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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

Nigerian certificate of no impediment for marriage in Italy

Marrying at an Italian comune? What article 116 requires of a Nigerian, what the Rome Embassy publishes, and how to prepare the paperwork.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, Rome · 24 Oct 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer

Under article 116 of the Italian Civil Code, a foreigner marrying in Italy must give the registrar (ufficiale dello stato civile) a declaration from the competent authority of their own country that nothing prevents the marriage, the nulla osta. For a Nigerian, that authority in Italy is the Embassy of Nigeria in Rome, but its website (checked October 2026) publishes no procedure or fee for it, so contact the Embassy and your comune before you book a date.

What the Italian law asks for

Article 116 of the Codice civile, headed "Matrimonio dello straniero nello Stato", is short. A foreigner who wants to marry in Italy must present to the civil registrar a declaration from the competent authority of their own country showing that, under the laws they are subject to, there is no obstacle ("nulla osta") to the marriage. The same article applies some Italian rules to foreigners as well, including the minimum age, the ban on marrying while already married and the rules on close relatives (articles 85, 86, 87, 88 and 89).

Two details often surprise people. First, the article once also required proof of lawful stay in Italy; the Constitutional Court struck that requirement down in judgment 245 of 25 July 2011, so a comune cannot refuse the marriage only because one partner has no permesso di soggiorno. Second, a foreigner who has residence or domicile in Italy must also have the banns (pubblicazioni) published like an Italian citizen. The legal commentary on Brocardi.it (updated August 2026) notes that the drafters chose not to accept a substitute document in place of the nulla osta, and that in practice the declaration must be translated into Italian and legalised.

Who issues it for a Nigerian

The "competent authority" for a Nigerian citizen living in Italy is normally the Nigerian diplomatic mission, the Embassy of Nigeria in Rome (Via Orazio 14/18, with the public entrance at Via Cassiodoro 2c). When we read its site in October 2026, the consular page covered only passports, pointing to the Nigeria Immigration Service portal, and visas through an outsourced office. It did not describe a certificate of no impediment, a document list or a fee. That does not mean the service is unavailable; it means you need to ask directly, through the contact details the NIS or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists for the Embassy, during consular hours (stated as 9:00 to 12:00).

To give a sense of what a Nigerian mission typically asks for, the Nigeria High Commission in London, which does publish its list, issues a certificate of no impediment for a £20 service charge plus £15 processing, and asks for a notarised declaration of non-impediment, a passport copy, proof of the planned marriage and, if you were divorced, the decree absolute. Rome may ask for something similar, different, or more; treat the London list only as a guide to the kind of evidence to have ready.

Documents worth preparing early

  • A valid Nigerian passport, with the names spelled exactly as they will appear on the Italian marriage record.
  • Your NPC birth certificate or declaration of age. If it is needed in Italy in its own right, it has to go through Nigerian and Italian legalisation first (see below).
  • A sworn declaration that you are free to marry, if the Embassy asks for one. Under section 110 of Nigeria's Evidence Act, an affidavit sworn outside Nigeria can be made before a notary, a judge or magistrate, or an authorised officer at a Nigerian mission.
  • If you were married before: the divorce decree absolute, or the death certificate of a late spouse.
  • Your Italian residence details, because the comune will run the banns if you are resident.

Getting the nulla osta accepted by the comune

Every comune's ufficio di stato civile applies article 116, but practice differs on paperwork. Before you pay for anything, ask the office where you will marry three questions: whether it accepts a nulla osta issued by the Embassy in Rome with a legalisation by the Prefettura, whether it wants an Italian translation and in what form, and how long before the date it must be filed. Some offices ask for a foreign embassy's signature to be legalised by the local Prefettura before they accept it; your comune will tell you whether it needs that step, and the Prefettura will tell you its own fee and booking rules.

If the nulla osta is written in English, the comune will normally want an Italian translation. Our guide to sworn translation of Nigerian documents into Italian explains how a traduzione giurata is sworn at a tribunale. Documents issued in Nigeria itself, such as a birth certificate, follow a separate route through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja and the Italian mission in Nigeria, set out in legalising Nigerian documents at the Italian Embassy in Abuja.

A worked timeline (example)

  1. Week 1: Chioma, resident in Turin, asks her comune what it needs and emails the Embassy in Rome to ask how to apply for a nulla osta.
  2. Weeks 2 to 4: she gathers her passport, birth certificate and divorce decree, and swears the declaration the Embassy asks for.
  3. Weeks 4 to 8: she attends or posts the application to Rome and receives the nulla osta.
  4. Weeks 8 to 10: she has it legalised and translated as the comune specified, then files it and the banns are published.
  5. After the banns period: the wedding. The weeks are illustrative only; neither the Embassy nor the law sets these intervals.

What to check first

  1. Ask the comune for its written list for foreign nationals and note its translation and legalisation rules.
  2. Email the Embassy in Rome, state your full name, passport number and planned wedding date, and ask for the nulla osta requirements and fee in writing.
  3. Check that your names, date of birth and marital history agree across passport, NIN and birth certificate; a mismatch will stall both offices.
  4. Leave time: the banns, translation and legalisation all add days that you cannot compress.

Where Pryme fits

Embassy charges, translation fees and wedding costs often come from euro savings while family contributions arrive in naira. A Pryme account holds EUR and NGN side by side, and Swap shows the rate and the fee before you approve any conversion. More on our Rome Embassy consular fees guide.

Questions people ask

Does the Nigerian Embassy in Rome issue a nulla osta for marriage?

The Embassy is the authority article 116 points a Nigerian to, but its website (October 2026) does not describe the service, documents or fee. Contact the Embassy through the details the NIS or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists and ask for the requirements in writing.

Can I marry in Italy without a permesso di soggiorno?

The requirement to prove lawful stay was struck out of article 116 by the Constitutional Court in judgment 245 of 2011. The nulla osta and the other conditions still apply.

Can a sworn affidavit replace the nulla osta?

Not as a rule. Article 116 asks for a declaration from your country's competent authority, and the drafters rejected substitute documents. An affidavit may form part of what the Embassy asks for before it issues the nulla osta.

Does the nulla osta need translating into Italian?

Usually yes. Ask your comune whether it wants a sworn translation (traduzione giurata) and whether the Embassy's signature must first be legalised by the Prefettura.
