstanding balance; nothing is typed into a meter. Keep the receipt to match against your next bill, and see our guide to estimated electricity bills if the amount looks wrong.
Buy only through IBEDC's site, your bank, the platforms IBEDC lists, or an agent you know. Be wary of people on social media selling tokens at a discount: a token sold below the tariff is either stolen, for another meter, or never arrives. Never share your bank card details with a token seller.
IBEDC tokens can be bought in the Pryme app through electricity bill payments, with each purchase kept in your history. A Personal Assistant can remind you when you usually top up and prepare the payment for you to approve.
On IBEDC's website (Make Payment or Pay Now), in your bank app, or on platforms IBEDC links to such as iRecharge, Quickteller and BuyPower.
IBEDC lists 0700 123 9999, along with 09155009999, 08055009999, 09062029009 and 09062039009, on its website.
At the July 2025 Band A tariff of ₦209.50 per kWh, about 47.7 kWh; at Band B's ₦67.25, about 148.7 kWh, before any charges or debt.
Check SMS, email and the vendor's history, verify the payment on IBEDC's receipt verification page, then contact the vendor or IBEDC with your receipt.
