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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

LAWMA registration for businesses: PSP and charges

Businesses in Lagos pay for waste collection through an assigned PSP operator, not a flat LAWMA rate. How registration works and how charges are set.

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

In Lagos, commercial waste is collected by private sector participant (PSP) operators licensed by LAWMA, and a business pays the PSP assigned to its area; since a 2017 state directive, payments go to PSP operators rather than to LAWMA itself. LAWMA's finance director has said there is no uniform tariff across Lagos, so charges depend on the area's billing category and the volume and type of waste; we could not find a published commercial rate card as at October 2026.

How waste collection is organised in Lagos

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) regulates waste collection and disposal across the state. Day-to-day collection from homes and most businesses is done by private sector participant (PSP) operators, companies licensed by LAWMA to serve particular areas. LAWMA's website lists commercial waste services among its responsibilities and publishes a directory of domestic and commercial PSP operators, a separate directory for healthcare and medical waste operators, and a PSP operational map.

Who receives the money has changed over time. In January 2017 the state directed that LAWMA stop collecting waste bills and that 100% of payments go to PSP operators, replacing an earlier split in which LAWMA took 40% and PSPs 60%, as reported by THEWILL. The same report said LAWMA would issue bills to commercial outfits when it collected their waste. For most shops, offices and restaurants, the practical relationship is with the assigned PSP.

Steps: registering a business for waste collection

There is no single LAWMA "business registration" form that applies to every premises. The route that works in practice is:

  1. Find the PSP operator assigned to your street or estate using LAWMA's commercial PSP directory or operational map on lawma.gov.ng, or by asking neighbouring businesses who collects their waste.
  2. Contact the PSP and ask to be registered as a commercial customer at your address. Give the business name, the premises address, the type of business and the waste you expect to produce.
  3. Agree the collection frequency and the bins or containers you need. LAWMA's finance director has said buildings must buy their own bin.
  4. Get the monthly charge in writing, with the account details for payment.
  5. Pay through the channel the PSP or LAWMA provides and keep every receipt.
  6. If you produce clinical, hazardous or large-volume waste, contact LAWMA directly; healthcare waste has its own PSP directory.

Specialist waste

Clinics, pharmacies and laboratories must use a healthcare waste operator from LAWMA's dedicated directory, not a general PSP. Restaurants and bars should also check environmental rules on used cooking oil and e-waste: LASEPA's hospitality checklist says these go through accredited collectors.

How charges are set

LAWMA has not published a commercial rate card that we could find as at October 2026. What has been said publicly:

  • LAWMA's Executive Director of Finance, Kunle Adebiyi, told The Guardian in August 2023 that there is "no uniform tariff across all areas", with four billing categories: premium, high, medium and low income areas. Some areas were free under subsidy.
  • Residents interviewed in the same report gave household figures for one Isolo street, which are not business rates.
  • The PSP operator, not LAWMA, usually tells a business its monthly charge, based on area, frequency and volume.

Worked example

Example only, with invented figures. A small restaurant in a medium-income area agrees collection twice a week at ₦12,000 a month. Over a year that is 12 × ₦12,000 = ₦144,000. If it moves to daily collection at ₦25,000 a month, the annual cost becomes ₦300,000, an extra ₦156,000. Asking for a written quote for each frequency lets you choose before you commit.

Paying and proving you paid

LAWMA's website lists two online payment routes, lawmapay.com and a Paycube vendor page. A February 2025 report by Ripples Nigeria described lawmapay.com as dormant and said many PSPs had no digital platform, with bank transfers validated at their offices; check which route your PSP accepts.

Proof of payment matters more now. Prime Business Africa reported in February 2026 that Lagos had begun "Show Your PSP Payment Receipt" checks in Apapa and Iganmu. Keep receipts for at least the current and previous year at the premises.

What to check first

  • Which PSP is assigned to your street, and is it on LAWMA's directory?
  • How often will waste be collected, and on which days?
  • What is the monthly charge in writing, and what does it include?
  • Which payment channel does the PSP accept, and what receipt does it give?
  • Do you produce healthcare, hazardous, used-oil or e-waste that needs a specialist collector?

If a PSP misses collections or charges more than agreed, raise it in writing with the PSP first and keep the date. If that fails, contact LAWMA through the hotline or email above with your address, the PSP's name and copies of your receipts.

Where Pryme fits

A monthly PSP charge is a predictable bill. A Pryme Business Account can pay it by transfer with a reference, and the Finance agent can prepare the payment each month for a person to approve. You can generate a verifiable statement through VerifyDoc.ai if an inspector asks for proof (receipts).

Questions people ask

Do businesses in Lagos pay LAWMA directly?

Usually not. Since a 2017 directive, waste bills are paid to the PSP operator assigned to your area; LAWMA licenses and regulates the PSPs.

How much is LAWMA bill for a shop?

There is no single published commercial rate. LAWMA has said tariffs vary by area category; your PSP quotes a monthly charge based on area, frequency and volume.

How do I find my PSP in Lagos?

Use the commercial PSP directory or operational map on lawma.gov.ng, or ask neighbouring businesses which operator collects their waste.

Who collects hospital or clinic waste in Lagos?

A healthcare and medical waste operator from LAWMA's separate directory, not a general PSP.
