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

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.

Is PalmPay CashBox safe? Who holds the money

PalmPay is a CBN-licensed mobile money operator and says every deposit is NDIC-insured. What that cover means for CashBox, and what PalmPay does not say.

PE
Pryme editorialSavings & investing desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

PalmPay Limited describes itself as fully licensed and regulated by the CBN as a mobile money operator, and says every deposit on PalmPay is insured by the NDIC. For mobile money operators, the NDIC's pass-through cover was raised to ₦5 million per customer in 2024. PalmPay's listings do not say which bank holds CashBox funds or whether CashBox balances are invested, so ask PalmPay which cover applies to your CashBox balance.

PalmPay's licence

PalmPay's Google Play listing, updated 24 September 2026, says the company is "fully licensed and regulated as a Mobile Money Operator by the Central Bank of Nigeria", and names the developer as PalmPay Limited. A September 2026 Nairametrics report on PalmPay's new security features described it as CBN-licensed with eligible deposits insured by the NDIC, and said the PalmPay group was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Hong Kong.

A mobile money operator, or MMO, is licensed to run wallets and payments. It is not a bank. That distinction matters for savings, because the rules for what protects your balance differ from those for a bank account. If you want to understand the licence types, our explainer on NDIC cover for fintech wallets walks through each.

What "insured by the NDIC" means for an MMO

PalmPay's listing says: "Every Deposit made on PalmPay is insured by the NDIC." It does not name the bank where funds are held. For mobile money operators, the NDIC uses pass-through deposit insurance: customer money is held in accounts at banks, and the NDIC insures each customer's share of those funds. Arise News reported that when the NDIC raised its limits on 3 May 2024, MMO pass-through cover went to ₦5,000,000. Nairametrics' July 2024 list of 18 NDIC-insured mobile money operators included PalmPay and gave the same ₦5 million figure.

Where CashBox fits in

CashBox is PalmPay's flexible savings wallet. TechCabal's November 2025 comparison described CashBox as flexible, with no penalty mentioned for withdrawals, and listed it alongside SmartEarn, Target Savings and Spend and Save. PalmPay's Google Play listing calls CashBox a savings wallet. Neither source says how the CashBox balance is used to earn interest.

That leaves two possibilities, and the protection differs. If CashBox is simply your PalmPay balance in a separate pocket, held in pooled accounts at banks, the pass-through cover described above would apply. If CashBox money is placed with a fund manager to earn a market return, that portion would be an investment regulated by the SEC rather than an insured deposit. We have not seen PalmPay state either on the pages we checked, so this is a question to put to PalmPay directly.

Worked example (example only)

Example only. Yusuf holds ₦1,200,000 in CashBox and ₦300,000 in his main PalmPay wallet. If both count as MMO balances under pass-through cover, his ₦1,500,000 total is within the ₦5,000,000 limit. If instead the CashBox balance were invested in a fund, only the ₦300,000 wallet balance would be under NDIC cover, and the ₦1,200,000 would depend on the fund. The amount at stake is the same; the protection is not.

Why PalmPay's wording leaves a gap

"Every deposit is insured" is a fair summary of how pass-through cover works for wallet balances, but savings products inside a wallet app are not always wallet balances. Some apps keep savings at a partner microfinance bank, where the ₦2,000,000 MFB limit would apply instead of the ₦5,000,000 MMO figure. Others place savings with an asset manager. PalmPay's loans, for comparison, are stated on its Google Play listing to be powered by a named microfinance bank, which shows the company does work with partner banks for some products. For CashBox, no such partner is named.

None of this suggests CashBox is unsafe. It means the precise protection is not on the public record, and a saver with a large balance is entitled to ask.

The everyday risks are different

Institutional failure is rare. The losses people meet more often come from account takeover and scams. PalmPay's own security tools, as described in the September 2026 Nairametrics report, include a Security Center, Location Guard with up to six trusted locations, NightGuard, an in-app dispute page, and codes to lock your account (*861*12#) or card (*861*7*5#). Turn these on before you build up a large CashBox balance.

What to check first

  1. Ask PalmPay in-app support whether your CashBox balance is a pass-through MMO balance or an investment, and which bank or fund holds it.
  2. Ask which NDIC limit applies to your combined wallet and CashBox balance.
  3. Read the CashBox terms in the app, including how interest is earned.
  4. Switch on NightGuard and Location Guard, and save the account lock code in your phone.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme Financial is not a bank or an MMO. Its naira deposits, including the money in Flexible and Fixed Savings Boxes, are held by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Ltd, licensed by the CBN and insured by the NDIC up to the applicable limit.

Questions people ask

Is PalmPay CashBox insured by NDIC?

PalmPay says every deposit on PalmPay is insured by the NDIC. Whether your CashBox balance counts as an insured MMO balance or an investment is not stated on its listings. Ask PalmPay which cover applies.

Who holds PalmPay money?

PalmPay is licensed by the CBN as a mobile money operator. Its listings do not name the bank where customer funds are held.

How much does NDIC cover on PalmPay?

Reports of the May 2024 NDIC increase put pass-through cover for mobile money operator customers at ₦5,000,000 per customer.

Is PalmPay a bank?

No. PalmPay describes itself as a mobile money operator licensed and regulated by the CBN.
