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.

How to sell an online course from Nigeria

Where to host a course and get paid as a Nigerian, how to price it in naira and dollars, how to deliver it, and how course income is taxed.

PE
Pryme editorialSelling online desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Pick a platform that pays out in a way you can receive, price for the buyer you are targeting, and deliver through a hosted course page rather than loose files. Nigerian platforms such as Selar take naira and pay Nigerian bank accounts; Selar says naira withdrawals reach your bank within 24 hours and its processing fees start at 4% for naira sales. Course income is taxable income for Nigerian residents under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025.

An online course is a set of lessons, usually video with notes or exercises, that a buyer pays for once and works through at their own pace. People in Nigeria sell courses on Excel, baking, makeup, coding, exam preparation, import business and much else. The skill matters, but so do three practical choices: where the course lives, how buyers pay, and how you price.

Step 1: Decide who is buying

A course for Nigerian buyers is priced and sold in naira, marketed on WhatsApp, Instagram and X, and must play well on phones with limited data. A course for buyers abroad is priced in dollars or pounds, often sold through search and YouTube, and needs a payment route that takes foreign cards. Most first courses do better aimed at one group.

Step 2: Choose where to host and sell

OptionGood forWhat to check
Nigerian creator platform (e.g. Selar)Naira buyers, some foreign currenciesProcessing fee per sale, plan fees, payout timing
International course platformsBuyers abroad, built-in course playerWhether Nigeria is a supported payout country and which payout methods exist
Your own website with a payment gatewayControl and brandingGateway fees, video hosting, who handles access
Private WhatsApp or Telegram groupLive cohortsNo access control once files are shared; harder to scale

Selar, as an example of a Nigerian platform

Selar's own comparison page (modified July 2025) says processing fees "start as low as 4% for NGN transactions to as high as 10% for USD and GHS transactions". It lists a free plan and paid plans at ₦12,000 a month (Pro) and ₦22,500 a month (Turbo), with 20% off annual billing, and says naira withdrawals go to your bank within 24 hours, while other currencies reach your Selar wallet within 4 days. Techpoint Africa reported that Selar paid out ₦9.8 billion to creators in 2024. Check Selar's current pricing before you rely on these figures; see our guide to selling on Selar.

International platforms

Large course marketplaces and course-hosting tools are mostly American. Before you upload anything, open their payout settings and confirm Nigeria is listed and that the payout method is one you can receive. Many pay through PayPal or Payoneer; Nigerian PayPal accounts have historically been unable to receive, so a PayPal-only platform may not work for you. US platforms will also ask for Form W-8BEN, the IRS certificate of foreign status.

Your own site

A payment gateway can take naira and international cards. Flutterwave's Nigerian pricing page, checked October 2026, lists 2% per local transaction and 4.8% for international transactions, with 7.5% VAT on the fees. You then need a way to deliver the course securely, either a course plugin or a hosted video service with private links.

Step 3: Price it

Price on the outcome, not on the number of videos. A course that helps a buyer pass a professional exam or win their first client is worth more than one that covers general theory. Look at what similar courses charge, then decide where you sit.

Worked example (illustrative)

A spreadsheet course priced at ₦25,000, sold on a platform charging, for this example, a 4% processing fee:

  • Fee per sale: ₦25,000 × 4% = ₦1,000. You keep ₦24,000.
  • 40 sales in the launch month: ₦24,000 × 40 = ₦960,000.
  • Less a ₦12,000 monthly plan, if you choose one: ₦948,000 before advertising and your own time.
  • If you spent ₦150,000 on adverts, the month's result is ₦798,000.

Run the same numbers at 10 sales and 100 sales so you know your break-even. Launch prices, early-bird discounts and instalment options all change the maths.

Step 4: Deliver it well

  • Keep videos short (5 to 12 minutes) and offer lower-resolution versions or audio for buyers on mobile data.
  • Give each lesson one outcome and a short task.
  • Add downloadable notes or templates; they are what buyers return to.
  • Offer a support channel for a fixed period, such as a group for 30 days, so you are not answering questions forever.
  • State your refund policy before payment.

Step 5: Taxes and records

If you are resident in Nigeria, course income is income. Under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, as explained by BusinessDay in January 2026, the first ₦800,000 of chargeable income is taxed at 0%, the next ₦2.2 million at 15%, and higher bands rise to 25% above ₦50 million. Self-employed people file an annual self-assessment with the tax authority of their state of residence; BusinessDay reports individual returns are due by 31 March and that the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 sets a ₦100,000 penalty for the first month of late filing. Keep platform statements and expense receipts. This is information, not tax advice; see tax for content creators.

Where Pryme fits

If you register a business, a Pryme Business Account offers bank-transfer checkout free of charge, which can suit higher-priced courses paid by transfer. Payments from buyers abroad can arrive in USD, GBP or EUR on a multicurrency account, and verifiable receipts give buyers a record they can check.

Questions people ask

What is the best platform to sell online courses in Nigeria?

For naira buyers, a Nigerian creator platform such as Selar is common because it pays Nigerian banks. For buyers abroad, check that an international platform supports Nigerian payouts first.

How much should I charge for my online course in Nigeria?

Price on the result the buyer gets and on what similar courses charge. Work out your break-even at different sales levels after platform fees and advertising.

Do I pay tax on online course income in Nigeria?

If you are tax-resident, yes. Under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 the first ₦800,000 of chargeable income is at 0% and higher bands apply above it. File a self-assessment with your state tax authority.

Can I sell my course on Udemy from Nigeria?

Check the platform's instructor payout settings for Nigeria and the payout methods offered. We could not confirm current Nigeria payout support from its own pages in October 2026.
