Meet Eva, the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals and follows up. Nothing leaves your account without your approval.
Meet Eva, the assistant inside the Pryme app. She holds dollars, pounds, euros and Naira side by side, swaps at a locked rate, pays bills in any of them and sends anywhere, asking before anything moves.













We give you a limit to spend at the shops and services you already use — and an account that works on your month while you get on with it. Dollars, pounds and euros sit beside your Naira, and an assistant handles the running of it, asking you first every single time.

BruceCareYour competitor down the road sells the same thing you sell. The difference is who walks in. We put money in people’s hands that can only be spent in businesses like yours — and then we point them at you.
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.

No card, no OTP, nothing for the buyer to type in. They transfer from the bank app they already use, and the money lands in the same account your agents are running — already matched to the order, already in your books.

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.

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.

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.

How Nigerian social media managers package their work, what each tier should include, and a labelled method for setting a monthly retainer.
Social media managers in Nigeria usually sell monthly retainers built around a set number of posts, platforms and hours of community management, with ad spend billed separately. There is no official rate card, so price each package from the hours it takes and the value to the client, and put the deliverables, revision limits and ad budget in writing.
A small business that hires a social media manager is rarely buying "posts". It is buying consistency, a professional look, replies to customers and, ideally, more enquiries. The clearer you are about which of those you deliver, the easier it is to price and the fewer arguments you have.
Three tiers work for most freelancers and small agencies. Define each by output and time, not by vague promises such as "growth".
| Starter | Standard | Growth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platforms | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Posts per month | 8 static | 12, incl. 4 short videos | 20, incl. 8 short videos |
| Stories | Not included | 3 a week | Daily |
| Community management | Not included | Weekdays, twice daily | Weekdays and weekends, agreed hours |
| Ads management | Not included | One campaign a month | Ongoing campaigns |
| Report | Short monthly summary | Monthly report | Monthly report and review call |
| Revisions | 1 round per batch | 2 rounds per batch | 2 rounds per batch |
Photography and video shoots, influencer fees and ad spend are usually priced on top, because their cost varies widely.
We could not find any official or survey-based price list for social media management in Nigeria, and advertised rates range from token amounts to agency fees many times higher. Build your price from hours.
Assume your time needs to earn ₦3,500 an hour.
| Task (Standard package) | Hours per month |
|---|---|
| Planning and content calendar | 4 |
| Designing 8 static posts | 8 |
| Editing 4 short videos | 10 |
| Captions and hashtags | 3 |
| Stories | 4 |
| Community management | 12 |
| Ads set-up and checks | 3 |
| Report | 2 |
| Total | 46 |
At ₦3,500 an hour, 46 hours comes to ₦161,000 a month. You might round to ₦160,000 for the client. On the same basis, a Starter package of about 15 hours would be ₦52,500 and a Growth package of about 85 hours ₦297,500. Clients who sign for three or six months can get a small discount in return for predictable income.
Make it clear in every proposal that your fee covers managing ads, not the ad money itself. The client should fund ads directly, ideally on their own ad account with you added as a partner, so spending is transparent and the account stays theirs if you part ways. Meta said it would charge 7.5% VAT on ad placements for Nigeria-based advertisers from 1 January 2022 (TheCable), so budget the VAT line too. Example only: a client who agrees ₦50,000 of monthly ad spend should expect ₦3,750 VAT on top. Our guide to what an Instagram ads budget buys explains the mechanics.
If clients pay by card through a link, Paystack's published local fee is 1.5% plus ₦100, capped at ₦2,000 (October 2026); on a ₦160,000 retainer, the cap applies and the fee is ₦2,000. Bank transfers avoid that fee, and since January 2026 the ₦50 stamp duty on transfers is charged to the sender.
Most small businesses hire a social media manager after seeing someone else's page improve. Build two or three case studies, even from discounted early clients, showing the page before and after and the enquiries it produced. Specialise where you can: a manager who understands restaurants knows to post menus before lunch and weekend specials on Thursday, and that is easier to sell than general skill. Keep clients by reporting what changed in plain terms, such as messages received and orders mentioned, rather than only likes and followers, and by flagging problems early instead of waiting for the client to notice.
A Pryme Business Account handles monthly invoicing for retainers, and its Customer Support agent prepares replies to customer messages for a person to approve, which can help a growing agency (Customer Support agent).
There is no official rate. Estimate the monthly hours for content, community management, ads and reporting, multiply by your hourly target and round. Example only: 46 hours at ₦3,500 gives about ₦161,000 a month.
State the platforms, number of posts and videos, stories, community management hours, ads management, report and revision rounds. Ad spend and shoots are usually extra.
It is clearer to keep them separate. The client funds ads on their own ad account, and your fee covers managing them. Meta also adds VAT on ad spend for Nigeria-based advertisers.
Show before-and-after results from a few businesses, specialise in a sector such as food, fashion or property, and ask satisfied clients for referrals.
