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.

Why export payments must reach the exporter's own domiciliary account in Nigeria, the FX Manual 2026 repatriation window, and what to quote.
Payment for goods exported from Nigeria should go to the exporting company's own export proceeds domiciliary account at a Nigerian authorised dealer bank, in the invoice currency, quoting the invoice and Form NXP references. Under the CBN Foreign Exchange Manual 2026, as summarised by Pavestones Legal, non-oil proceeds must be repatriated within 90 days, and cash withdrawals from export proceeds accounts are no longer allowed.
If you buy from a Nigerian exporter, sooner or later someone asks you to "just send it to this account". Sometimes that is a director's personal account, a relative in London or a company in Dubai. Under Nigeria's foreign exchange rules, the money is supposed to land in one place, and that rule protects you as much as it binds the supplier.
The Nigeria Trade Information Portal lists opening an export proceeds domiciliary account with an authorised dealer bank as part of registering as an exporter, alongside CAC, a tax ID and NEPC registration. After shipment, proceeds are repatriated through CBN-approved banks. The account is in the company's name and in foreign currency, typically US dollars.
The CBN's Foreign Exchange Manual 2026 took effect on 1 June 2026. Summaries published since then describe these points for export proceeds:
| Rule | As reported | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Repatriation window | 90 days for non-oil exports, 180 days for oil and gas, with a 1% penalty mentioned | Pavestones Legal on Mondaq, 24 Jun 2026 |
| Cash withdrawals | Not permitted from export proceeds domiciliary accounts | TheCable, 3 Jun 2026; TheNigeriaLawyer, 2 Jun 2026 |
| Transfers to third parties | Must state their purpose, with FEMS codes | TheNigeriaLawyer, 2 Jun 2026 |
Some older guides still quote 180 days for non-oil exports, the figure in a January 2025 circular that the manual replaced. Ask your supplier to confirm the date with its bank; the clock usually runs from the shipment, and late money creates a problem for the supplier rather than for you.
Before you pay, line up these details and make sure they agree:
If you pay by letter of credit or documentary collection, the bank handles the matching; on open account it is down to you. Our guides to buying from a Nigerian exporter and how Nigerian exporters get paid compare the methods.
Example: a Birmingham wholesaler buys USD 18,000 of shea butter. The invoice is in dollars, from "Kano Shea Ltd", with NXP reference quoted. She pays USD 18,000 to Kano Shea Ltd's dollar domiciliary account at its Lagos bank, reference "INV-0412 / NXP ref". If she had paid in pounds, the supplier's bank would convert, and the dollar amount received might no longer match the NXP value. If she had paid the director's cousin in London, the NXP would stay open and the supplier could breach the repatriation window.
Some Nigerian exporters also own a trading company in the UK, the US or the UAE and ask buyers to pay that company. That can be a legitimate structure, for example where the foreign company buys from the Nigerian one and resells to you. But then there are two sales, two invoices and two sets of export and import documents, and the Nigerian company must still receive its own export proceeds in Nigeria. Ask which company is the seller on your invoice and the exporter on the NXP. If the answers differ and nobody can explain the chain in writing, pay the Nigerian exporter directly or use a letter of credit.
Paying in the invoice currency avoids an extra conversion. A Pryme Business Account holds USD, GBP, EUR and NGN with local details, so you can send dollars for a dollar invoice; if you convert, Swap shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's activities are carried out through regulated partners.
You should not. Export proceeds are meant to reach the exporting company's domiciliary account in Nigeria, and a request to pay elsewhere is a common fraud sign.
Under the CBN FX Manual 2026, effective 1 June 2026, as summarised by Pavestones Legal, 90 days for non-oil exports and 180 days for oil and gas. Older guides quoting 180 days for non-oil exports reflect a January 2025 circular that the manual replaced.
No. Reports on the FX Manual 2026 say cash withdrawals from export proceeds domiciliary accounts are no longer permitted.
The invoice number and, if the supplier provides it, the Form NXP reference, so the bank can match your payment to the shipment.
