You are not borrowing. You are selling to somebody who already has the money — and that money can only be spent with a business like yours.

Resolved 4 conversations — two deliveries, one refund.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.
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.
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.
Solid Allianze acquired — an existing bank with an existing licence. The perimeter stopped being someone else’s to draw.
More than one currency on one balance, and the rebrand to Pryme. A Nigerian business could hold dollars without holding a second institution.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to pay a Remita RRR for school fees, levies or government charges from outside Nigeria: generating the RRR, card and bank options, and receipts.
To pay a Remita invoice from abroad, get the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) from the school or agency portal or remita.net, then pay it by card, internet banking or wallet, or have someone in Nigeria pay it at a bank or by USSD. NCC's Remita page lists Mastercard, Verve and Visa cards; whether a particular foreign-issued card will go through is not stated on the official pages we checked, so have a naira route ready.
Universities, examination bodies, regulators and many state agencies in Nigeria collect payments through Remita. Every payment is tied to a Remita Retrieval Reference, or RRR: a unique number generated for that specific charge. From abroad, the RRR is the easy part. Getting the money onto it, in naira, by a route that works with your card or bank, is where people get stuck.
The NCC's payment page describes the RRR as "a unique payment reference for your transaction" and says it should be presented at any payment channel. It carries the payee, the service and the amount. You do not need to know the agency's bank account, and you should not pay a Remita charge into a personal account under any circumstances: the RRR is what tells the agency you paid.
There are two usual routes:
Write the RRR down and keep the screen or PDF that shows it. If the sibling or parent has to generate it on their own login, ask them to send you a screenshot showing the payee name and amount, not just the number.
NCC's page lists these channels for paying an RRR:
| Channel | From abroad? |
|---|---|
| Debit or credit card (Mastercard, Verve, Visa) | Possible with a card that the payment page accepts; foreign-card acceptance is not stated |
| Internet banking | Works if you have a Nigerian bank account with online banking |
| Digital wallet or mobile money | Works with a Nigerian wallet you can fund |
| Bank branch | Someone in Nigeria takes the RRR to a branch |
| Your Remita profile | If you have registered on Remita |
Some Nigerian banks also accept RRRs on USSD. Fidelity Bank's FAQ lists *770*RRR# for Remita payments, for example, which a relative with a Fidelity account can dial. Other banks have their own menus.
We could not find a Remita or agency page confirming that foreign-issued cards are accepted for every biller. Some payers report success, others are declined. If you try, note that your card issuer may charge its own foreign transaction fee and convert at its own rate. If the card fails, do not keep retrying; switch to a naira route.
Techeconomy's guide for diaspora parents (September 2025) notes that Remita issues a receipt once payment goes through and that the payment can be verified with the same RRR. Download the receipt, check that the payee, amount and RRR match, and forward it to the student or relative. Many institutions also want the payment confirmed inside their own portal, which the portal does once it receives Remita's notification.
Whatever the problem, the RRR is the thread that ties it together. Quote it in every message to the institution, and keep the debit evidence from your own bank or card statement alongside the Remita receipt.
Some reports have caused confusion. In March 2025 the Office of the Accountant-General introduced TMRAS, a new system replacing Remita for payments made by federal agencies, as reported by Techeconomy. That concerns how federal agencies pay out, not necessarily how they collect fees from the public. Always generate payment instructions from the institution's own portal on the day, and follow what it shows.
If a card route fails, a naira balance helps. A Pryme account holds naira alongside your local currency, and you can convert with Swap and send to the person in Nigeria who will pay the RRR; the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve. For school fees more broadly, see paying a sibling's university fees directly and paying school fees in Nigeria from abroad.
NCC's Remita page lists Mastercard, Verve and Visa, but we found no official confirmation that every foreign-issued card works. Have a naira route ready if your card is declined.
Log in to the school or agency portal and generate it there, or use remita.net and choose the government, agency and service.
Do not pay again. Check the RRR status on remita.net after a few hours, then contact the institution with the RRR and debit evidence.
Yes. They can pay it at a bank branch, on internet banking or by bank USSD, such as Fidelity's *770*RRR#.
