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.

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.

Lendigo in Nigeria: what we could and could not confirm about its licence, the FCCPC approvals page in October 2026, and how to check it yourself.
Lendigo is a Nigerian lender focused mainly on business and personal loans, but we could not confirm its licence category from an official record within this review, and the FCCPC digital lender approvals page we read in October 2026 had no entry named Lendigo. Before borrowing, ask Lendigo for its registered company name and licence, check that name on the CBN's lists and the CAC search, and make sure your app is not a lookalike such as Lendify or Lendex.
The question in the title matters more than it seems. In Nigeria a lender can be a commercial bank, a microfinance bank, a CBN-licensed finance company, a state-licensed money lender or a non-bank digital lender registered with the FCCPC. Each type has different rules on what it may do with your money and different places to complain. Lendigo is mostly discussed as a lender to small businesses and salaried individuals, offering loans with longer terms than the typical 30-day app loan, though we have not verified its current product range.
Because we did not open a CBN record for Lendigo during this review, this article does not say which category it falls into. It gives you the steps to find out, which takes less time than reading a loan agreement.
The FCCPC publishes the companies and apps it has approved under its digital lending framework. The page metadata showed a last update on 3 March 2026 when we read it in October 2026. We found no company or app called Lendigo. Names that a quick search might confuse with it did appear, all belonging to other companies:
If Lendigo lends mainly to businesses, or under a CBN licence, it may not appear on a list built for consumer digital lending. That is a reason to ask, not a reason to assume.
Business loans from non-bank lenders often carry more than one charge. Read the offer for each of these:
| Charge | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Interest | Is it flat on the original amount or on the reducing balance? Per month or per year? |
| Management or processing fee | Is it deducted from the amount you receive? |
| Insurance | Is it compulsory, and what does it cover? |
| Late charge | Is it a one-off or does it accrue daily? |
| Collateral or guarantor | What happens to it if you miss a payment? |
Worked example with invented figures, not Lendigo's terms: a ₦1,000,000 business loan over 6 months at 3.5% flat per month costs ₦35,000 interest a month, ₦210,000 in all. With a 1.5% fee (₦15,000) deducted upfront, you receive ₦985,000 and repay ₦1,210,000, so the total charge is ₦225,000. Monthly repayments would be about ₦201,667.
If you have already paid a fee to an impersonator, see what to do when a loan app asks for a fee first.
If you are borrowing for a business, the lender will usually ask for the business account statement, CAC documents and sometimes a personal guarantee from the owner. A personal guarantee means that if the business cannot pay, you are personally liable. Read that page carefully; it changes a business loan into something that can affect your own credit record and assets.
If you are borrowing as an individual, ask whether the loan is reported to credit bureaus in your name and whether repayments are taken by direct debit or card. Either way, ask for the full repayment schedule before you sign and check that the instalments add up to the total stated. For a guide to preparing documents, see financial statements for a loan application.
If Lendigo cannot or will not give you a registered company name and licence, or the details you receive do not match the CAC and CBN records, do not proceed. A legitimate lender expects this question and answers it in writing. Keep any messages you received, and if someone has taken money from you, report it to your bank immediately and to the police with the transfer details.
Verification is a one-off task. Once you have matched the company name, licence and contact details, save them, and use only those details for every later payment or query.
For business owners, a Pryme Business Account includes invoicing, payroll and finance agents, and businesses in supported sectors can join Spaces. Pryme itself does not lend; see Spaces.
We could not confirm Lendigo's licence from an official record in this review. Ask for its registered name and licence, then check the CBN lists and the CAC search.
Lendigo was not on the FCCPC approvals page under that name in October 2026. It may operate under a CBN licence or another company name; ask and check.
No. The FCCPC list shows the Lendify app under Econova Technology Limited, a different company.
Lendigo is mostly discussed as a business and personal lender. Check its current products on its official website before applying.
