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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

Importing Nigerian foodstuff into Italy: what is allowed

For a shop or distributor in Italy: which Nigerian foods face EU bans or extra checks, the plant and animal rules, and the papers from the Nigerian side.

PE
Pryme editorialTrade desk, Rome · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Commercial imports of Nigerian food into Italy follow EU rules, applied at the Italian border by customs (Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli) and health inspectors. Dried beans from Nigeria are currently barred from entry under EU Regulation 2019/1793, and Nigerian sesame seeds face Salmonella checks on 50% of consignments. Plant products generally need a phytosanitary certificate, and foods of animal origin such as dried fish can enter only if the EU lists the country and the producer for that product.

Who sets the rules

Food entering Italy from Nigeria enters the EU, so the rules are mostly European. Italy's customs agency, the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM), clears the goods and collects duty and VAT; health and plant-health authorities carry out the official controls. For an African food shop or a distributor supplying shops, the question is product by product: some Nigerian staples move freely once paperwork is right, some face extra checks, and one is currently barred. Licensing the shop itself is covered in opening an African food shop in Italy.

Products with special EU measures

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 lists foods from particular countries that face increased checks or emergency measures. The consolidated text of 18 February 2026 includes two Nigerian entries:

ProductCN codesHazardMeasure
Dried beans0713 35 00, 0713 39 00, 0713 90 00Pesticide residuesAnnex IIa: member states shall prohibit entry (Art. 11a), including food for private use
Sesame seeds1207 40 90, ex 2008 19 19 49, ex 2008 19 99 49SalmonellaAnnex II: identity and physical checks on 50% of consignments

Egusi (melon seeds) does not appear as a Nigerian entry in the EU text, unlike the British version of the same regulation, which lists Nigerian egusi for aflatoxins. That does not mean egusi is unchecked: EU maximum levels for aflatoxins apply to all such foods, and a consignment that fails testing can be rejected. Ogbono, palm oil, garri and yam flour have no Nigerian entry in the EU text either; ordinary EU food law and controls still apply to them.

The beans ban in context

BusinessDay reported in June 2016 that the ban, imposed in 2015 after testing found dichlorvos residues between 0.03 and 4.6 mg/kg against an EU limit of 0.01 mg/kg, had been extended by three years; the consolidated regulation of February 2026 still carries the prohibition. Until the EU lifts it, a consignment of Nigerian brown or black-eyed beans cannot be lawfully placed on the Italian market, however well documented.

Plant products: the phytosanitary certificate

Most raw plant products (fresh produce, seeds, some dried produce) need a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country. In Nigeria that is issued by the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), whose site offers phytosanitary certificate applications, inspection and certification at seaports, ePhyto exchange, and online verification of certificates at verifyphyto.naqsportal.net. Fees are paid through Remita. Highly processed and packaged foods are generally outside plant-health checks, but check the specific product with your broker before you order.

Foods of animal origin

Stockfish, dried catfish, crayfish, meat and dairy are products of animal origin. Commercial consignments of these face EU official controls that go well beyond the luggage allowances, including certification and listing of the exporting country and producer; your customs broker can confirm exactly what applies to each product. We could not confirm, from sources opened for this guide, whether Nigeria and which Nigerian establishments are currently listed for fishery products. Before buying, ask the supplier for its EU approval number and check it on the EU lists, or ask your customs broker to do so. If there is no approval, the goods will not clear.

Duty, origin and the GSP

Nigeria is a beneficiary of the EU's standard Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP), according to the GSP Hub's Nigeria page (updated October 2026): duty is suspended on non-sensitive products and reduced on sensitive ones, covering about 66% of EU tariff lines, and food preparations and fish are among the leading Nigerian goods entering under it. To claim the preference, the Nigerian exporter must be registered in the EU's REX system and state origin on the shipping documents; Nigeria's trade portal lists REX registration among the export procedures. The rate for your product is in the EU TARIC database under its CN code with Nigeria as origin.

Labelling and selling in Italy

Clearing the border is only half the job. EU food information rules apply to pre-packed food sold in Italy, covering matters such as ingredients and allergens, and shoppers and inspectors will expect the information in Italian. Nigerian packs labelled only in English may need relabelling before sale. Check the exact requirements, including for loose products such as stockfish sold by weight, with your broker or a food-compliance adviser. Budget for this work, and for testing products with known risks, before you set retail prices.

  1. List each product with its CN code and check TARIC (origin: Nigeria) for duty, GSP preference and any 2019/1793 measure.
  2. Drop or replace anything barred, such as Nigerian dried beans.
  3. For animal products, confirm the producer's EU approval before paying.
  4. Ask the supplier for the NAQS phytosanitary certificate where needed, and a REX origin statement.
  5. Register your business for an EORI number and appoint an Italian customs broker.
  6. Arrange laboratory testing for products with aflatoxin risk, such as egusi and groundnuts.
  7. Pay the supplier only against documents you have checked.

The Nigerian exporter's side is covered in the Nigeria library: NEPC exporter registration and Form NXP.

Where Pryme fits

Paying Nigerian suppliers is part of the trade. A Pryme Business Account holds euro and naira, Swap shows the rate and fee before you approve, and invoicing keeps supplier records in one place. Pryme does not clear customs; this is information, not legal advice.

Questions people ask

Can I import Nigerian beans into Italy?

Not at present. EU Regulation 2019/1793 requires member states to prohibit entry of dried beans from Nigeria because of pesticide residues, including food for private use.

Is egusi banned in the EU?

No Nigerian egusi entry appears in the EU's 2019/1793 text as consolidated in February 2026, but EU aflatoxin limits apply and consignments can be tested and rejected.

Do I need a phytosanitary certificate for Nigerian foodstuff?

For most raw plant products, yes. NAQS issues them in Nigeria; processed and packaged foods are generally outside plant-health checks.

Can I import stockfish or dried fish from Nigeria commercially?

Only if the EU approves the country and the producing establishment for fishery products and the goods enter through a border control post with a health certificate. Check the approval before buying.
