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.

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.

The end-of-day sweep habit for drivers, riders, artisans and traders: a fixed share every evening, a maintenance fund and a plan for bad days.
When income arrives daily, save daily: at the end of each working day, sweep a fixed share or fixed amount of what is left after running costs into a separate account. In a labelled driver example, ₦1,500 a day for savings and ₦2,000 for vehicle upkeep builds ₦36,000 and ₦48,000 over 24 working days.
Most savings tips assume a salary that lands once a month. Drivers, okada and keke riders, artisans, hairdressers and small traders get paid many times a day, in different amounts, and pay costs out of the same pocket. By the end of the month there is no lump sum to save; it has been spent in small pieces. The answer is to shrink the saving period to one day.
The habit has three steps, done every evening before you go home:
You can sweep a fixed percentage (for example 10% of net) or a fixed amount (for example ₦1,500). A percentage adjusts to good and bad days; a fixed amount is easier to remember. Many people use a fixed amount with a rule: on a very good day, sweep double.
Example only. A ride-hailing driver nets ₦15,000 a day after fuel and the vehicle owner's payment, working 24 days a month.
| Sweep | Daily | Over 24 days |
|---|---|---|
| Personal savings | ₦1,500 | ₦36,000 |
| Vehicle maintenance fund | ₦2,000 | ₦48,000 |
| Take-home for household | ₦11,500 | ₦276,000 |
| Total net | ₦15,000 | ₦360,000 |
The maintenance fund matters as much as savings. Tyres, brake pads and servicing come round predictably, and a car or motorcycle off the road earns nothing. Vehicle papers are another known cost: the Lagos Motor Vehicle Administration Agency's price list (as at June 2025) puts a hackney (taxi) licence at ₦3,525 and a private vehicle licence for a 1.6 to 2.0 litre engine at ₦1,875, before other papers such as insurance and roadworthiness. Check your state's current fees.
If you work for a vehicle owner on a hire-purchase or 'work and pay' arrangement, read the agreement carefully and keep your own record of every payment. Your savings sweep should come after that payment, not instead of it, because missing it can cost you the vehicle and everything already paid. Once the vehicle is fully yours, the old payment becomes your biggest savings opportunity.
Keep the savings sweep out of the account you use for fuel and daily spending. A bank savings account, a savings app plan or a microfinance bank account all work if they let you deposit small amounts by transfer at any hour. Check the institution is licensed; the NDIC insures deposits up to ₦2 million per depositor at microfinance banks and ₦5 million at commercial banks, as reported in May 2024.
Daily thrift collectors are popular because they come to you. They also carry the risk of a collector who disappears. Our explainer on daily thrift collection sets out what to check.
Daily sweeps work better with a named target. At the end of each month, move the month's sweeps into a locked plan for something specific: a down payment on your own vehicle so you stop paying an owner, new tools, a shop deposit or a child's fees. A driver paying a weekly hire charge, for example, can work out how many months of sweeps would cover a deposit on a vehicle of their own, and see the date move closer each month.
Keep a simple log: date, net earnings, amount swept. After a few months, you will see your true average day, which makes every other money decision easier, including whether a loan's repayments would fit.
Daily earners usually have no employer pension. PenCom's 2023 FAQ explains that self-employed people can join the Contributory Pension Scheme through the Micro Pension Plan, by opening a retirement savings account with a pension fund administrator. Once your sweep habit is steady, consider sending a share of each month's savings there.
A Pryme account lets you sweep into a Flexible Box each evening and lock a monthly total in a Fixed Box. Your Personal Assistant can remind you at closing time and prepare the transfer for you to approve. Traders keeping stock money apart may also find saving as a market trader useful.
At the end of each day, after fuel and remittance, move a fixed amount or share of what is left into a separate account, plus a separate amount for vehicle maintenance.
Many people start with about 10% of net daily earnings, with a small minimum such as ₦500 on bad days.
It depends on the collector or group. Keep records and prefer a licensed institution for larger sums.
Yes. PenCom's Micro Pension Plan lets self-employed people open a retirement savings account with a PFA.
