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 Lagos salons, barbers and spas can use Spaces to keep chairs full through the month, plan for owambe and December season, and cut rainy-day no-shows.
A Lagos salon, barbershop or spa with a Pryme Business Account can join Spaces and serve customers who hold Loans on Spaces, credit that can only be spent with Spaces merchants. It helps most with bigger planned services, such as bridal and event styling, braids and spa packages, and with keeping regulars booked in the weeks before payday.
In Lagos, the busiest days at a salon are rarely random. Friday and Saturday mornings fill up before weddings, birthdays and burials. December is heavy, with homecomings, end-of-year parties and church events. The weeks before Easter and Sallah are strong too. Between those peaks, many salons in Surulere, Yaba, Ikeja and Lekki see chairs empty on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
The other rhythm is the salary month. Regulars who would book a relaxer, a full set of braids or a massage in the first week after payday often wait in the last week. That gap is where Spaces is most useful.
Spas and salons are a supported Spaces sector, and Spaces is available in Lagos. A customer may be offered a Loan on Spaces by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank. They see the full agreement, accept it before anything is drawn, and can only spend the credit with Spaces merchants. Your salon is paid for the service; the bank manages the lending.
From the customer's side, see Paying for salon and spa visits with Loans on Spaces.
Lagos's rainy season runs from late March to early December, according to the state's Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, with strong winds at the start and end. A heavy afternoon downpour is the most common reason Lagos clients miss appointments. Three habits help:
Traffic makes timing harder still. A client coming from Ikorodu to a salon in Ikeja, or from Ajah to Victoria Island, cannot promise to arrive on the minute. Build a fifteen-minute buffer into long services so one late arrival does not push the whole afternoon back, and tell clients plainly how long you can hold a slot. Salons that run to schedule earn a reputation in Lagos quickly, because it is rare.
Cutting no-shows at your salon or spa sets out deposit wording that clients accept.
Example figures for illustration only.
| Before | Example after three months | |
|---|---|---|
| Chairs | 5 | 5 |
| Midweek chair use | 40% | 55% |
| Average service value | ₦15,000 | ₦17,500 |
| Event bookings a month | 6 | 10 |
| Average event booking | ₦85,000 | ₦85,000 |
The average service value rose because more clients booked the full service they wanted rather than a cheaper partial one. Event bookings increased in the run-up to December. Neither required a price cut. The owner did add one stylist on Saturdays, which paid for itself from the extra event work.
Most salon clients come from within a short walk or ride. A clear sign, a pinned map location, photographs of real work on your WhatsApp catalogue and a line saying you accept Spaces do more than paid adverts. Outdoor signs in Lagos should be registered with LASAA; the agency has removed unregistered signs in busy places such as Computer Village in Ikeja. Keep posted prices the same for every payment method, and confirm transfers have landed before the client leaves.
Event season is when new clients find you. A bride's party of six who each have a good experience become six potential regulars, so take contact details with consent and follow up a month later with a simple offer to book again.
Staffing is the other half of being findable: a client who books the stylist she likes and finds her gone does not come back. How you pay stylists, whether by salary, commission or chair rental, affects who stays. The national guide Paying salon staff in Nigeria compares the three.
A Pryme Business Account takes payments with bank-transfer checkout at 0.5% capped at ₦2,000 and keeps deposits and full payments in one place. A Customer Support agent can prepare booking reminders for you to approve and send, and payroll pays stylists' salaries or commissions in one approved run at month end. Joining Spaces adds clients whose credit can only be spent with Spaces merchants. Ask about merchant terms through the contact page.
Spas and salons are a supported Spaces sector, and barbershops fall within it. Whether a particular shop qualifies is decided in Pryme's merchant process.
Friday and Saturday mornings before weekend events, December, and the weeks before Easter and Sallah. Midweek afternoons are usually the quietest.
Apply the same deposit policy to every client for long or event bookings. A deposit is about the booking, not the payment method.
Outdoor signs in Lagos fall under LASAA, which requires them to be registered. Contact LASAA for the process and fees for your sign.
