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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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.

Shipping a container from Dublin to Lagos: steps and paperwork

The Irish export declaration, EORI, 24-hour AES rule, bill of lading, and the Form M, SONCAP and PAAR your Lagos buyer needs.

PE
Pryme editorialTrade desk, Dublin · 24 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

To ship a container from Dublin to Lagos you need an EORI number and an export declaration in Revenue's AES lodged at least 24 hours before loading, plus a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. On the Nigerian side, the buyer must have a registered Form M before you ship, regulated goods need SONCAP certificates, and Customs clears the goods against a PAAR generated from that Form M.

Sending a full container from Dublin to Lagos involves two sets of paperwork that have to meet in the middle: the Irish export side, run through Revenue's systems, and the Nigerian import side, run by your buyer, its bank and the Nigeria Customs Service. Most delays happen where those two sets do not match. This guide sets out both, in the order you will meet them.

Before you book: what Nigeria needs first

On the Nigerian side, nothing should move until your buyer has a registered Form M. Sterling Bank's Form M FAQ says the importer files it through its bank on the Single Window portal, and that suppliers may be told to ship only after the Nigeria Customs Service has registered it. For regulated goods you also need a SONCAP Product Certificate, which SON's FAQ says is issued to the exporter and used to open the Form M. Food and medicines need NAFDAC registration rather than SONCAP; cosmetics need NAFDAC registration, and the accredited firm can say whether SONCAP also applies.

  • Registered Form M number from the buyer, with the payment method recorded.
  • SONCAP Product Certificate, or NAFDAC registration, as the goods require.
  • Confirmation that nothing in the load is on Nigeria's import prohibition list; see the used clothing rule for one common trap.

The Irish export side

EORI and who lodges the declaration

Revenue's Customs Export Procedures manual (last updated April 2025) says a declarant must be registered for EORI and that traders exporting regularly need an EORI number. Declarations are made by a person able to present the goods to customs; if that is not you, the exporter must appoint them. Most small exporters use a customs agent or freight forwarder, acting either in your name (direct representation) or in its own name on your behalf (indirect representation, where it shares responsibility). Revenue says a representative must be established in the EU. Our guide to getting an EORI number covers registration.

The AES declaration and its timing

Export declarations are lodged in Revenue's Automated Export System, which allocates an 18-digit Movement Reference Number (MRN). For containerised sea cargo other than short-sea routes, Revenue's manual says the declaration must be lodged at least 24 hours before loading begins at the port of exit. A Dublin to Lagos container is deep-sea, so plan for that 24-hour rule, not the two-hour short-sea one.

Exit confirmation

Revenue's March 2026 guidance on the exit process explains two messages: an 'arrival at exit' (IE507) when the goods reach the Irish port, and an 'exit notification' (IE590) from the carrier once the goods have left the EU. Revenue's Export Release Verification Service lets sea carriers handle both. You can check progress on Revenue's MRN look-up: the status you want is 'Exported'. Keep that evidence. Revenue's manual says an enquiry may start after 90 days and the declaration may be invalidated after 150 days if no exit evidence is received, which matters for zero-rating the sale for VAT.

Documents that travel with the container

SONCAP Certificate for this shipmentAccredited firm, issued to the importerOne PAAR at Nigerian Customs
Insurance certificateUsually the buyer in NigeriaSterling's FAQ says it must cover 110% of invoice value

Bureau Veritas's SONCAP data sheet (October 2024) says that for some routes the firm witnesses the loading and sealing of a full container, and that destination inspection is not allowed. Ask your firm before the haulier collects the box.

The Nigerian clearance side

Once the vessel is on its way, your buyer works from the Form M on the B'Odogwu customs platform. A Nigeria Customs Service statement of 11 July 2025 describes importers opening the Form M there and selecting "Create PAAR" to generate the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report. Duty is then assessed. The Nigeria Customs Valuation Guide 2026 says the starting point is the transaction value, with transport and insurance to the Nigerian port added, converted at the CBN official rate when the declaration is submitted. DHL's Nigeria guidance (June 2026) adds the levies on top: a 7% surcharge on duty, a 1% CISS on FOB, a 0.5% ECOWAS levy on CIF, and 7.5% VAT.

Steps, in order

  1. Agree the Incoterm, price and payment; issue the proforma invoice.
  2. Get the SONCAP Product Certificate or NAFDAC registration.
  3. Receive the registered Form M number from the buyer.
  4. Book the container and give your forwarder the EORI, commodity codes and invoice.
  5. Lodge the AES export declaration at least 24 hours before loading.
  6. Get the SONCAP Certificate for this shipment and any loading witness.
  7. Send the buyer the bill of lading, final invoice, packing list and certificates.
  8. Check the MRN shows 'Exported' and file the evidence.

Which of these costs fall on you depends on the Incoterm; see Incoterms for an Ireland-Nigeria deal.

Where Pryme fits

Forwarders, inspection firms and Nigerian clearing agents may invoice in euros, dollars or naira. A Pryme Business Account holds all three with local account details, and Bulk payouts can settle several suppliers at once; the app shows the rate and the fee before you approve. Outside Nigeria, Pryme's services are provided through regulated partners.

Questions people ask

How early must I lodge the export declaration for a Dublin to Lagos container?

Revenue's export manual says at least 24 hours before loading begins for containerised sea cargo that is not short-sea.

Do I need an EORI number to export a container from Ireland?

Revenue says the declarant must be registered for EORI and regular exporters need one. Your agent can lodge for you, but you still need the number.

Who arranges Nigerian customs clearance?

The buyer and its clearing agent, using the Form M and the PAAR generated on the B'Odogwu platform.

How do I prove the goods left Ireland?

Check the MRN on Revenue's look-up shows 'Exported' and keep it with the bill of lading.
