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.

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.

Part of the guideDoing business with Africa: paying and getting paid in Nigeria
Nigeria's official exchange rate is set by trading between authorised dealers on the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), a single "willing buyer, willing seller" market created in June 2023. Since December 2024, interbank dollar–naira trades are priced and matched on the CBN's Electronic Foreign Exchange Matching System (EFEMS), and the published benchmark is the FMDQ FX closing rate; on 13 October 2026 it was about ₦1,332 per dollar.
Every invoice a foreign firm sends to a Nigerian client, and every naira payout it makes, is priced off one number: the official NFEM rate. Knowing how that number is made tells you which rate to write into a contract and how to judge a provider's quote. For the wider guide to cross-border payments, see doing business with Nigeria and Africa.
Until mid-2023 Nigeria ran several official FX windows at different rates, alongside a parallel (street) market. On 14 June 2023 the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) folded the official segments into one market on a willing buyer, willing seller basis. The market was later named the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM).
The naira adjusted sharply. The official rate moved from about ₦469.50 per dollar on 8 June 2023 to about ₦1,538 by February 2024, and the parallel market touched ₦1,700 in October 2024. It has since stabilised: on 13 October 2026 the NFEM rate was about ₦1,332.47, and bureaux de change quoted ₦1,365 to buy and ₦1,375 to sell on 14 October. The official–street gap is now around 3%.
The effect of EFEMS is visibility. Every bank-to-bank trade is priced in one place and reported in near real time, which narrows the room for side deals at off-market rates and makes the published rate a fair measure of where money actually changes hands.
Rates move during the trading day, so a quote at 10:00 and the closing rate at 16:00 can differ. Save a copy of the benchmark you relied on for each conversion. Auditors and tax authorities on both sides may ask how a naira amount was translated.
A US agency needs to pay a Nigerian supplier ₦13,000,000. The NFEM benchmark that morning is ₦1,332.47 per dollar. At that rate the naira costs $9,756.32.
| Quote | Rate offered (₦ per $) | Fee | Total cost in dollars | Cost above benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provider A: low fee, wide margin | 1,305.00 | $5 | $9,966.69 | $210.37 (2.2%) |
| Provider B: fee on its own line | 1,332.47 | 0.35%: $34.15 | $9,790.46 | $34.15 (0.35%) |
| Provider C: no fee, "best rate" | 1,290.00 | $0 | $10,077.52 | $321.20 (3.3%) |
The cheapest-looking quote can be the most expensive. Convert every offer into the total dollars it takes to deliver the same naira, then compare that with the benchmark. Provider B's figures assume conversion at the benchmark for illustration; real quotes will sit a little either side.
If your business both pays and receives in Nigeria, you can reduce how often you convert at all. The contractor payments guide shows how the rate gap adds up on a monthly retainer, and Form A and Form M explained covers the paperwork your client's bank needs before it sells FX. The parent guide to Nigeria business payments brings both together.
Swap shows the rate before you confirm, holds it for about 30 seconds and puts any fee on its own line, which makes the comparison above simple to run. Swap also offers "When it hits", a target rate you approve when it is reached; check whether it is available on your account type. Balances in a business multicurrency account stay in the currency they arrived in until you choose to convert. Pryme Financial Ltd is a technology company, not a bank. In Nigeria, naira deposits are held by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Ltd, licensed by the CBN and insured by the NDIC up to the applicable limit; outside Nigeria, activities are carried out through regulated partners. A business account can be opened from any country; the documents required for your business are shown when you apply.
It is Nigeria's official exchange rate, formed by trading between authorised dealers on the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market. FMDQ publishes a daily closing rate and the CBN publishes daily transaction rates. On 13 October 2026 it was about ₦1,332 per dollar.
The Electronic Foreign Exchange Matching System is the CBN-mandated platform, on Bloomberg BMatch, where interbank dollar–naira trades are priced and matched. It went live on 2 December 2024 and requires trades to be reported within 10 minutes.
The official rate is set by authorised dealers on the NFEM; the parallel rate is quoted by bureaux de change and street traders. The gap, once hundreds of naira, was about 3% in October 2026.
Name a specific published benchmark, such as the FMDQ FX closing rate for USD/NGN, and a specific date. Also agree who bears the bank's spread around that rate.
Since June 2023 the official market works on a willing buyer, willing seller basis, but the CBN supervises it closely through EFEMS, reporting rules and its own interventions.
