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 Makurdi: the Benue immigration office steps

Apply or renew a Nigerian passport from Makurdi: the online steps, fees from 1 September 2025, documents, waiting times and how to avoid touts.

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

From Makurdi you apply or renew online at passport.immigration.gov.ng, pay there, and then attend the Nigeria Immigration Service passport office you chose in Benue for biometrics. Since 1 September 2025 the fee for applications in Nigeria is ₦100,000 for a 32-page, five-year booklet and ₦200,000 for a 64-page, ten-year booklet.

How a passport application works from Makurdi

Every Nigerian passport application now starts online. The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) portal pulls your personal details from your National Identification Number (NIN) record, so the passport will carry whatever NIMC holds about you. You choose a processing centre during the application, pay, and book a biometric appointment. Applicants living in Makurdi normally pick the NIS passport office of the Benue State Command in Makurdi.

Steps for a fresh passport

The NIS page on applying for a standard passport sets out the sequence:

  1. Go to passport.immigration.gov.ng and choose "Apply for Fresh Passport".
  2. Verify your NIN and date of birth. If your NIN details are wrong, fix them first; see our NIN guide for Makurdi.
  3. Choose the processing centre and the booklet: 32 or 64 pages.
  4. Upload a passport photograph that meets the ICAO standard, then confirm the details pulled from NIMC and add your email.
  5. Enter your contact address and next of kin, and upload the supporting documents for your application type.
  6. Submit, pay on the portal, and book your biometric appointment.
  7. Attend the chosen office in Makurdi on the appointment date for fingerprints and photograph.

Documents for adults

The NIS Service Level Agreement 2026 lists, for fresh applications, your NIN slip, a birth certificate or High Court age declaration, a local government or indigene certificate and an ICAO-compliant photograph. Bring the originals and copies to your appointment. If you are married and using your married name, bring the marriage certificate.

Passports for children

For applicants under 18, the NIS passports page asks for the application form and one photograph endorsed by the consenting parent, evidence that the parents are Nigerian citizens, an NPC birth certificate if the child was born in Nigeria, and a letter of consent from either parent. The child must attend the biometric appointment in person, so plan the Makurdi visit around school hours.

Renewal from Makurdi

Renewal follows the same path through "Apply for Renewal/Reissue" on the portal. You also enter your current passport details, which the system compares with your NIN data, and then you pay and book biometrics. Take your old booklet with you to the appointment. A mismatch between your old passport and your NIN, such as a changed surname, is treated as a change of data and needs its own documents.

Fees and waiting times as at October 2026

ItemOfficial figureSource
32-page, 5-year passport (in Nigeria)₦100,000NIS release, 28 Aug 2025; effective 1 Sep 2025
64-page, 10-year passport (in Nigeria)₦200,000NIS release, 28 Aug 2025
Correction of data (administrative charge)₦30,000, non-refundableNIS SLA 2026
Fresh passport after enrolment42 daysNIS SLA 2026
Renewal or reissue after enrolment21 daysNIS SLA 2026

The SLA notes that fees exclude bank charges, so expect a small extra amount on top when you pay. Office hours under the SLA are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.

Worked example (illustrative): a Makurdi family renewing two adult passports, one 64-page and one 32-page, pays ₦200,000 + ₦100,000 = ₦300,000 in passport fees, plus bank charges and transport to the office for two biometric visits. If one of them also needs a name correction, add ₦30,000, bringing the fees to ₦330,000.

Avoiding touts and wasted payments

NIS has repeatedly said the portal is the only authorised payment platform. On 5 May 2026 NAN reported an NIS spokesman saying no religious body, private organisation or individual is authorised to collect passport payments, and that money paid outside approved channels is at the payer's risk. Around passport offices in many cities, people offer to "speed up" applications for cash; they cannot change the official process.

  • Pay only on passport.immigration.gov.ng and keep the payment reference.
  • Check your 32- or 64-page choice before paying. The NIS refund policy says switching booklet type after payment is not refundable.
  • Refunds are only considered for double payment or where no appointment was booked; requests must be made within 21 days of payment.
  • If the office tells you to pay extra in cash, ask for the official basis in writing and report it to the NIS SERVICOM desk.

For wider safety advice, read common money scams in Makurdi.

What to check first

  • Your NIN details match your birth certificate and old passport.
  • You have a clear ICAO-standard photo ready to upload.
  • You have the right booklet budget: ₦100,000 or ₦200,000 plus bank charges.
  • You have confirmed the Makurdi office hours and your appointment slot.

Where Pryme fits

If you are saving towards a passport before travel, a Naira Savings Box in the Pryme app keeps the fee separate from daily spending. Pryme customers can also generate a verifiable statement through our partnership with VerifyDoc.ai, which helps where an embassy or school asks for proof of funds later; see receipts and statements.

Questions people ask

How much is international passport in Makurdi now?

The same as anywhere in Nigeria: ₦100,000 for a 32-page, five-year booklet and ₦200,000 for a 64-page, ten-year booklet, effective 1 September 2025, plus bank charges.

Where is the passport office in Makurdi?

Passport services are handled by the NIS Benue State Command in Makurdi. Select the Makurdi centre on the portal and confirm the address with the NIS contact centre before you travel.

How long does passport take in Benue?

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

Can I pay for my passport at the immigration office?

No. NIS says the portal at passport.immigration.gov.ng is the only authorised payment platform. Payments through agents are at your own risk.
