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.

Naira money market funds: can investors abroad redeem easily?

How naira money market fund redemptions are paid when you live abroad, how long they take, and the holding-period charges to check first.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, investments · 24 Oct 2026 · 6 min read
The short answer

Yes, as long as the fund has a Nigerian naira bank account on file to pay into. Fund managers pay redemptions in naira to your nominated Nigerian account, not to a foreign one: Stanbic IBTC's fund page promises online redemptions within 2 working days, and SEC rules require open-ended funds to settle within 5 working days. Moving the money abroad after that is a separate step with its own rules.

A naira money market fund is one of the simplest things a Nigerian abroad can hold at home: short-term government and bank paper, priced daily, with no fixed maturity. The question most investors abroad ask is not whether they can get in, but whether they can get out quickly, and where the money lands when they do. This guide sets out what fund managers' own pages say, the rules that cap how long a redemption can take, and the step that usually causes delays: getting naira from a Nigerian account to wherever you live.

Where a redemption is paid

Fund managers pay redemptions into the bank account you named when you opened the fund account. For a naira fund that is a naira account at a Nigerian bank. None of the fund pages we read offers to pay a naira redemption into a UK, US or Canadian account, and a fund manager is not a foreign exchange dealer. So in practice a redemption from abroad has two legs:

  1. The fund pays naira into your nominated Nigerian account.
  2. You then decide whether to keep it in naira, convert it, or send it abroad through a bank or another licensed channel.

If you no longer have a working Nigerian account, fix that before you need the money. A dormant or restricted account can hold up a redemption even when the fund itself pays on time. Our guide on stopping a Nigerian account going dormant covers the usual causes.

How long redemptions take: what the funds say

The SEC's December 2019 rules on collective investment schemes say an open-ended fund's trust deed must provide for redemption settlement "not later than five (5) working days following the transaction". Individual funds often promise faster. The table below is taken from each manager's own page as read in October 2026.

FundRedemption routeStated timingEarly-exit charge
Stanbic IBTC Money Market FundOnline (web or app) to nominated bankWithin 2 working days; online limit ₦2,500,000 a day20% of accrued income if redeemed within the 30-day minimum holding period
Stanbic IBTC Money Market FundBranch redemption formWithin 5 working daysAs above
ARM Money Market FundRedemption form"Should not exceed one working day" after receipt (FAQ)Factsheet (Sept 2025) shows a 90-day minimum holding period
FBN Money Market FundPer third-party listing (nairaCompare)Typically 24 to 48 hours20% of income within 30 days (unverified on the manager's own page)

Two details matter for someone abroad. First, Stanbic IBTC's online route needs a signed consent form and is for individual and joint accounts only; if you never signed it, you may be pushed to the branch form, which is slower and harder to submit from outside Nigeria. Second, ARM's FAQ notes that a partial withdrawal before the end of a quarter pays your capital, with income following at the next quarterly distribution. Do not be surprised if the first payment looks smaller than your balance.

Getting the money out of Nigeria

Once naira sits in your Nigerian account, the fund's job is done. What happens next depends on the kind of account you hold and how the money first came in.

  • Ordinary naira account. Naira can be converted at a bank or another authorised channel under the CBN's foreign exchange rules, then sent abroad. Expect the bank to ask what the money is and where it came from.
  • Non-Resident Nigerian Investment Account (NRNIA). Under the CBN framework effective 1 January 2025, as summarised by Lexworth on Mondaq, naira balances are repatriable "upon evidence of prior foreign inflows and related investment proceeds". If you funded the fund with foreign currency through this account, keep the inflow records.
  • Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI). Foreign investors who bring money in through an authorised dealer receive a CCI, which supports repatriation of proceeds through that dealer. Most diaspora investors who funded a fund from naira already in Nigeria will not have one.

For the wider picture, see moving naira savings abroad after relocating and which investor route applies to you.

A worked example

Example only. Ada lives in Leeds and holds ₦4,000,000 in a fund with a ₦2,500,000 daily online redemption limit. She needs ₦3,000,000 for a family expense in Lagos. She requests ₦2,500,000 online on Monday and ₦500,000 on Tuesday. If the fund pays within 2 working days, the first sum could arrive by Wednesday and the second by Thursday. She was past the minimum holding period, so no income was forfeited. Had she invested only three weeks earlier in a fund with a 30-day holding period and 20% income penalty, and earned ₦60,000 of income, the charge would have been ₦12,000 (20% of ₦60,000).

What to check first

  1. Your nominated Nigerian account is active, in your name, and matches your BVN.
  2. You have signed whatever online redemption consent the manager requires, so you can redeem without a branch visit.
  3. The fund's current minimum holding period and early-exit charge.
  4. Any daily online redemption limit, and whether larger sums need a form.
  5. Your fund account email and phone number still work from abroad; redemption confirmations go there.
  6. How you plan to move the naira afterwards, and what records your bank will want.

The Nigeria library's guide to how money market funds work explains yields, NAV pricing and fees in more detail.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme is not a fund manager. What it can do is give you a naira account, held by a licensed Nigerian microfinance bank, alongside GBP, USD and EUR in one multicurrency account you can open from abroad. A redemption can be paid into the naira side and stay there until you choose to convert with Swap: the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's services are provided through regulated partners.

Questions people ask

Can a Nigerian money market fund pay my redemption into a UK or US bank account?

The fund pages we read pay naira redemptions only to a nominated Nigerian bank account. Converting and sending abroad is a separate step through a bank or licensed channel.

How long does a money market fund redemption take in Nigeria?

SEC rules require settlement within 5 working days. Some funds state faster: Stanbic IBTC says 2 working days online, and ARM's FAQ says one working day after receiving the form.

Will I lose money if I redeem early?

Not capital, but many funds charge a share of the income earned if you redeem inside a minimum holding period, for example 20% of accrued income within 30 days at Stanbic IBTC.

Do I need to fly home to redeem?

Not usually, if you set up online access and signed the manager's consent form. Branch-only redemption forms are harder to submit from abroad, so arrange online access early.
