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.
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.

Nigeria's only diaspora bond matured in 2022. What officials have said about a second one since, what is on offer instead and how to spot a fake.
As at October 2026 we found no second Nigerian diaspora bond on offer and no published terms for one. The only issue so far was the US$300 million, 5.625% bond sold in June 2017 and due in June 2022. Since then the Debt Management Office (DMO) said in 2022 it was reviewing offshore rules for retail products, and the CBN Governor said in 2024 a US diaspora bond could come in 2025, but no offer document has followed.
Many Nigerians abroad remember the 2017 diaspora bond and ask when the next one will open. The short answer is that nothing has been launched. Several officials have talked about a second issue, but talk is not an offer. This article sets out what has actually been said, by whom and when, what you can buy today instead, and how to tell a real government offer from a scheme borrowing the name.
The first and only diaspora bond, the 5.625% Diaspora Bonds due 2022, raised US$300 million. It was issued on 27 June 2017 and was set to mature on 27 June 2022, according to the pricing notice published on the London Stock Exchange. We cover its terms in our guide to the 2017 bond.
After that, public statements have been about intention, not terms:
| Date | Who | What was said |
|---|---|---|
| June 2017 | Federal Government (reported by ThisDay) | After the first issue, the government said it would establish a programme for continued diaspora fundraising. |
| April 2022 | DMO Director-General Patience Oniha (reported by Ecofin Agency, citing Bloomberg) | Nigeria was considering a second diaspora bond. The DMO was reviewing offshore regulations "for changes that may be supportive of offering products to retail investors". No size, currency or date was given. |
| October 2024 | CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso (reported by News Central) | At the IMF and World Bank meetings he said a diaspora bond in the United States "could be on the horizon in 2025", as part of a push to raise remittances towards US$1 billion a month. No DMO terms were published. |
None of these statements came with a prospectus, a size, a coupon or an opening date. A sovereign bond sold to retail investors in the US or UK needs registration documents and a pricing notice of the kind published for the 2017 issue. Until such a document appears, there is no bond to buy.
Officials have not given a full public explanation, so we will not guess at one. What the record does show is that the government has used other instruments to raise dollars since 2017. In August 2024 the DMO sold a domestic FGN US dollar bond: five years, 9.75% a year paid half-yearly, minimum US$10,000, open to resident Nigerians, the diaspora, foreign and institutional investors, according to the DMO's FAQ. News Central reported that it raised over US$900 million against a US$500 million target. In November 2025 Nigeria also sold US$2.35 billion of Eurobonds due 2036 and 2046, reported by Channels TV.
For a reader abroad, the domestic dollar bond is the nearest thing to what a diaspora bond offered: a dollar instrument issued by the federal government that individuals could buy through Nigerian channels. The DMO FAQ said diaspora buyers needed a BVN and NIN, and that subscriptions had to come by electronic transfer, not cash.
If your aim is to lend to the Nigerian government, these are the routes that exist now. Each has its own minimum and rules.
A wider overview of these instruments for Nigerians abroad is in The Ledger's guide to diaspora investment instruments.
Our guide to warning signs in diaspora investment schemes covers the patterns to avoid.
Pryme is a technology company, not a broker, and does not sell government bonds. A Pryme account holds naira, dollars, pounds and euros with local account details for each, so you can keep dollars in dollars and convert with Swap only when you choose, seeing the rate and fee before you approve. Naira deposits are held by a licensed Nigerian microfinance bank. Open an account from any country.
Not that we could find as at October 2026. Officials have spoken about a second issue, but no prospectus, size or opening date has been published.
The 2017 bond was issued on 27 June 2017 and was due to mature on 27 June 2022, according to its pricing notice.
In October 2024 Olayemi Cardoso said a diaspora bond in the US could be on the horizon in 2025. No terms followed.
The 2024 domestic FGN US dollar bond was open to the diaspora with a BVN and NIN, minimum US$10,000. Check the DMO site for any new offer.
