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.

Nigerian passport in Kaduna: NIS office and how to apply

Where to do passport biometrics in Kaduna, the online steps on the NIS portal, the official booklet fees and what the NIS says about timelines.

PE
Pryme editorialCities desk, Kaduna · 19 Oct 2026 · 6 min read
The short answer

In Kaduna you apply and pay for a standard Nigerian passport online on the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) portal, then attend biometric capture at the NIS Kaduna State Command, where an e-passport production centre was commissioned in 2023. For applications made in Nigeria the official fee from 1 September 2025 is ₦100,000 for the 32-page, five-year booklet and ₦200,000 for the 64-page, ten-year booklet; the NIS has said it aims to deliver within three to six weeks of biometric capture.

Getting a passport in Kaduna is mostly done before you leave home. The application, the payment and the appointment all happen on the NIS website, and the trip to the immigration office is for your photograph, fingerprints and document check. People who get stuck usually do so for one of three reasons: their NIN record does not match what they typed, they paid someone other than the NIS, or they chose a processing office they cannot easily reach. This guide walks through each step for an applicant living in Kaduna.

Where the passport office is in Kaduna

Passport enrolment for Kaduna residents is handled by the NIS Kaduna State Command. In August 2023 the NIS commissioned an e-Passport Production Centre at the command, so booklets for applicants who enrol there can be produced in the state. The report of that event did not give a street address, and we could not open an official NIS page listing one. When you book your appointment, the portal shows the processing centres you can pick from; choose the Kaduna option and note the address shown on your appointment slip rather than relying on directions from an agent.

If you live in Zaria or further north in the state, check the portal's centre list for any office closer to you before you book. Whichever centre you choose is where you must appear in person and, usually, where you collect the booklet.

Official fees as at October 2026

The NIS announced new fees for standard passports applied for in Nigeria in a release dated 28 August 2025, effective 1 September 2025:

BookletValidityFee for applications in Nigeria
32 pages5 years₦100,000
64 pages10 years₦200,000

The NIS Passports page also lists a 64-page, five-year booklet, but the fee release we read did not give a separate domestic price for it, so check the amount on the portal before you pay. Fees for applications made abroad were left at US$150 and US$230. These are government fees: there is no official "express" or "speed-up" charge to pay to anyone at the office.

How to apply, step by step

  1. Go to the NIS website and choose "Apply for Fresh Passport" (or renewal, if you have an old booklet).
  2. Verify your NIN with your date of birth. Your name, date of birth and other details are drawn from your NIMC record, so any error there must be corrected with NIMC first.
  3. Choose your processing centre (Kaduna) and your booklet type: 32 or 64 pages.
  4. Upload a photograph that meets the ICAO standard: plain background, face fully visible, no glasses glare.
  5. Enter your email, contact address and next of kin, then upload the supporting documents the portal asks for.
  6. Submit, pay the fee online, and book your biometric enrolment appointment.
  7. Attend the appointment at the Kaduna office with your printed slip, payment evidence and original documents.

Documents to have ready

The NIS Passports page lists, for an adult fresh applicant: evidence of citizenship (a National Population Commission birth certificate or an age declaration, plus Nigerian identification), two passport photographs, a guarantor's form signed before a Commissioner for Oaths with a copy of the guarantor's passport data page and photograph, and a marriage certificate where it applies. Minors need a parent's consent and documents as shown on the page. Bring originals and photocopies.

How long it takes

At the Kaduna commissioning in 2023, the NIS said it was committed to delivering passports within three to six weeks after biometric capture, as long as there were no technical problems or discrepancies in the application, such as NIN details that do not match. Treat that as the service's stated aim, not a guarantee. If you have a travel date, book your appointment early and keep proof of every step.

A worked example of the full cost

Example only. An adult in Barnawa applying for the 32-page booklet might spend: ₦100,000 official fee, ₦3,000 for photographs and printing, ₦2,000 for the guarantor form's oath, and ₦4,000 on transport for two trips (enrolment and collection). Total: ₦100,000 + ₦3,000 + ₦2,000 + ₦4,000 = ₦109,000. Only the ₦100,000 is a published NIS figure; the rest are illustrations, and your own costs will differ.

What to check first

  • Your NIN record: name spelling, date of birth and gender must match what you will use on the passport.
  • The fee shown on the portal on the day you pay, in case it has changed since this article.
  • The centre address on your appointment slip.
  • That every payment receipt comes from the NIS portal, not a private account.

If you still need a NIN or need to fix one, see our guide to NIN and BVN enrolment in Kaduna. For other errands in the state, read getting a driver's licence in Kaduna.

Where Pryme fits

Many people apply for a passport because they are planning study or work abroad. A Pryme Personal Account, which can be opened from any country, holds naira, dollars, pounds and euros in one place with local account details for each; see multicurrency accounts. If you need to prove payments to an embassy or school, you can generate a verifiable statement through Pryme's partnership with VerifyDoc.ai: verifiable receipts and statements.

Questions people ask

How much is a Nigerian passport in Kaduna now?

For applications made in Nigeria, the NIS fee from 1 September 2025 is ₦100,000 for the 32-page, five-year booklet and ₦200,000 for the 64-page, ten-year booklet. Check the portal on the day you pay.

Where is the immigration office for passports in Kaduna?

Passport enrolment is done at the NIS Kaduna State Command, which has had an e-passport production centre since 2023. Use the address shown on your appointment slip from the NIS portal.

How long does a passport take in Kaduna?

The NIS has said it aims to deliver within three to six weeks after biometric capture, if there are no technical problems or mismatched NIN details.

Can I pay someone to speed up my passport in Kaduna?

There is no official speed-up fee. Pay only on the NIS portal and report anyone who asks for extra money.
