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.

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.

Nigeria public holidays 2027: dates to plan around

Nigeria's 2027 public holidays with dates and weekdays, expected Sallah dates, weekend substitute days and what an election year can add.

PR
Pryme researchCalendars desk · 17 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

In 2027 Nigeria's fixed public holidays are 1 January, Good Friday (26 March), Easter Monday (29 March), 1 May, 12 June, 1 October, and 25 and 26 December. Eid-el-Fitr is expected around 9–10 March, Eid-el-Kabir around 16 May and Id-el-Maulud around 15 August; the Federal Government confirms these shortly before each falls.

This is a planning list for 2027. Fixed dates are certain years ahead; Islamic dates are expected dates that the Federal Government (FG) confirms nearer the time. Several 2027 holidays fall on weekends, which usually means a substitute weekday off.

Nigeria public holidays 2027 (planning list as of October 2026)

HolidayDate in 2027WeekdayStatus
New Year's Day1 JanuaryFridayFixed by law
Eid-el-FitrExpected 9 or 10 March, often with a second dayTuesday or WednesdayExpected; FG declares
Good Friday26 MarchFridayFixed (follows Easter, 28 March)

Id-el-MauludExpected 14 or 15 AugustSaturday or SundayExpected; FG declares
Independence Day1 OctoberFridayFixed by law
Christmas Day25 DecemberSaturdayFixed; substitute day likely
Boxing Day26 DecemberSundayFixed; substitute day likely (Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December)

Why 2027 has so many weekend holidays

The calendar shifts one weekday each year (two after a leap year). In 2027, Workers' Day, Democracy Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day all land on a Saturday or Sunday. The Public Holidays Act lets the government declare the next working day a holiday when this happens, and in recent years it has generally done so. If the pattern holds, the working weeks containing 3 May, 14 June and 27–28 December will be short.

Eid-el-Kabir and Id-el-Maulud could also fall on a weekend in 2027 depending on the moon. When an Eid falls on a Sunday, the FG has often declared the Monday as well.

Likely long weekends in 2027

BreakExpected days offNotes
Eid-el-FitrAround 9–10 March (Tuesday–Wednesday)Midweek; depends on moon sighting
EasterFriday 26 to Monday 29 MarchFour days
Workers' DaySaturday 1 to Monday 3 MayIf a substitute Monday is declared
Eid-el-KabirAround Sunday 16 to Monday 17 MayPossibly a further weekday
Democracy DaySaturday 12 to Monday 14 JuneIf a substitute Monday is declared
ChristmasSaturday 25 to Tuesday 28 DecemberIf two substitute days are declared

Ramadan 2027

Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin around 8 February 2027 and end with Eid-el-Fitr around 9 or 10 March. The month itself is not a public holiday, but some northern state governments adjust official working hours.

Election year: what else can change

Nigeria's next general elections are due in early 2027 under the constitution's four-year cycle. In past election years the FG has not made polling days national public holidays, but movement is restricted on polling days and many offices, markets and banks close or open late. Check the timetable published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and any restriction-of-movement order from the police before you plan deliveries, payroll or travel around those dates. Some states may also declare work-free days for voter registration or collection of voter cards. Inauguration day, 29 May 2027, is not a national public holiday under the current Act, and any work-free day for the ceremony would need a separate declaration.

Planning cash flow and payroll around 2027 holidays

  1. Run payroll early in late March: Good Friday and Easter Monday sit at the end of the month, so 26–29 March are non-working days. Any salary paid by bank transfer arrives as normal, but branch-based processes will not.
  2. Expect two long breaks around the Eids. Stock up retail and food lines before Eid-el-Fitr (around 9–10 March) and Eid-el-Kabir (around 16–17 May).
  3. Mark filing deadlines that land on holidays. Deadlines that fall on a public holiday generally move to the next working day; our compliance calendar lists them.
  4. Plan the year-end close. With Christmas and Boxing Day on a weekend, the substitute days push the last full working days of 2027 into 29–31 December.

Banking on 2027 holidays

Bank branches close on every declared holiday, including substitute days. Instant transfers through NIP, card payments, USSD and banking apps keep running, so salaries and supplier payments sent electronically still arrive. Cheque clearing, some interbank settlement and processes that need a branch, such as account opening for some customers or cash collection from vaults, wait for the next working day. If payroll or a large payment is due the day after a long weekend, send it before the break, not on the morning you return.

For the year in progress, see Nigeria public holidays 2026. Seasonal trading patterns for Lagos and Port Harcourt help with stock and staffing.

How we put this together

Fixed dates come from the Public Holidays Act as amended in 2019 (which moved Democracy Day to 12 June). Easter 2027 falls on 28 March. Islamic dates are calculated Gregorian equivalents for 1 Shawwal, 10 Dhul Hijjah and 12 Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH. Substitute days follow recent government practice and are marked as likely, not declared. No 2027 declarations had been issued at the time of this update.

Questions people ask

When is Easter 2027 in Nigeria?

Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027, so Good Friday is 26 March and Easter Monday is 29 March. Both are public holidays.

When is Sallah in 2027?

Eid-el-Fitr is expected around 9 or 10 March 2027 and Eid-el-Kabir around 16 or 17 May 2027, depending on the moon. The FG confirms the days.

Will election day be a public holiday in 2027?

Polling days have not usually been declared national public holidays, but movement restrictions apply and many businesses close. Watch for FG and INEC announcements.

What happens when a holiday falls on a Saturday?

The government usually declares the next Monday a holiday. In 2027 that is likely for 1 May, 12 June and the Christmas holidays.
