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

Pryme Solid 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.

The short answer

Choose the option that describes what the money will actually be used for: family support for living costs, education for fees, medical for hospital bills, property for land or building, and goods or services when you are paying for something. UK firms ask because the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 require them to assess the purpose of each transaction and to keep the records for at least five years. An accurate answer rarely causes problems; a wrong one is what triggers holds and questions.

Why the app asks at all

The purpose question comes from law, not curiosity. Regulation 28 of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 tells every relevant firm to identify and verify its customer and to "assess, and where appropriate obtain information on, the purpose and intended nature" of a business relationship or occasional transaction. Paragraph 13 of the same regulation lists the factors a firm must weigh when judging risk, starting with "the purpose of an account, transaction or business relationship", then the size of transactions and their regularity.

Regulation 40 then requires the firm to keep the due diligence documents and enough records to reconstruct each transaction for at least five years after the transaction completes or the relationship ends. So the option you tap today sits in a file that can be read years later, by the firm, its auditors or the authorities.

The usual options and when each fits

Wording varies by provider, and some apps show a short list while others use a longer one. These are the categories you will see most often, with the situations they cover:

Option	Fits when	Does not fit when
Family support / living expenses	Regular money for food, rent, bills or upkeep of relatives	You are paying a trader or contractor for a job
Gift	A one-off present: birthday, wedding, naming ceremony	It is a regular monthly allowance (use family support)
Education	School or university fees, books, exam registration	It is pocket money for a student (family support)
Medical	Hospital bills, medication, treatment for a relative	General support that may partly go on health
Property / construction	Buying land, paying a builder, rent on your own property	A relative's rent you are covering (family support)
Goods or services	Paying a supplier, freelancer or seller	Money to family with no purchase involved
Savings / own account	Moving your own money to your own Nigerian account	The account belongs to someone else

If two options fit, pick the one that best describes the main use and add a note if the app allows. A burial contribution, for example, is often best described as family support, and the note field can say what it is for.

What happens when the purpose does not match

Firms must carry out ongoing monitoring so that transactions stay consistent with what they know about the customer. A pattern that does not fit what you have told them, such as weekly "gifts" of similar amounts to many different people, is the kind of thing that leads to a review. Typical outcomes are:

the transfer is held while the firm asks a question in the app or by email;
you are asked for evidence, such as an invoice, school fee letter or hospital bill;
you are asked about the source of the money (see why apps ask for source of funds);
in repeated cases, the firm stops offering you the service.

None of this means you are suspected of a crime. It means the firm needs its file to make sense. The quickest way through is a short, accurate answer with a document.

Getting it right in common situations

Monthly money to your parents: Family support. Keep the same purpose each month; consistency helps.
Your sister's university fees: Education. If you can pay the institution directly, the record is clearer still.
A wedding gift for a cousin: Gift. A one-off amount fits this label well.
Paying a carpenter for your house in Ibadan: Property or construction, or goods and services if property is not offered.
Topping up your own naira savings: Savings or own account, sent to an account in your own name.
Buying stock from a Kano trader for your UK shop: Goods or services; a business route is often more suitable. See personal transfer or business payment.

What to check first

Is the money paying for something? If yes, it is not a gift.
Is it regular? Regular support is family support, not a gift.
Does the recipient's account match the person you named? Payments to a third party for a relative are worth a note.
Do you hold a document that matches the purpose? Keep it for at least as long as the firm keeps its record.

The app may also ask how you know the recipient; why apps ask your relationship to the recipient explains that question.

Where Pryme fits

When you send from a Pryme account through Send, the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve, and you can generate a regular or a verifiable receipt for the payment (receipts). A verifiable receipt is a record anyone can check is genuine and unaltered, which helps if a purpose is ever questioned. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's activities are carried out through regulated partners.

Questions people ask

Does choosing gift instead of family support matter?

It can. A gift is usually a one-off present, while family support is regular money for living costs. Choose the one that matches, because firms monitor whether your pattern fits what you told them.

Can I change the purpose after I have sent the money?

Usually not in the app. If you chose the wrong option, contact the provider's support, explain the correct purpose and keep any document that supports it.

Will the wrong purpose get my transfer blocked?

Not always, but a purpose that does not match the payment is a common reason for holds and document requests. A correct purpose with a matching document is the quickest route.

Is there a numeric purpose code for UK to Nigeria transfers?

Most UK apps show plain-language options rather than numbers. If a bank's international payment form asks for a code, ask the bank which list it uses and keep a note of what you chose.
