Ten years, one trunk

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.

2018OjirehPrime Card

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.

Non-interest banks in Nigeria: the CBN list and how they work

The six non-interest banks on the CBN's list as of October 2026, how non-interest windows differ, capital rules and the CBN instruments they use.

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

As of 17 October 2026 the CBN's non-interest bank list has six names: Alternative Bank Limited, Jaiz Bank Plc, Lotus Bank Ltd, Mint Microfinance Bank Limited, Summit Bank Limited and TAJ. Conventional banks can also run non-interest windows, which the NDIC lists as a separate insured category.

Non-interest banks on the CBN list (as of 17 October 2026)

#Name as shown on the CBN listNotes
1Alternative Bank LimitedNon-interest bank
2JAIZ BANK PLCNon-interest bank
3LOTUS BANK LTDNon-interest bank
4Mint Microfinance Bank LimitedListed by the CBN under non-interest banks; the name indicates a microfinance licence
5SUMMIT BANK LIMITEDNon-interest bank
6TAJThe CBN list shows the short name only

A non-interest bank offers accounts and finance built on contracts that do not pay or charge interest, such as profit-sharing, cost-plus sale and lease structures. Many of these follow Islamic commercial law, but the CBN's term is "non-interest" and the products are open to anyone. For how this fits with other licence types, see our list of deposit money banks by licence category.

Full-fledged banks, windows and non-interest microfinance banks

FormWhat it isWhere to check it
Full-fledged non-interest bankA bank whose whole business is non-interestCBN non-interest bank list
Non-interest windowA department of a conventional commercial bank that offers non-interest products, ring-fenced from the rest of the bankNDIC directory, category "Non-Interest Window Banks"
Non-interest microfinance bankA microfinance bank licensed to operate on non-interest principles under CBN guidelines of 6 April 2017CBN microfinance bank list and the bank's own licence

The distinction matters for deposit insurance. The NDIC runs a separate Non-Interest Deposit Insurance Fund (NIDIF) for non-interest banks and a Non-Interest Special Insured Institutions Fund (NISIF), alongside its funds for conventional banks, so money placed under non-interest contracts is protected through funds that are themselves run on non-interest lines.

Capital requirements

AuthorisationMinimum capital (CBN review, 28 March 2024)Compliance deadline
Non-interest bank, national₦20 billion31 March 2026
Non-interest bank, regional₦10 billion31 March 2026

These are far below the ₦200 billion set for a national commercial bank, which reflects the smaller size of the segment. The CBN list does not say which authorisation each bank holds; the bank's annual report or website will.

CBN rules and instruments for non-interest finance: a dated list

The CBN has issued a series of rules and liquidity instruments for non-interest institutions. The list below is taken from the CBN's circulars archive, with the dates the CBN gives.

DateCBN document
13 Feb 2015Guideline on the Governance of Advisory Council of Experts for Non-Interest (Islamic) Financial Institutions
20 May 2015Circular on the treatment of Hamish Al Jiddiyyah (earnest deposit)
6 Apr 2017Guidelines on the Regulation and Supervision of Non-Interest (Islamic) Microfinance Banks
24 Aug 2017Introduction of two new instruments for non-interest banks
10 Apr 2019Guidance notes on regulatory capital, credit, market and operational risk, and disclosure for non-interest institutions; final guidelines on Islamic Financial Services Board standards
9 Jun 2022Revised Guidelines for the Operation of Non-Interest Financial Institutions' Instruments; framework for CBN Non-Interest Asset-Backed Securities
23 May 2025Deployment of the Nigerian Non-Interest Financial Institutions' Master Repurchase Agreement (NNMRA) and start of auctions of CBN non-interest asset-backed securities (CNI-ABS) and CBN Non-Interest Notes (CNIN)

The 2025 step matters for depositors indirectly: it gives non-interest banks a way to place surplus cash and borrow short-term without paying or earning interest, which conventional banks do through the money market.

How to choose and check a non-interest account

  • Confirm the institution on the CBN list, or confirm that its conventional parent runs a non-interest window listed by the NDIC.
  • Ask which contract the account uses (for example a profit-sharing investment account or a safe-keeping current account), and how profit is calculated and shared.
  • Ask whether returns can be smoothed or reduced. The CBN issued guidelines in April 2019 on smoothing profit payouts to investment account holders.
  • Read the bank's advisory committee of experts statement, which the CBN's governance guidelines require.
  • Check deposit insurance in our guide to NDIC limits, and the general steps in how to check a CBN licence.

How we put this together

Names and count are from the CBN's non-interest bank list, read on 17 October 2026 via the CBN financial-institutions index. Window banks and insurance funds are from the NDIC's insured-banks directory and FAQ pages. Capital figures are from the CBN's March 2024 capital review; the CBN's PDF server blocked automated download on our access date, so they reflect the circular as published and widely reported. Dated documents are from the CBN circulars archive index; we list titles and dates and have not summarised content we could not open.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme offers an Interest-free Box for naira savings, which earns nothing by design; it is not a non-interest bank account. Rates for other Boxes are shown in the app. See Savings Boxes.

Questions people ask

How many Islamic banks are in Nigeria?

The CBN uses the term non-interest bank. Its list shows six as of 17 October 2026: Alternative Bank, Jaiz Bank, Lotus Bank, Mint Microfinance Bank, Summit Bank and TAJ.

Can non-Muslims open an account with a non-interest bank?

Yes. Non-interest banks are open to all customers. The products avoid interest but are ordinary bank accounts in every other respect.

What is a non-interest window?

A ring-fenced department of a conventional bank that offers non-interest products. The NDIC lists these as Non-Interest Window Banks.

Are non-interest bank deposits insured?

Yes. The NDIC runs a Non-Interest Deposit Insurance Fund for non-interest banks, so eligible deposits are covered up to the applicable limit.
