Open a business account

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

Pryme Solid 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.

The short answer

Side hustles in Nigeria fall into clear capital tiers: ₦0 to ₦10,000 covers lessons, freelancing and VTU; up to ₦50,000 adds reselling and beauty tools; up to ₦150,000 covers POS (Kuda Business lists a ₦95,000 terminal or lease options) and baking; and ₦300,000 to ₦500,000 can fund a kiosk or bulk trading. Prefer capital you can recover.

How to read this ranking

Capital is the money you must put in before the first sale: tools, stock, registration, deposits and float. This guide groups common Nigerian side hustles into five tiers from ₦0 to ₦500,000. Where a cost comes from a published price, the source and date are given; everything else is a labelled example, because equipment and stock prices vary by city and change month to month. Before spending, price your own list from two or three sellers.

One principle runs through every tier: capital you can recover (float, resaleable equipment, stock that keeps) is less risky than capital you cannot (advertising, decoration, perishable stock). Two hustles with the same start-up figure can carry very different risk.

The tiers

Tier 1: ₦0 to ₦10,000

Hustle	What the money buys (example)	Recoverable?
Home lessons	Nothing beyond what you have; perhaps past questions	n/a
Online freelancing (writing, admin, virtual assistance)	Data; a phone or laptop you already own	n/a
VTU airtime and data	A small wallet float	Yes: float cycles
Affiliate selling	Data; some programmes charge a fee (Selar's affiliate network: ₦3,000 a year, per its page modified Aug 2025)	No
Errands and personal shopping	Transport for the first jobs	n/a

These are skill-or-time hustles. The constraint is finding customers, not money. VTU earns a few per cent; VTpass's July 2025 table shows 3% on MTN airtime for terminal agents.

Tier 2: ₦10,001 to ₦50,000

Hustle	What the money buys (example)	Recoverable?
Reselling through WhatsApp	First small batch of stock	Mostly, if it sells
Hair braiding, barbing or nails at home	Clippers, combs, products	Tools resaleable
Small chops or snacks to order	Ingredients, packaging, a few trays	No: perishable
Registering a business name	CAC registration ₦20,000 plus ₦1,000 name reservation (Gazette of 29 May 2025)	No

This is where stock first appears. Take payment before buying wherever you can. Our list of side hustles under ₦50,000 goes deeper on this tier.

Tier 3: ₦50,001 to ₦150,000

Hustle	What the money buys (example)	Recoverable?
POS agency	A terminal and cash float	Partly
Baking	Oven, mixer, tins, first ingredients	Equipment resaleable
Event photography	A used camera or a high-end phone and lights	Resaleable
Larger resale stock	Bales, gadgets accessories, foodstuff	Mostly

POS is the hustle in this tier with published prices. Kuda Business's help page (2026) lists an upfront lease at ₦20,000 one-time plus ₦1,750 insurance, with a requirement to process ₦100,000 a week, a monthly lease at ₦2,000 a month for 12 months plus insurance, or outright purchase at ₦95,000. Nairametrics reported in September 2025 that entry-level terminals had risen to about ₦21,500 and Android terminals to ₦62,000–₦85,000. The float, the cash you hand customers, is usually the larger part of the money; agents in busy areas commonly hold far more float than the terminal costs. Check current prices with the provider.

Tier 4: ₦150,001 to ₦300,000

Hustle	What the money buys (example)	Recoverable?
Laptop-based freelancing (design, video editing)	A capable laptop and software	Resaleable
Mini food business	Gas cooker, freezer, pots, first stock	Partly
Poultry trial (small batch)	Day-old birds, feed, drinkers, housing	No if birds die
Printing and binding	Printer, binding machine, paper	Resaleable

Equipment-heavy hustles start here. Power is a hidden cost: freezers, printers and laptops need electricity or fuel.

Tier 5: ₦300,001 to ₦500,000

Hustle	What the money buys (example)	Recoverable?
A kiosk or small shop	Rent advance, shelving, first stock	Rent no; stock mostly
Bulk foodstuff trading	Bags of rice, beans, garri bought at market	Mostly, if stored well
Rental equipment (canopies, chairs, generators)	The equipment	Resaleable
Combined POS, VTU and bill-payment stand	Terminal, float, stand, signage	Partly

At this level, the single biggest risk is putting all the money in at once. Spend in stages and keep at least a fifth back for problems.

Worked example: same ₦100,000, different risk

Example only. Two people each have ₦100,000.

Ada buys a baking set-up for ₦70,000 and ₦30,000 of ingredients for her first orders. If she stops after a month, she can sell the equipment for perhaps half, ₦35,000. Money at risk: about ₦65,000.
Chinedu keeps ₦80,000 as VTU and resale float and spends ₦20,000 on a first batch of phone accessories. If he stops, the ₦80,000 float comes back and he can sell most of the accessories at cost. Money at risk: perhaps ₦10,000.

Neither choice is wrong. Ada's hustle may earn more per order. But if you cannot afford to lose the money, choose recoverable capital first.

What to check first

Price every item from at least two sellers; write down the total.
Mark each item recoverable or not.
Keep a reserve of about a fifth of your budget.
Start with paid-in-advance orders to test demand.
If you are borrowing the capital, read the arithmetic of borrowing to invest first.

Where Pryme fits

Saving the capital in a separate place makes the plan real; Savings Boxes hold naira apart from spending money, and our guide to saving start-up capital shows how to build it. Once trading, a business account adds invoicing and checkout.

Questions people ask

What business can I start with ₦100,000 in Nigeria?

Reselling with paid-in-advance orders, baking with basic equipment, a POS agency with a leased terminal, or event photography with a used camera all fit around ₦100,000. Price your own list first.

What business can I start with no money in Nigeria?

Skill or time hustles: home lessons, online freelancing, errands, and VTU with a very small float. The constraint is finding customers.

How much does a POS machine cost now?

Kuda Business lists outright purchase at ₦95,000 or lease options, and Nairametrics reported entry-level terminals around ₦21,500 in September 2025. Prices change, so check with the provider.

Is it better to start small or wait to save more capital?

Starting small with recoverable capital lets you test demand without risking much. Add capital in stages as sales prove the idea.
