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.

LSETF loans in Lagos: requirements, documents, how to apply

What the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund asks of loan applicants in 2026: BVN, LASRRA, a year of trading, 5% equity, documents and the reported rate.

PR
Pryme researchFunding desk · 17 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

The Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) lends to businesses physically operating in Lagos at concessionary rates. Applicants and guarantors need a BVN and LASRRA ID, at least one year of trading, a Lagos business address, an LIRS Tax ID, six months of business bank statements, and a 5% equity contribution, refundable after full repayment. A May 2026 guide reports a 5% annual rate within a ₦25 billion fund and loans of ₦500,000 to ₦5 million; LSETF's own current terms should be checked.

Documents to prepare

  1. Government ID: National ID, voter's card, driver's licence or international passport.
  2. LASRRA residency card for you and each guarantor.
  3. LIRS Tax ID.
  4. CAC certificate where applicable.
  5. Six months of business bank statements.
  6. Guarantor details and their IDs.
  7. Proof of business address, such as a lease or utility bill.

Reported terms, and where sources differ

Fund sizeNot givenPart of a ₦25bn fund (NJSR, May 2026)

Late penaltyAbout 1% on overdue monthly obligationsNot stated

Worked example: the 5% equity and the monthly cost

Example only, assuming a ₦2,000,000 loan at the reported 5% a year over 24 months. You pay ₦100,000 equity contribution up front, which is refunded once the loan is fully repaid. The monthly repayment would be about ₦87,700, and total interest about ₦106,000 (our calculation, rounded). A missed month could add a penalty of about 1% of the overdue amount.

How to apply

  1. Choose the right LSETF product; there are youth, MSME and sector windows, and some open only at set times.
  2. Apply on the official LSETF portal, or at an LSETF desk in your local government area.
  3. Upload documents and give guarantor details.
  4. Attend any training or verification visit.
  5. On approval, pay the 5% equity contribution and sign the direct debit mandate before disbursement.

Why applications stall

  • Guarantors without a LASRRA card or BVN, or who cannot be reached for verification.
  • A business address that cannot be verified on a visit, such as a home address used only for registration.
  • Bank statements that mix personal and business money, so turnover is unclear.
  • Less than a year of trading evidence.
  • No LIRS Tax ID, or names that differ between CAC, BVN and tax records.
  • Not having the 5% equity contribution ready when the offer comes.

Other LSETF support

LSETF also runs non-loan support, including a one-month MSME bootcamp reported in 2026, and youth programmes. Lagos CARES grants for women and youth were reported with a second-quarter 2026 window; check whether a new round has opened. For federal options, see the SME funding directory.

Where Pryme fits

A direct debit lender looks at whether money arrives regularly. Running trading income through one business account, such as a Pryme Business Account, gives a clearer six-month history. Pryme is not an LSETF partner.

How we compiled this

Eligibility, documents, equity, penalty and channels are from Lagos Metropolitan, 28 August 2026. The 5% rate, ₦25bn fund and one-employee condition are from an NJSR guide dated 25 May 2026; the loan range is from a 2026 Naijapreneur list; the bootcamp from Entrepreneurs.ng. The repayment example is our own arithmetic.

Questions people ask

What are the requirements for an LSETF loan?

BVN and LASRRA ID for you and guarantors, a Lagos business address, at least one year of trading, LIRS Tax ID, six months of bank statements and a 5% equity contribution.

What is the LSETF loan interest rate?

LSETF describes it as concessionary. A May 2026 guide reported 5% a year; confirm on LSETF's portal.

Do I need collateral for an LSETF loan?

Physical collateral is minimal; the scheme relies on the 5% equity contribution, guarantors and a direct debit mandate.

Can I get an LSETF loan if I live outside Lagos?

The business must have a verifiable physical address or registered office in Lagos State.
