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.

Remitly stablecoin transfers to Nigeria: what they are

Remitly lists a crypto wallet payout and a USD to USDC fee table for Nigeria. What a stablecoin transfer is, what Remitly explains and the risks.

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

Remitly's US page for Nigeria lists "Crypto wallet" as a delivery method, and its Nigeria pricing page carries a fee table for sending USD to USDC, a dollar-linked stablecoin, with $0 for Economy and $3.99 for Express as at October 2026. Remitly's pages do not explain who can use it or which wallets it pays, so check the app. A stablecoin is not a bank deposit: it is not FDIC-insured, and in Nigeria turning it into naira runs through platforms regulated by the SEC.

Most transfers from the US to Nigeria end as naira in a bank account or wallet. Remitly now also lists a crypto wallet as a way to receive money, and its pricing page for Nigeria shows fees for sending US dollars as USDC. This guide explains what that means, what Remitly's own pages say and do not say as at October 2026, and the risks to weigh before you use it.

What Remitly's pages say

Two Remitly pages touch on this, and neither goes into detail.

  • Remitly's US page for Nigeria lists "Crypto wallet" among the delivery methods, alongside bank deposit, cash pickup, mobile wallet, home delivery and debit card deposit. It gives no further detail.
  • Remitly's Nigeria pricing page has a fee table headed "Fees for when you send from USD to USDC", showing $0 for Economy and $3.99 for Express for any amount. The same page also says "enjoy no fees on all transfers" for USD to NGN, and does not say whether the table applies to naira sends.

We could not find a Remitly page that sets out who can receive USDC in Nigeria, which wallets are supported, or how the recipient then converts it. Treat those points as unconfirmed and read what the app shows before you choose this option.

What a stablecoin is

A stablecoin is a crypto token designed to keep a steady value against a currency, here the US dollar. USDC is one of the best known. Instead of landing as naira in a Nigerian bank, the money lands as tokens in a crypto wallet that the recipient controls. To spend it locally, the recipient usually has to sell it for naira through an exchange or another platform, or pass it on to someone else.

Turning it into nairaAlready nairaA separate sale, with its own rate and fee
If the address is wrongBank or wallet may be able to trace itTokens sent to a wrong address may be unrecoverable

The rules on each side

In the US

The FDIC is clear that deposit insurance does not cover crypto assets. The IRS treats digital assets as property rather than currency, and selling or exchanging them can be a reportable event; if your recipient is a US taxpayer too, or if you hold the tokens yourself first, that matters. This is information, not tax advice.

In Nigeria

The CBN's December 2023 guidelines allowed banks to open accounts for virtual asset service providers but kept the rule that banks may not hold, trade or transact in virtual currencies on their own account. The Investment and Securities Act 2025 treats virtual and digital assets as securities and requires virtual asset service providers to register with the SEC. In practice, the platform your recipient uses to sell USDC for naira should be one the SEC has registered or admitted to its incubation programme. Separately, the CBN requires licensed money transfer operators to pay recipients in naira; Remitly's pages do not explain how its crypto wallet option sits alongside that rule.

Risks to understand

  • Two rates, not one. You pay Remitly's conversion into USDC, then your recipient pays a second spread when selling for naira.
  • No deposit insurance. Tokens in a wallet are not an insured bank balance.
  • Address errors. A mistyped wallet address or the wrong network can mean the money cannot be recovered.
  • Scams. The FTC warns that only scammers demand payment in crypto in advance and that guaranteed returns are a red flag. If someone has asked you to send stablecoin rather than naira, pause.
  • Platform risk. The recipient depends on the exchange they sell through being reliable and properly registered.

Our guide to sending crypto to Nigeria legally covers the wider rules, and crypto investment club red flags covers the scams that circulate among Nigerians in the US.

Worked example

Example only. Tunde in Atlanta sends $300 to his cousin, who freelances and already uses an SEC-registered exchange. In the Remitly app he would see the fee for the speed he chooses and the amount of USDC delivered. His cousin then sells the USDC for naira on the exchange, which applies its own rate and fee. The naira that finally reaches his cousin's bank account is the result of both conversions, so Tunde compares it with what a direct naira payout would have delivered that day. For his aunt, who only uses a bank account, a naira payout is simpler.

What to check first

  1. Confirm in the Remitly app that the crypto wallet option is offered for your recipient and which network and wallet types it supports.
  2. Check that your recipient knows how to receive and sell USDC, and through which registered platform.
  3. Compare the naira your recipient would end up with against a direct naira payout.
  4. Copy the wallet address exactly and test with a small amount first.

Where Pryme fits

Pryme does not handle crypto. For money you want to keep in dollars or move into naira yourself, a Pryme multicurrency account holds both, and Swap shows the rate and fee before you approve. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's services are provided through regulated partners.

Questions people ask

Does Remitly send USDC to Nigeria?

Remitly lists a crypto wallet delivery method for Nigeria and a USD to USDC fee table. Check the app for whether it is offered to your recipient.

How much does Remitly charge to send USDC?

Its Nigeria pricing page showed $0 for Economy and $3.99 for Express in a table headed USD to USDC, as at October 2026.

Is a stablecoin the same as dollars in a bank?

No. The FDIC says crypto assets are not covered by deposit insurance, and the value depends on the token and the platform.

Can my recipient change USDC to naira legally?

Nigeria's ISA 2025 requires crypto service providers to register with the SEC, so the recipient should use a registered platform.
