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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

Grid vs generator in Ikeja Electric area: cost per kWh

A worked, labelled example comparing the cost per kWh of Ikeja Electric grid supply with a petrol generator, and how to run the sum with your own figures.

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

Divide the petrol price per litre by the units your generator produces per litre, then add servicing, and you have its cost per kWh to set against your Ikeja Electric tariff. In our labelled example, a petrol generator works out at about ₦1,050 per kWh against ₦206.80 for Band A grid power, the last Ikeja Electric Band A figure we could source (May 2024), so grid power is about a fifth of the cost. Check today's tariff and pump price before relying on the comparison.

The two numbers you need

Comparing a generator with the grid only works if both are in the same unit: naira per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Your token receipt or bill tells you how many kWh you bought for your money. For a generator, you have to work it out.

Grid cost per kWh
Your Ikeja Electric tariff for your band and class, as shown on your receipt or bill
Generator fuel cost per kWh
Petrol price per litre divided by kWh produced per litre
Generator running cost per kWh
Servicing, oil, repairs and replacement parts, spread over the kWh produced

What grid power costs on Ikeja Electric

Tariffs depend on your band. Ikeja Electric cut its Band A tariff from ₦225/kWh to ₦206.80/kWh with effect from 6 May 2024 under NERC's May 2024 supplementary order, according to Daily Trust, with guaranteed availability stated as 20 to 24 hours a day; Bands B to E were left unchanged in that review. The ₦225 figure itself came from NERC's April 2024 supplementary order. NERC has since issued a document titled "IE MYTO SEPTEMBER 2026", dated 2 September 2026, and Lagos regulation has passed to LASERC, so the current figure may differ. Check your latest token receipt, which shows units for the amount paid, or our page on the Ikeja Electric tariff today.

Worked example: a petrol generator

All generator figures below are assumptions for the example, not market prices. Replace them with your own.

ItemExample figureHow it is worked out
Petrol price₦1,000 per litreAssumed; check your pump price
Output per litre1.25 kWhAssumed for a small generator at moderate load
Fuel cost per kWh₦8001,000 divided by 1.25
Servicing per month₦15,000Assumed: oil, plugs, filters, repairs
Generator use per month60 kWhAssumed
Servicing per kWh₦25015,000 divided by 60
Total generator cost per kWh₦1,050800 plus 250

Against a Band A grid tariff of ₦206.80 per kWh (May 2024 figure), the generator costs about 5.1 times as much per unit (1,050 divided by 206.80 is 5.08). For the 60 kWh in the example, that is ₦63,000 on the generator against ₦12,408 on the grid (60 times 206.80).

How sensitive the answer is to fuel price

Petrol price (example)Fuel cost per kWh at 1.25 kWh per litre
₦800 per litre₦640
₦1,000 per litre₦800
₦1,200 per litre₦960

Output per litre matters as much as the pump price. A generator run at a very light load, such as one fan and a phone charger, produces far fewer kWh per litre than one at a moderate load, so its cost per kWh can be much higher than the example.

Steps: working out your own figures

  1. Fill the tank to a mark and note the litres.
  2. Run your usual load and note the hours until you refill to the same mark.
  3. Estimate the kWh: add up the wattage of what was running, multiply by the hours, and divide by 1,000.
  4. Divide kWh by litres to get kWh per litre.
  5. Divide the pump price by kWh per litre to get fuel cost per kWh.
  6. Add your monthly servicing divided by the kWh you produce in a month.
  7. Compare with the units per naira on your latest Ikeja Electric receipt.

Costs the per-kWh figure leaves out

The calculation above covers fuel and servicing. A full comparison would also count the cost of buying the generator, spread over the years you expect it to last, and the time spent queueing for fuel or arranging repairs. On the grid side, add any VAT and charges shown on your receipt, and remember that a token buys units only when there is supply; if your feeder is off for long periods, the grid's low unit price does not help you during those hours.

  • Generator purchase price divided by expected life in months, then by kWh per month.
  • Fuel bought in jerrycans at a mark-up when stations run short.
  • Noise and fumes, which matter to neighbours in a block of flats.
  • On the grid side, the VAT line on your receipt; see VAT on Ikeja Electric tokens.

When a generator still makes sense

  • As backup during outages, where the alternative is no power at all.
  • On lower bands with long outages, where you cannot rely on grid hours.
  • For short, heavy loads that a small solar or inverter system cannot carry.

If you want an alternative backup, see what solar for a flat costs. Our Lagos electricity budget guide combines grid and backup in one plan. Run generators outdoors, away from windows and doors, because exhaust fumes can kill.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme cannot change what power costs, but it can help you see it. Buying tokens through electricity bills in the Pryme app keeps a record of units and spend, and a Fixed or Flexible Savings Box can hold money set aside for fuel or a backup system.

Questions people ask

Is generator cheaper than NEPA light in Lagos?

Usually not per kWh. In our labelled example a petrol generator costs about ₦1,050 per kWh against ₦206.80 for Ikeja Electric Band A (May 2024 figure).

How do I calculate generator cost per kWh?

Divide the petrol price per litre by the kWh the generator produces per litre, then add servicing divided by the kWh produced.

What is Ikeja Electric Band A tariff now?

The last figure we could source was ₦206.80/kWh from 6 May 2024. NERC has issued an IE document dated 2 September 2026, so check your receipt for the current rate.

Why does my small generator use so much fuel for little power?

At very light loads a generator produces few kWh per litre, which raises its cost per unit.
