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.

Can Nigerians abroad join the NHF and FMBN diaspora scheme?

FMBN launched an NHF Diaspora Mortgage Loan in August 2026: up to ₦100m at 9% over up to 10 years. What is known, and what to confirm.

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

Yes. The Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) launched an NHF Diaspora Mortgage Loan in London on 7 August 2026, letting Nigerians abroad contribute to the National Housing Fund and complete checks remotely. FMBN says the loan goes up to ₦100 million, subject to affordability, at 9% a year over a maximum of 10 years.

What the NHF is, in brief

The National Housing Fund (NHF) is a contributory savings scheme run by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. Contributors pay a share of their income into the fund, and after a qualifying period can apply for a mortgage at a below-market rate. FMBN's NHF FAQ states the contribution as 2.5% of monthly gross salary or income, and says FMBN uses one-third of an applicant's income as the ceiling for servicing an NHF loan.

For residents, the standard NHF mortgage page says FMBN lends to accredited primary mortgage banks at 4%, which lend on to contributors at 6%, for up to ₦50 million over up to 30 years, after six months of continuous contributions. Those are the home-market terms, as at Oct 2026.

The diaspora product: what FMBN has said

In a news release dated 8 August 2026, FMBN announced the official launch in London of an NHF Diaspora Mortgage Loan. The release says:

  • Nigerians abroad can now contribute to the NHF and complete know-your-customer checks digitally, without travelling home.
  • Loans go up to ₦100 million, “subject to affordability and applicable requirements”.
  • The interest rate is 9% per annum.
  • The maximum tenor is 10 years.

The release does not give the equity contribution, the currency in which contributions are paid, whether a Non-Resident BVN is required, or which mortgage banks process the loans. Ask FMBN for those terms in writing before committing.

Rate6% (via primary mortgage banks)9% per annum
Maximum tenor30 years10 years
Contribution period before loan6 months continuousNot stated in the release
SourceFMBN NHF Mortgage Loan pageFMBN news release, 8 Aug 2026

Worked example: what a diaspora NHF loan could cost

Example only, using FMBN's stated 9% and 10 years and a standard monthly repayment formula. Amaka in Toronto borrows ₦30,000,000.

  • Monthly rate: 9% ÷ 12 = 0.75%.
  • Monthly repayment over 120 months: about ₦380,027.
  • Total repaid: about ₦45,603,279, of which about ₦15,603,279 is interest.
  • If FMBN applies its one-third-of-income rule to diaspora applicants (not confirmed in the release), Amaka would need monthly income equivalent to about ₦1,140,082.

The shorter tenor is the main reason the monthly figure is high compared with a 30-year NHF loan. Exchange-rate movement matters too: if you earn in pounds or dollars and repay in naira, a weaker naira makes each repayment cheaper in your currency, and a stronger naira makes it dearer.

Who is likely to qualify

From the release, the scheme is aimed at Nigerians living abroad who want to own a home in Nigeria. Expect FMBN to check identity, income and contribution history. Practical items to have in order:

  • Nigerian passport and NIN (enrol abroad if needed; see our NIN abroad guide).
  • A BVN or NRBVN, since Nigerian lenders link credit and accounts to it.
  • Proof of foreign income, such as payslips and bank statements.
  • A Nigerian account to pay contributions and repayments from.
  • Details of the property and its title.

What to check first

  1. Get the full diaspora product sheet from FMBN: equity, fees, insurance, contribution period and payment currency.
  2. Confirm which primary mortgage bank will handle your application.
  3. Check the property's title before paying anything; see building from abroad for how to manage project money.
  4. Model repayments at a range of exchange rates, not just today's.

Questions to ask FMBN before you start contributing

Because the diaspora product is new, the public release leaves gaps that affect what you pay and whether you qualify. Ask for answers in writing:

  1. How long must I contribute before I can apply, and is there a minimum monthly contribution for diaspora contributors?
  2. Do I contribute in naira from a Nigerian account, or can I pay from abroad in another currency?
  3. Is the 9% rate fixed for the whole tenor?
  4. What equity contribution is required, and does it vary by loan size?
  5. Which insurance policies (life, property) are compulsory, and what do they cost?
  6. What happens to my contributions if I never take a loan? For residents, NHF contributions are refundable at retirement under the scheme's rules.

Risks to weigh

A government-backed rate can still be expensive if the house is wrong. The usual diaspora property risks apply: unclear title, a builder or relative who handles funds without receipts, and a project that runs over budget while you are thousands of miles away. Some practical safeguards:

  • Commission an independent title search before signing anything.
  • Pay builders in stages against photos, receipts and a site visit by someone you trust who is not the builder.
  • Keep every payment receipt and statement; you may need them for FMBN, for tax and if there is a dispute.
  • Remember that a 10-year loan ends sooner but costs more each month; budget for months when your income dips.

Where Pryme fits

Contributions and repayments are in naira, while most diaspora income is in pounds, dollars or euros. A Pryme account holds all four, so you can keep income in its own currency and Swap to naira when a payment is due, seeing the rate and fee before you approve.

Questions people ask

Can I contribute to NHF from abroad?

Yes. FMBN said in August 2026 that Nigerians abroad can contribute to the NHF and complete checks remotely under its diaspora mortgage product.

What is the interest rate on the FMBN diaspora mortgage?

FMBN's release gives 9% per annum, with a maximum tenor of 10 years and loans up to ₦100 million, subject to affordability.

How much is the NHF contribution?

FMBN's FAQ states 2.5% of monthly gross salary or income. How this is calculated for foreign income is not stated in the diaspora release.

Is the diaspora NHF loan the same as the normal NHF mortgage?

No. The standard NHF mortgage is up to ₦50 million at 6% over up to 30 years; the diaspora loan is up to ₦100 million at 9% over up to 10 years.
