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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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.

Paying into the National Housing Fund from the UK

NHF from abroad. How diaspora contributions work under the FMBN and NiDCOM scheme, the tiers and periods, and what happens if you never take a loan.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, London · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Nigerians abroad can contribute to the National Housing Fund through the FMBN NHF Diaspora Mortgage scheme, verified by NiDCOM. NiDCOM's terms set monthly contributions of $100, $150 or $200 by income tier, paid in dollars for 24, 18 or 12 months before you can apply for a naira loan; FMBN says contributions and KYC can be done remotely.

The National Housing Fund is a long-running Nigerian scheme: people pay in a share of their income, and contributors can borrow from it for a home through mortgage banks. Most Nigerians in the UK last met it as a deduction on a Nigerian payslip. Since August 2026 there is a route designed for people abroad, tied to a diaspora mortgage. Whether paying in makes sense depends on whether you actually want the loan.

Who has to contribute, and who may

Templars' April 2023 note explains that the Business Facilitation Act 2022 amended the NHF Act: contributions are now compulsory only for public-sector employees earning the national minimum wage or more and for self-employed persons, while private-sector employees may contribute voluntarily at 2.5% of monthly income. LawCare's overview describes registration by form NHF2 for employees and self-employed people, which gives a participation number. For someone living and working in the UK, the diaspora scheme is the practical route.

The diaspora contribution route

FMBN launched the NHF Diaspora Mortgage in London on 7 August 2026, saying KYC can be completed digitally and contributions made remotely, without travelling. NiDCOM's terms set the contribution rules:

TierMonthly income (as stated)Monthly contributionMonths before applyingMaximum loan
BasicUnder $1,000$10024₦50 million
Classic$1,000 to $2,000$15018₦75 million
PremiumOver $2,000$20012₦100 million

NiDCOM also says applicants must be first-time NHF beneficiaries, contributions are made in dollars, and the loan is booked and repaid in naira. The income bands are stated in dollars; ask how pound income is assessed. An older FMBN diaspora document gave different figures, so use the current terms you receive in writing.

Example (labelled)

Example only. In the Classic tier you pay $150 a month for 18 months: $2,700. That qualifies you to apply, subject to affordability and the other conditions, for a naira loan of up to ₦75 million. If you pay for 18 months and then decide not to borrow, the $2,700 is a refund question, covered below, not an investment that has grown.

What you get for contributing

  • Eligibility for the diaspora loan. FMBN states up to ₦100 million at 9% a year over a maximum of 10 years, subject to affordability. NiDCOM's terms add 10% equity, a 1% insurance charge and a 0.75% management fee.
  • A record of saving. Your contribution history becomes part of the credit case.
  • It is not a savings product with a competitive return. The domestic NHF refunds contributions with interest at a rate the Minister prescribes, per Templars; NiDCOM's diaspora terms say refunds are paid at the CBN rate plus 2%. Ask exactly what that means for your contributions before you start.

For comparison, FMBN's domestic NHF mortgage page describes loans of up to ₦50 million over up to 30 years at 6%, after 6 months of contributions. The diaspora product is shorter and dearer, and you should compare it with other options in using UK income to get a mortgage in Nigeria.

Paying in from the UK

  1. Register through the NiDCOM application portal and complete the verification it asks for.
  2. Confirm your tier, the contribution amount and the payment channel in writing.
  3. Pay on a fixed date each month. Missed months may extend the period before you can apply; ask how the scheme counts them.
  4. Keep every payment confirmation and any contribution statement. You will need them for the loan application and any refund.

Contributions are in dollars, so if you earn pounds you convert each month. The cost of that conversion is part of the cost of the scheme. If you also send naira home regularly, see how FX margins work.

Common mistakes

  • Paying contributions through an agent or a "facilitator" rather than the official channel NiDCOM and FMBN give you. Ask for the channel in writing and pay only into it.
  • Choosing a tier by hope rather than income. The tier sets both the contribution and the maximum loan, and the lender still tests affordability.
  • Assuming a domestic NHF history carries over. Ask whether contributions from an old Nigerian job count, and get any old NHF number and statement before you apply.

Before you start: is the loan right for you?

  • Do you have a property in mind with a clean title? The lender will need one; see checking a Lagos C of O from the UK.
  • Can you afford naira repayments if the naira strengthens against the pound?
  • Do you have the 10% equity in hand?
  • Would you rather save the same dollars yourself and keep full control of them?

UK tax: information only. NHF contributions are not a UK tax-relieved pension or ISA. If a refund includes interest, GOV.UK says UK residents normally pay tax on foreign income; keep the refund statement. The Nigeria-side background on NHF deductions is in NHF, NSITF and ITF explained.

Where Pryme fits

A Pryme multicurrency account holds pounds and dollars, so you can convert once and pay contributions from a dollar balance; Swap shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Payment receipts can be generated as verifiable receipts for your contribution record.

Questions people ask

Can I pay into the National Housing Fund from the UK?

Yes, through the FMBN NHF Diaspora Mortgage scheme. FMBN says contributions and KYC can be done remotely; NiDCOM verifies applicants.

How much do diaspora NHF contributions cost?

NiDCOM's terms set $100, $150 or $200 a month by income tier, for 24, 18 or 12 months before you can apply.

Is NHF compulsory for Nigerians abroad?

No. Since the 2022 amendment, Templars says NHF is compulsory only for public-sector employees on at least the minimum wage and the self-employed in Nigeria.

Can I get my NHF contributions back?

NiDCOM's diaspora terms say refunds are paid at the CBN rate plus 2%. Confirm the refund process in writing before you start.
