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.

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.

How multi-currency business accounts work: local details vs SWIFT, payment rails, the real cost of FX, safeguarding vs deposit protection, and hedging.
How UK, US, Canadian and European firms pay Nigerian suppliers and get paid by Nigerian clients: FX, Form A and M, tax, compliance and payout routes.
What it really costs to send money to Nigeria from the UK, US, Canada and Europe: fees, exchange-rate margins, CBN naira rules, BVN, speed and scams.
What AI can and cannot do in day-to-day bookkeeping, how much time it saves on real numbers, and which jobs must stay with you or your accountant.
Why your Lagos supplier must raise Form NXP before shipping to you, what it ties together, and why it decides which account you should pay.
Form NXP is the Central Bank of Nigeria’s export declaration, filed electronically by the Nigerian exporter through its bank on the CBN’s Trade Monitoring System and required for commercial exports since October 2019. For a US buyer it matters because it ties the shipment to the exporter’s bank, and the exporter must bring your payment into its domiciliary account within the CBN’s repatriation deadline, so pay that company’s account, not a person or third party.
Nigeria tracks non-oil exports through the CBN’s foreign exchange rules. The e-Form NXP replaced the paper form from 31 October 2019, under a CBN circular of 28 October 2019 that described it as "a requirement for commercial exports". The exporter logs on to the Trade Monitoring System, completes the form through an authorised dealer bank, and must have a valid tax ID. Deloitte’s 2019 summary put the processing fee at a fixed ₦5,000, separate from bank charges; check the current fee with the bank.
The form is the exporter’s responsibility, not yours. But because it decides how your payment is treated in Nigeria, you should know whether one exists for your order.
An NXP connects a shipment to the bank that will receive its proceeds, and to the other papers a properly cleared export produces. NEPC’s Export Expansion Grant page lists the documents an exporter submits to prove a formal export:
For you as importer, the useful point is that a supplier exporting formally can show these. A supplier who cannot is either exporting informally or is not the real exporter.
The CBN requires export proceeds to come back into Nigeria within a set time. Under its Foreign Exchange Manual 2026, effective 1 June 2026, that is 90 days for non-oil exports and 180 days for oil and gas, with proceeds credited to the exporter’s domiciliary account, according to a June 2026 summary by Pavestones. The manual replaced a January 2025 circular, explained by Stren & Blan, that had suspended extensions and set 180 days for non-oil exports. Your supplier’s bank will confirm the date for your shipment.
Two consequences follow for a US buyer:
The Manual also bars cash withdrawals of export proceeds, according to TheCable’s June 2026 report, so a supplier asking for cash dollars is a warning sign.
The Nigeria-side rules on proceeds are covered in full in Form NXP and export proceeds rules in plain words.
A Lagos trader may sell you goods but have them exported by another company that holds the export papers. That is not unlawful in itself, but the NXP, the bill of lading and the account your money should go to will then be in the other company’s name. Ask for that arrangement in writing, check both companies, and make sure your contract names who is selling and who is exporting.
If the invoice you receive shows a different value from the NXP, or a second “real” invoice is offered for customs, refuse it. The value you declare to CBP must be the price you actually paid, and a mismatched NXP can cause trouble for the exporter with its bank.
Long credit terms can collide with the repatriation deadline. Stren & Blan’s note on the January 2025 circular says authorised dealer banks were told not to accept proceeds that arrive after the deadline and face sanctions if they do. If you want 120 days to pay, discuss it with the supplier first; their bank, not you, decides what is possible.
Many US buyers start with small orders sent by courier. The rule that commercial exports need an NXP does not come with a published value threshold in the sources we read, so ask your supplier how they handle small commercial shipments with their bank. The US side is clear either way: since the $800 de minimis exemption was suspended, every commercial parcel needs a US customs entry, and food needs FDA prior notice.
Paying the right account is easier when every transfer carries a clear reference. From a Pryme Business Account opened in the US you can send to a Nigerian supplier with the invoice number attached, and generate a verifiable statement through VerifyDoc.ai that anyone can check is genuine. Outside Nigeria, Pryme’s services are provided through regulated partners.
The CBN’s electronic export declaration, raised by the Nigerian exporter through its bank on the Trade Monitoring System. It has been required for commercial exports since October 2019.
No. The Nigerian exporter files it. You should ask for the NXP number and pay the exporter’s domiciliary account at the processing bank.
90 days for non-oil exports under the CBN FX Manual 2026, effective 1 June 2026, and 180 days for oil and gas. The 180 days for non-oil in a January 2025 circular is superseded. Check the date with the supplier’s bank.
It is safer not to. Export proceeds are expected in the exporting company’s domiciliary account; paying elsewhere leaves the export unmatched and weakens your own records.
