Meet Eva, the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals and follows up. Nothing leaves your account without your approval.
Meet Eva, the assistant inside the Pryme app. She holds dollars, pounds, euros and Naira side by side, swaps at a locked rate, pays bills in any of them and sends anywhere, asking before anything moves.













We give you a limit to spend at the shops and services you already use — and an account that works on your month while you get on with it. Dollars, pounds and euros sit beside your Naira, and an assistant handles the running of it, asking you first every single time.

BruceCareYour competitor down the road sells the same thing you sell. The difference is who walks in. We put money in people’s hands that can only be spent in businesses like yours — and then we point them at you.
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.

No card, no OTP, nothing for the buyer to type in. They transfer from the bank app they already use, and the money lands in the same account your agents are running — already matched to the order, already in your books.
We give the buyer a one-time account number. They transfer to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in.

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.
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.
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.

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.

The New York consulate lists 20 states; the rest fall to the Embassy in DC or the Atlanta consulate. The confirmed list, and how to check your state.
Nigeria has three passport-issuing missions in the US: the Embassy in Washington DC and the consulates general in New York and Atlanta. The New York consulate publishes its list of 20 states, covering the North East and the Midwest from Maine to the Dakotas. The remaining 30 states and DC are split between the Embassy and the Atlanta consulate, but neither list was on the pages we read, so call the mission before you choose it on the NIS portal.
Choosing the right mission matters because it is part of your NIS application. Pick the wrong one and you may have to travel further than needed or start again. The confusing part is that only one of the three missions publishes its list of states on the pages we could read. This guide sets out what is confirmed, what is not, and how to check.
| Mission | Address | States list published? |
|---|---|---|
| Embassy of Nigeria, Washington DC | 3519 International Court NW, Washington DC 20008 | Not on the pages we read |
| Consulate General, New York | See the consulate's site | Yes, 20 states |
| Consulate General, Atlanta | 8060 Roswell Rd, Atlanta, GA 30350 | Not on the pages we read |
The New York consulate's site lists these 20 states, and the Consul General referred to the same 20-state jurisdiction at a 2023 town hall:
If your state is on this list, choose New York. See renewing at the New York consulate.
The other 30 states, plus DC, are divided between the Embassy and the Atlanta consulate. We did not find either mission's list on the pages we read, and we will not guess. What the sources do show:
The safe step is to phone or email before you apply. The Atlanta consulate lists (770) 394-6261, (770) 394-4671 and info@nigeria-consulate-atl.org. For Houston and Texas specifics, see where Houston residents go; for the capital region, the DC Embassy guide.
On the NIS portal, the processing country and office are part of the application, and the biometric appointment is booked at that office. NIS's refund policy says payments are final once an appointment has been booked, and switching booklet size or making errors after payment are not grounds for a refund. In practice, picking the wrong office can cost the fee as well as the trip. Each mission also sets its own document list and return-envelope rules: New York asks for a USPS overnight or priority envelope and adds a $30 administrative charge, while Atlanta asks for a self-addressed envelope with Post Office postage and lists its own fee page.
Use the mission that covers the state where you now live, and have proof of your new address ready in case the mission asks. If you applied before moving and have not yet booked an appointment, contact NIS support about your options before booking, rather than travelling to your old mission.
Students on campus in one state with a family home in another should ask the mission which address it goes by. The answer can differ, and a quick email saves a wasted journey.
Keep a written record of the answer the mission gives about your state, with the date and the name of the person if you spoke by phone. If you are later asked why you chose that office, the record helps. Missions change arrangements from time to time, so check again if your last renewal was years ago.
For many, the real question is not which mission but how far. Someone in Minneapolis falls under New York; the Consul General described a journey of close to 20 hours. Three options reduce travel:
Wherever you apply, some charges in Nigeria, such as record corrections, are payable in naira. A Pryme account opened from the US holds naira and dollars, so you can pay without relying on someone at home (multicurrency).
No official state list for the Atlanta consulate or the DC Embassy was on the pages we read. The Atlanta consulate held a passport exercise in Houston in 2022, but call to confirm before applying.
Twenty: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Two consulates general, in New York and Atlanta, plus the Embassy in Washington DC, which also handles passports.
Ask the mission before you apply. The centre is part of your NIS application, and NIS does not refund once an appointment is booked.

Nigeria is a mandatory-notification country: US authorities must tell the mission when a Nigerian is held. What the mission can do, and what it cannot.
A child with one Nigerian parent is Nigerian by birth. What the mission needs: proof of the Nigerian parent, consent and the US birth record.
A child who is both American and Nigerian uses the US passport to leave and enter the US, and now needs a valid Nigerian passport to leave Nigeria.
