Ten years, one trunk

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.

2016E-commerce

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.

2018OjirehPrime Card

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

PrymeSolid Allianze acquired — an existing bank with an existing licence. The perimeter stopped being someone else’s to draw.

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.

Loan app harassment in Nigeria: your rights and how to report it

What a loan app may and may not do to recover a debt in Nigeria, the evidence to keep, and how to report harassment to the FCCPC, NDPC, police and Google.

PE
Pryme editorialSafety · 16 Oct 2026 · 5 min read

Part of the guideCredit without a loan form: loan apps, BNPL and Spaces

The short answer

A loan app in Nigeria may remind you to repay and pursue what you owe under your agreement, but it may not read your contacts, message your family or employer, publish your photo, or threaten you. Keep screenshots, repay only what the agreement says to the lender's official account, then report the app to the FCCPC through its complaints portal and to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission for data misuse. Threats of violence go to the police.

Owing money does not remove your rights. Nigeria's digital lending rules and data protection law both limit how a lender can recover a debt, and regulators have acted against lenders who crossed the line. This article sets out where that line is and what to do if an app has crossed it. For how loan apps fit alongside BNPL, salary advances and overdrafts, see our guide to everyday credit in Nigeria.

What a lender may and may not do

A lender is entitled to be repaid on the terms you agreed. It may send reminders, call you at reasonable times, charge the late fees written in your agreement, and report a missed payment to a credit bureau if it shares data with one. Under the 2025 DEON Regulations, recovery methods must be written into the loan agreement, and registered lenders sign a declaration that their recovery practices will be consistent with fair lending principles.

Some things are off limits whatever you owe:

  • Reading your phone. Lenders registered with the FCCPC must declare that their apps will not access your call logs, contacts or photo gallery. Google Play's policy also bars personal loan apps from requesting that access.
  • Contacting people in your phonebook. Using your contacts to shame you is a misuse of personal data under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. In 2021 the data regulator fined one lender ₦10 million for messaging borrowers' contacts.
  • Defamation and edited images. Calling you a thief or fraudster to others, or circulating doctored photos, can expose the lender to civil and criminal claims.
  • Threats. Threats of arrest, violence or exposure are not a recovery method. A lender cannot have you arrested for an unpaid personal loan by sending a message.
  • Charges not in the agreement. The lender can only collect what the agreement allows. Costs must be disclosed before the transaction is completed.

A worked example: what you actually owe

Harassment often comes with an inflated demand. Suppose you borrowed ₦30,000 for 14 days and the agreement you accepted said you would repay ₦34,500, with a late fee of ₦1,500 a week. You repay ten days late. The app now demands ₦52,000 and says the extra is "recovery charges".

ItemAgreementApp's demand
Amount borrowed₦30,000₦30,000
Agreed repayment₦34,500₦34,500
Late fees (2 weeks or part)₦3,000₦3,000
"Recovery charges"Not in agreement₦14,500
Total₦37,500₦52,000

You owe ₦37,500. Pay that to the lender's official company account, keep the receipt, and put your reasons in writing. If the agreement is silent on a charge, it should not be on your bill. Our explainer on APR and flat fees shows how to read the cost section of a loan agreement.

What to do in the first 24 hours

  1. Do not panic-borrow. Taking a new loan from another app to silence the first one is how one debt becomes three.
  2. Collect evidence. Screenshot every message, note the numbers that called you, and save the loan agreement, payment receipts and the app's name and developer as shown in the app store.
  3. Ask your contacts to screenshot anything they receive and send it to you. Tell them the messages are not from a court or the police.
  4. Check the lender's registration on the FCCPC's approved lenders list. Our step-by-step guide to checking whether a loan app is registered explains how.
  5. Revoke the app's permissions in your phone's settings: contacts, storage, photos, call logs and SMS. Once you have your records, uninstall it.
  6. Write to the lender through its official complaints channel, saying what you will repay and asking it to stop contacting third parties. Keep a copy.

Where to report

WhoReport thisHow
The lenderYour complaint, firstIts in-app or email complaints channel. It should try to resolve it within 48 hours, or 14 days if complex.
FCCPCUnfair charges, harassment, unregistered lendersThe complaints portal at complaints.fccpc.gov.ng, or contact@fccpc.gov.ng
Nigeria Data Protection CommissionMessages to your contacts, use of your photos or dataA complaint to the NDPC through its official website
Nigeria Police ForceThreats of violence, extortion, impersonation of officersYour nearest station, with your evidence
Google Play or App StoreApps that request contacts or photosThe Report option on the app's listing

When you report, include the app and company name, your loan amount and dates, what was said and to whom, and your screenshots. If the lender does not resolve your complaint in the timeframe, escalate to the FCCPC. The NDPC told TechCabal in 2025 that it was receiving about three complaints a day about digital lenders, so you will not be the first.

Your debt after a complaint

A complaint does not cancel a valid debt. If you borrowed and the agreement is fair, you still owe what it says, and missing payments can affect your credit record. What the complaint does is stop unlawful recovery and challenge charges that were never agreed. Repaying the agreed amount quickly, with proof, strengthens your position. Our article on how credit bureaus work explains how to check and dispute your record afterwards.

If messages have reached your employer or family

Get ahead of it. Give your manager or HR a short written note: you have a consumer loan, you are repaying it under the agreement, the lender's messages breach data protection rules, and you have reported it. Attach your complaint reference if you have one. Most employers have seen this before. With family, a short message in the group chat works better than many individual explanations, and it asks people to forward anything further to you rather than reply to the lender.

The best protection is choosing a lender that cannot do this in the first place. The checklist in our everyday credit guide covers what to look for before you borrow.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme's credit products, Spaces credit and Salary Advance, are Nigeria-only and live inside your Pryme account. Spaces credit is lent by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Ltd, a CBN-licensed microfinance bank, and can be spent only with merchants in Pryme's Spaces ecosystem. A Spaces limit is offered based on how you run the account, and you see and accept the full agreement before anything can be drawn. Solid Allianze, the lender, is integrated with all of Nigeria's licensed credit bureaus, so a missed payment is recorded in the credit-reporting system, but any recovery follows the agreement and the rules set out above. Account security uses an authenticator app rather than SMS codes; see security.

Whichever provider you use, check the permissions an app asks for when you install it, and review them from time to time in your phone's settings. You can refuse or revoke access to contacts, call logs and photos, and a lender that insists on them is one to avoid.

Questions people ask

Can a loan app send messages to my contacts in Nigeria?

No. Registered lenders must declare their apps will not access contacts, call logs or photos, and using your contacts to shame you breaches data protection law. Report it to the FCCPC and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Can I be arrested for not paying a loan app?

Not because a lender sends a message saying so. An unpaid personal loan is a civil debt, recovered under the agreement and through the courts if necessary. Threats of arrest should be reported to the FCCPC, and threats of violence to the police.

How do I report a loan app to the FCCPC?

Use the FCCPC complaints portal at complaints.fccpc.gov.ng, or email contact@fccpc.gov.ng. Include the app and company name, loan details, dates and screenshots of the messages.

Do I still have to repay a loan app that harassed me?

If the loan is valid, yes, but only the amount the agreement allows. Pay that amount to the lender's official account and keep proof. Charges that were never disclosed in the agreement can be challenged through the FCCPC.

How long does a lender have to answer my complaint?

Under the FCCPC's 2025 guidelines, a lender should take all reasonable steps to resolve a complaint within 48 hours, and within 14 days where it is complex. After that you can escalate to the Commission.
