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.

Power and internet costs for a Nigerian office: a budget

How to budget power and internet for a Nigerian office: Band A tariffs, diesel, solar, Starlink and mobile data, with labelled worked examples.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, operations · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Budget power in three layers: grid electricity (Band A was ₦209.50 per kWh in NERC's July 2025 orders), backup from a generator or solar, and the fuel or battery costs behind it. Budget internet as a main link plus a backup: Starlink Business was reported at ₦159,000 a month in February 2026, and mobile data plans start much lower. Recheck prices every quarter.

Power and internet are often the two lines a diaspora owner underestimates. On paper the office has grid power and a fibre line; in practice it runs a generator several hours a day and keeps a second internet connection for when the first one drops. A realistic budget plans for both.

Grid electricity

Nigerian electricity is billed by band, which depends on the feeder that supplies the building. NERC's July 2025 order for Ikeja Electric, for example, sets Band A at ₦209.50 per kWh for non-maximum-demand and maximum-demand customers, with Bands B to E frozen at their December 2022 rates (Band B non-MD ₦62.48, Band C ₦45.80). The orders set minimum supply of 20 hours a day for Band A, 16 for B, 12 for C, 8 for D and 4 for E. Other DisCos' orders set similar Band A figures with different B to E rates.

Find out your band from the DisCo before you budget; our Nigeria library explains how in how to check your electricity band and challenge it.

Backup power

Diesel generator

Diesel is the most volatile line. Legit.ng reported on 11 October 2026 that Dangote raised its diesel gantry price from ₦1,700 to ₦1,800 per litre, with depot prices listed from about ₦1,340 to ₦2,000. Pump prices to your office will be higher than gantry. PwC notes diesel (AGO) has been VAT-exempt since 1 October 2023. Budget with a monthly fuel log and a price you update every month.

Solar and inverter

Solar swaps a monthly fuel bill for an upfront cost and battery replacement later. As one reported data point, Legit.ng (April 2026) described a buyer paying about ₦3.75 million for a 5kVA inverter, a 5kW lithium battery and eight 590W panels. Prices vary widely by brand and installer; get at least three quotes and ask what the battery warranty covers.

Internet

  • Satellite: TechCabal reported in February 2026 that Starlink Business/Priority reopened in congested cities including Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt at ₦159,000 a month with priority data, and that new residential orders had been blocked in parts of Lagos and Abuja.
  • Mobile data: after the 2025 tariff increase, TechCabal reported Airtel monthly plans such as 25GB for ₦8,000 and unlimited plans of ₦20,000 for 200GB and ₦30,000 for 300GB over 30 days (February 2025 figures). Check current prices with each network.
  • Fibre and fixed wireless: available in parts of the main cities; prices are quoted by provider and building, so ask for a written quote including installation.

For an office that depends on video calls with you abroad, budget a main link and a backup on a different network.

A worked budget

Example only. A 10-person office in Lagos on a Band A feeder, using about 900 kWh a month from the grid, with a generator covering outages. All prices are assumptions for illustration; replace them with your own.

LineAssumptionMonthly (₦)
Grid electricity900 kWh × ₦209.50188,550
Diesel2.5 litres/hour × 3 hours/day × 22 days = 165 litres × ₦1,900 (example pump price)313,500
Generator servicingExample allowance40,000
Main internet (satellite business plan)Reported price, Feb 2026159,000
Backup mobile dataOne unlimited plan, Feb 2025 price20,000
Total721,050

Check: 188,550 + 313,500 + 40,000 + 159,000 + 20,000 = 721,050. Add a contingency of 10–20% for fuel price moves; at ₦2,100 a litre the diesel line alone rises by ₦33,000.

Choosing between generator and solar

The decision turns on three numbers you can collect in a month: how many hours the grid is off during working hours, how many litres the generator burns per hour at your usual load, and the price you pay per litre. Multiply them out for a year and compare with solar quotes for the load you actually need to carry, such as laptops, lights, routers and fans rather than air conditioning. Many offices end up with both: solar and batteries for the daytime base load, and a smaller generator for long outages or heavy equipment. Whatever you choose, budget for maintenance and battery replacement, not just the purchase.

Controls for an owner abroad

  • Keep a generator hours log and fuel delivery receipts; compare litres bought to hours run.
  • Buy diesel from a named supplier against invoices, not cash from a staff member.
  • Ask for the DisCo bill or token receipts each month with the meter reading.
  • Review the budget quarterly; see cash flow forecasting with a volatile naira.
  • If you lease, check what the landlord or service charge covers before budgeting; see leasing office space in Lagos.

Where Pryme fits

Bills in the Pryme app include electricity, airtime and data, so recurring office bills can be paid from the business account and recorded with the rest of your spending. The Finance agent can prepare the monthly cost report; a person approves above a ceiling you set.

Questions people ask

How much is Band A electricity per kWh in Nigeria?

NERC's July 2025 supplementary orders set Band A at ₦209.50 per kWh for most DisCos. Check your DisCo's current order, as some state regulators have set different rates.

How much is diesel in Nigeria now?

Legit.ng reported a Dangote gantry price of ₦1,800 per litre on 11 October 2026, with depot prices from about ₦1,340 to ₦2,000. Pump prices are higher and change often.

How much is Starlink for a business in Nigeria?

TechCabal reported Starlink Business/Priority at ₦159,000 a month in February 2026. Check Starlink's own site for today's price and availability in your area.

Is solar cheaper than a generator for a Nigerian office?

It depends on hours of outage, fuel prices and battery life. Compare the upfront cost with 2–3 years of fuel and servicing using your own logs.
