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.

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.

What we could and could not confirm about Kuda’s UK money transfer service in October 2026, how its rate was shown, and what to check before sending.
Kuda launched a UK app for sending pounds to Nigeria in 2022, but in October 2026 Kuda’s own website shows only its Nigerian banking product and its UK help page no longer loads, so the current UK service, fee and limits are unconfirmed. If you already have the UK app, the naira amount and fee shown in it before you confirm are the figures that count.
Many Nigerians in the UK still search for “Kuda UK” because Kuda marketed a UK money app when it launched there. We checked Kuda’s own pages in October 2026. The kuda.com en-gb page describes Kuda Microfinance Bank, licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria as a national microfinance bank, with naira fees and Lagos and Abuja offices; it has no UK sending content. Kuda’s May 2026 blog post on the best ways to send money from the UK to Nigeria lists other options and mentions only that Kuda’s multicurrency wallet can send GBP or EUR to other Kuda users. A Kuda UK FAQ address that earlier writers cited now returns an error.
That does not prove the UK app has closed. It does mean we cannot confirm current steps, fees or limits from Kuda itself, and we will not print figures from older press coverage as if they were current.
Finder UK’s review of Kuda (updated 7 October 2025) said the UK app needed a UK address and UK identity, that Kuda acted as a distributor of an FCA-authorised electronic money institution, that balances were not FSCS protected, and gave a UK support address. Press reports at the 2022 launch quoted a flat fee and a maximum transfer; those launch figures are more than three years old and Kuda’s own pages no longer show them, so treat them as history.
Kuda, like other senders, quotes a customer rate that includes its margin over the mid-market rate. The rate changes through the day, which is why this page gives no number. To judge the quote, divide the naira received by the total pounds you pay, fee included; that gives your effective rate. Compare it with the mid-market rate at the same time. Our explainer on why rates differ between banks and apps goes further.
You pay £200 and a £2 fee, so £202 in total, and the recipient gets 396,000 naira. Your effective rate is 396,000 ÷ 202 = about 1,960 naira per pound. If the mid-market rate at that moment were 2,000, the all-in cost is roughly 2%. The numbers are invented to show the method.
If your app no longer offers UK sending, the money you hold is still yours. Ask Kuda in writing how to withdraw any pound balance to your UK bank account, and keep the reply. Do not send new money into an app until you know it can move it on. When you pick another route, compare like with like: the same amount, the same payout method and the same moment, and look at the naira received rather than the advertised fee. Check how you will pay, too, because paying by credit card can add charges; see paying for a transfer by credit card. If your recipient banks with Kuda in Nigeria, nothing changes for them: any route that pays Nigerian bank accounts can still reach their Kuda account number.
A separate question is sending to a Kuda Nigeria account from any UK provider. Kuda MFB accounts have ten-digit account numbers like any Nigerian bank, so a provider that pays out to Nigerian bank accounts can usually credit them. The Central Bank of Nigeria’s rules require licensed money transfer operators to pay out in naira, so the recipient sees naira, not pounds. See sending to OPay or PalmPay from the UK for the similar question with wallets.
If you want one place to hold pounds and naira, a Pryme account can be opened from the UK and holds GBP, NGN, USD and EUR with local details for each. You convert only when you choose with Swap, and the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Details on sending with Pryme.
We could not confirm it. In October 2026 Kuda’s website shows only its Nigerian product and an old UK help page no longer loads. If you have the app, check inside it or contact Kuda before sending.
Kuda’s own pages no longer publish a UK fee. A flat fee was reported at launch in 2022, but that is not a current figure. The app shows any fee before you confirm.
Usually yes, through any UK provider that pays to Nigerian bank accounts, because Kuda MFB accounts use standard ten-digit account numbers. The money arrives in naira.
Finder UK’s October 2025 review said it was not, because the service ran through an e-money institution. E-money firms must safeguard customer funds instead.
