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.

PenCom service timelines: benefits, 25% withdrawal and refunds

PenCom's May 2026 charter timelines for retirement benefits, the 25% job-loss withdrawal, mortgage equity, death benefits, refunds and transfers.

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

PenCom's revised service charter of May 2026 commits to 2 working days for approving most retirement benefit requests, including programmed withdrawal, annuity, en-bloc payments, the 25% withdrawal after job loss and the use of 25% of an RSA balance as mortgage equity. Refunds of wrongly paid contributions take 10 to 15 working days, accrued rights 60 working days and death benefit claims handled by its Contribution and Bond Redemption Department 30 working days.

Last updated: October 2026

The National Pension Commission (PenCom) publishes a service charter that sets its own timelines and lists the documents it needs for each service. The revised charter is dated May 2026. These are PenCom's timelines for its own step, usually approval; your PFA's processing comes before and after. PenCom's published promise to pensioners is "timely payment of pension" and security of assets. This page tabulates the services most RSA holders and their families need.

For the mortgage option, the charter lists "evidence of additional equity contribution where 25% of the RSA balance is not sufficient", meaning up to 25% of the balance can go towards the equity contribution.

Contribution and Bond Redemption Department

This department handles accrued rights and related payments, mainly for public servants whose service began before the contributory scheme.

NSITF refund5 working days
Complaints and enquiries3 to 5 working daysAcknowledgement day 1; resolution and feedback days 2 and 3

The charter lists multiple-PIN cases under two departments, with different timelines: 3 working days for resolution in the National Databank Department and 30 working days for reconciliation in the Contribution and Bond Redemption Department.

Before you submit a benefit request

  • Confirm your data recapture is complete; PenCom's charter makes it a condition for some services, including multiple-PIN resolution.
  • Check that your name and date of birth match across your RSA, NIN and employer records.
  • Ask your PFA for a current RSA statement and check that every month's contribution appears.
  • Get employer letters (appointment, retirement or acceptance of resignation) on letterhead, signed and dated.
  • Keep copies of everything you hand to your PFA and note the date.

Worked example

Example only. Halima loses her job on 31 January. Her employer accepts her resignation on 3 February. When she qualifies under the job-loss rule, she asks her PFA for 25% of her RSA balance, attaching the acceptance letter and a formal request. Once the PFA submits the request to PenCom, the charter sets 2 working days for PenCom's step. If the case stalls, she can complain to complaints@pencom.gov.ng; see how to complain to PenCom. Who qualifies is set by the Pension Reform Act, explained in how Nigeria's RSA pension system works; the charter itself lists only documents and timelines.

How we compiled this

All timelines and document lists are from PenCom's Revised Service Charter / Service Level Agreement, dated May 2026 and downloaded from pencom.gov.ng in October 2026. Document lists are shortened; the charter has the full requirements. Contact details are from PenCom's contact page. We have not tested how often PenCom meets these timelines; the charter is a commitment, not a performance report. For contribution rates, see pension contributions in Nigeria.

Questions people ask

How long does PenCom take to approve the 25% withdrawal?

Two working days for PenCom's approval step, according to its May 2026 service charter. Your PFA's processing time is separate.

Can I use my pension for a mortgage in Nigeria?

Yes, as equity. The charter requires an offer letter verified by a mortgage lender, a mortgage application and an RSA statement showing at least 60 months of contributions, with a 2-working-day PenCom timeline.

How long do death benefits take?

PenCom's charter sets 2 working days for death benefits requests handled by its Benefits and Insurance Department, and 30 working days for death benefits claims handled by its Contribution and Bond Redemption Department.

How long do RSA transfers take?

PenCom processes transfers under the RSA Transfer System on a quarterly basis.
