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 Uyo: NIS office and how to apply

How to apply for a Nigerian passport from Uyo: official NIS fees by booklet, documents, step-by-step portal process, timelines and touts to avoid.

PE
Pryme editorialCities desk, Uyo · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

You apply and pay for a Nigerian passport online on the NIS portal, choose the Akwa Ibom processing centre, then attend the Uyo office for biometrics. As at October 2026 the official fee is ₦100,000 for a 32-page, 5-year booklet and ₦200,000 for a 64-page, 10-year booklet, plus bank charges. The NIS targets 42 days after enrolment for a fresh passport and 21 days for renewal.

Applying for a Nigerian passport from Uyo follows the same national process as anywhere else in the country: you apply and pay online, then attend a passport office for biometric capture and later for collection. What differs is only the office you choose. This guide covers the official fees, the documents, the steps and the timelines the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has published, and the checks that keep you away from touts.

Official passport fees as at October 2026

The NIS raised standard passport fees for applications made in Nigeria from 1 September 2025 (NIS release, 28 August 2025). Its 2026 Service Level Agreement (April 2026) lists the same figures and notes that fees exclude bank charges.

BookletValidityFee in NigeriaFee for diaspora applicants
32 pages5 years₦100,000US$150
64 pages10 years₦200,000US$230

The SLA also lists a ₦30,000 non-refundable administrative fee for correction of data. Check the portal before you pay, since fees can be reviewed again. Our guide to Nigerian passport fees in 2026 covers other categories.

The passport office in Uyo

The NIS has an Akwa Ibom State Command operating from Uyo (Voice of Nigeria, January 2023). We could not confirm a current street address for the Uyo passport office from an official NIS page, so do not rely on directions passed around online. When you apply, the portal asks you to choose a processing centre; pick the Akwa Ibom option it lists and use the address shown on your appointment slip. Office hours in the 2026 SLA are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.

How to apply: the steps

The NIS describes the process for a fresh standard passport as follows:

  1. Go to the NIS passport portal and choose to apply for a fresh passport (or renewal/reissue if you already have one).
  2. Verify your NIN with your date of birth. Your details are drawn from your NIMC record, so fix any NIN errors first.
  3. Choose your processing centre and booklet type, 32 or 64 pages.
  4. Upload a passport photograph that meets ICAO standards.
  5. Add your email, contact address and next of kin, then upload supporting documents.
  6. Submit, pay online and book a biometric enrolment appointment.
  7. Attend the chosen office in person on your appointment date for biometric capture.

Documents to have ready

  • NIN slip or record.
  • Birth certificate, or a High Court age declaration where the birth certificate is not available.
  • Local government or state of origin (indigene) letter.
  • A passport photograph to ICAO standard, the same one you uploaded.

Extra documents apply to some applicants, such as minors, married women changing their name or government staff, and the portal asks for them by application type. Check the requirements on the NIS site before your appointment rather than relying on an agent's list.

How long it takes

The NIS 2026 SLA sets these turnaround times, counted after enrolment:

Fresh passport
42 days
Renewal or reissue
21 days
Correction of data
21 days
Contactless (abroad)
21 days

These are service targets, not promises, and collection can take longer if you do not check your status. Keep your application ID and track it online before travelling to collect.

Planning around your travel date

Most problems with passports in Uyo come from leaving the application too late. Work backwards from the date you need the booklet in hand. If a visa appointment, school admission or job start depends on it, allow the full SLA period plus time to travel to the office twice, once for capture and once for collection. A labelled example: if your visa appointment is on 15 March and you are applying for a fresh passport, 42 days before that is 1 February, so enrolment should happen in January at the latest, with a margin for delays.

Correction of data, such as a wrong date of birth or name spelling, is a separate service with its own ₦30,000 administrative fee in the 2026 SLA and a 21-day target. Because passport details are drawn from your NIN record, correct the NIN first, then apply. Budget for the fee, bank charges and transport into Uyo on each visit, and keep every receipt and slip until the booklet is collected.

Avoiding touts and payment fraud

In May 2026 the NIS said its passport portal is the sole authorised platform for passport payments, and that no religious body, private organisation or individual is authorised to act as an intermediary; payments outside approved channels are at the payer's risk (NAN, May 2026).

  • Pay only on the official portal and keep the payment reference.
  • Never pay an extra cash fee to speed up processing.
  • Refunds are limited: the NIS refund policy covers double payment or cases with no appointment booked, and requests must be made within 21 days of payment. Errors after payment and switching between 32 and 64 pages are not refunded.

What to check first

  1. Your NIN details match your birth certificate exactly.
  2. Your photo meets the ICAO standard.
  3. You chose the Akwa Ibom processing centre before paying.
  4. You have the fee plus bank charges ready in your account.

Where Pryme fits

If you are saving towards the fee, a Savings Box can hold the money until the day you apply. Nigerians applying from abroad pay in dollars; a Pryme account holds USD alongside naira, with local account details for each.

Questions people ask

How much is passport in Uyo now?

The NIS fee as at October 2026 is ₦100,000 for a 32-page, 5-year passport and ₦200,000 for a 64-page, 10-year passport, plus bank charges. These fees took effect on 1 September 2025.

Where is the passport office in Uyo?

The NIS Akwa Ibom State Command operates from Uyo. Choose the Akwa Ibom processing centre on the portal and use the address on your appointment slip, as we could not confirm a street address from an official NIS page.

How long does it take to get a passport in Akwa Ibom?

The NIS 2026 Service Level Agreement targets 42 days after enrolment for a fresh passport and 21 days for renewal.

Can I get a refund if I paid for the wrong booklet?

No. The NIS refund policy says switching between 32 and 64 pages is not refunded. Refunds cover double payment or no appointment booked, requested within 21 days.
