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.

Ghana now reserves informal retail for its citizens and sets a high cash test for foreign traders. Here is what a Nigerian fashion seller can do lawfully.
A Nigerian can sell fashion into Accra, but not as a market stall or kiosk trader: Ghana's GIPA Act, 2026 (Act 1117) reserves informal retail for Ghanaians. A non-citizen trading business (buying and reselling goods) must meet a US$500,000 cash equity test, so most Nigerian fashion sellers either supply Ghanaian retailers, sell through formal retail, or register a business whose activity is making rather than reselling.
Ghana replaced its 2013 investment law in 2026. The Ghana News Agency (18 August 2026) reports the GIPA Act, 2026 (Act 1117) and states that informal retail (open markets, small shops and kiosks) is reserved exclusively for Ghanaians, while formal retail such as malls and supermarkets is open subject to the law. The old Ghana Investment Promotion Centre has become the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA).
Two numbers matter for a Nigerian seller. Afriwise's summary of the bill (30 April 2026) and Modern Ghana's report on the passed Act (21 July 2026) both say a non-citizen trading enterprise needs US$500,000 of equity in cash, replacing the old rule that allowed part of it in imported goods. Afriwise adds that at least 75% of the trading workforce must be skilled Ghanaians and that the test also reaches Ghanaian-owned trading firms with a non-citizen beneficial owner or director. Check the gazetted Act before you rely on the workforce figure, as the Afriwise note was written before assent.
GNA reports that a non-citizen in a reserved activity faces 5,000 to 10,000 penalty units (GH¢60,000 to GH¢120,000 at GH¢12 per unit), plus a continuing penalty of 500 to 1,000 units a month. Letting or subletting a market stall or store to a foreigner for trading is itself an offence. Afriwise notes the Act also prohibits fronting, meaning hiding non-Ghanaian ownership or control behind a Ghanaian name.
Many Nigerians assume ECOWAS free movement gives a right to trade anywhere in the region. It has not stopped Ghana reserving activities for its own citizens, as the new Act shows. GNA reports that Ghana's trade ministry and foreign ministry plan to engage diplomatic missions on the ECOWAS framework, which tells you the question is live rather than resolved in the trader's favour. Our page on retail reserved for Ghanaians goes through the history of shop closures.
| Route | How it works | Main rule to check |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale to Ghanaian retailers | You export from Nigeria; a Ghanaian boutique or market trader buys and resells | Their import paperwork and duty; you stay outside Ghanaian retail |
| Formal retail | Concession in a mall or department store, or own store in formal retail | GIPA registration and the US$500,000 trading test |
| Design and make in Ghana | A tailoring or garment business that produces its own pieces | Whether GIPA treats your activity as manufacturing or trading |
| Online orders shipped from Nigeria | Customer in Accra pays, parcel is sent and cleared | Ghana customs on arrival; buyer may pay duty |
| Pop-ups and fairs | Short events run by an organiser | The organiser's permits and your immigration status |
The made-in-Ghana route deserves care. Mondaq's note on the new regime defines trading as buying and reselling goods in the same or substantially the same condition. A workshop that cuts and sews its own designs from fabric is doing something different from a shop reselling finished ankara outfits, but the line between them is GIPA's to draw, so get its view in writing before you invest.
Any company with foreign participation must register with GIPA before it starts operating, after incorporating under the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992). GIPA registration now lasts one year and is renewed annually. The steps and documents are in our guides to registering a company in Ghana as a Nigerian and the trading capital rule. Importing fabric for a Ghanaian business also brings in customs duty on the cloth itself; see duty on Nigerian fabric.
Example only. A Lagos designer wants to sell in Accra. Renting a stall in Makola in her own name would breach the reserved-activity rule, and a Ghanaian friend holding the stall for her would risk the fronting and subletting offences. A safer plan is to sell collections wholesale to three Ghanaian boutiques on invoice, take online orders shipped from Lagos, and only consider a formal-retail company once the business can meet the US$500,000 cash test.
A Nigerian designer selling wholesale can invoice Ghanaian buyers from a Pryme Business account and receive dollars, pounds, euros or naira; Swap converts only when you choose. Outside Nigeria, Pryme works through regulated partners, and the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve.
Not to trade in it. GNA reports that informal retail, including open markets and small shops, is reserved for Ghanaians under the GIPA Act, 2026, and letting a stall to a foreigner for trading is an offence.
Reports of the new Act give US$500,000 in cash equity for a non-citizen trading enterprise. Confirm with GIPA before you plan around it.
It gives rights of entry and residence; setting up a business remains subject to Ghanaian law, including the reserved-retail rule.
Yes, shipping orders from Nigeria to buyers in Ghana is different from running a retail shop there. The parcel still goes through Ghana customs on arrival.
