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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

Getting SPID in Italy as a Nigerian resident

Why a permesso and a Nigerian passport are not enough for SPID, the Italian document you need first, and which services you will use it for.

PE
Pryme editorialDiaspora desk, Rome · 24 Oct 2026 · 6 min read
The short answer

You can get SPID as a Nigerian resident, but not with your permesso di soggiorno or Nigerian passport: the official SPID site says you need a valid Italian identity document (carta d'identità, patente or passaporto), plus your tessera sanitaria or codice fiscale, an email and an Italian mobile number, and you must be 18. In practice that means registering residence, getting an Italian carta d'identità from your comune, then applying to a SPID provider.

SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) is the login most Italian public services expect: INPS for assegno unico and contributions, the Agenzia delle Entrate for your tax drawer, many comuni and schools. Without it, you queue. For Nigerians the obstacle is not eligibility but documents.

The rule that catches most newcomers

The SPID site's page on how to activate SPID (last modified 21 November 2024) says you need an Italian identity document in date: carta d'identità, driving licence or passport. It adds that SPID cannot be requested using the permesso di soggiorno, but that the permit can be used to obtain an Italian identity card, which you then use for SPID.

So a Nigerian passport plus permesso, which opens a bank account and a PostePay, will not open SPID. The order is:

  1. Permesso di soggiorno (or renewal ricevuta) and codice fiscale.
  2. Registration of residence at your comune. See registering residence in Italy.
  3. Italian carta d'identità from the comune. ACRA's Milan welcome kit lists permit, residence, tessera sanitaria or codice fiscale and a photo, at €22.20 in Milan. See the carta d'identità for foreign residents.
  4. SPID application with a provider of your choice.

An Italian driving licence also counts as an Italian document, if you already hold one.

How long the route usually takes

Each step depends on a different office, so plan in stages rather than expecting SPID in your first week. The comune checks residence after you apply (the BLEST guide describes a 45-day check, with silence counting as acceptance), and the identity card needs an appointment in many cities. A realistic plan is to apply for residence as soon as you have a registered lease or a host's written consent, book the identity card appointment once residence is confirmed, and apply for SPID the same week you collect the card.

Bring your permit, passport and codice fiscale to every one of these appointments. If your permit is in renewal, carry the Poste ricevuta stapled to the expiring card, as the comune will want to see both.

When your permit is renewed

ACRA's Milan kit notes that residence must be updated at the comune each time the permit is renewed, or cancellation from the register may start. Losing residence can affect your identity card and therefore your route to SPID, so update the comune promptly after each renewal.

What you need for the SPID application

Age
At least 18.
Identity document
Valid Italian carta d'identità, patente or passaporto.
Tax code
Tessera sanitaria, codice fiscale card, or the codice fiscale certificate.
Contacts
Your own email address and mobile number.

How identification is done and what it costs

The SPID site lists four ways a provider (gestore) can confirm who you are: in person, by webcam, by audio-video with a bank transfer, or with a CIE, CNS or digital signature. Identification can be free or paid depending on the provider and method; public administrations that are authorised can identify you free of charge. Once you have SPID, using it for public and private online services is free. The site lists three security levels (1, 2 and 3); several services require level 2 or higher.

Compare providers on the SPID site before choosing: the price and the methods offered differ, and an in-person check at an office may suit you if your Italian is still developing.

What you will use SPID for

ServiceWhat the source says about access
INPS: assegno unicoOnline with SPID level 2 or higher, CIE or CNS, or through a patronato (InformazioneFiscale, April 2026)
INPS: estratto conto contributivoSPID level 2 or higher, CIE, CNS, eIDAS, or contact centre or patronato (INPS message 2553, Sept 2025)
Agenzia delle EntrateCitizens use SPID, CIE or CNS since 1 October 2021; personal Fisconline logins were retired
Banca d'Italia Centrale dei RischiOnline portal with SPID, CNS or CIE
Lease registration (RLI)Online with SPID, CIE or CNS

Useful INPS guides: assegno unico for Nigerian families and checking your INPS contributions.

If you cannot get SPID yet

  • Use the CIE itself: once you have the electronic identity card, the services above accept it as an alternative login.
  • Use a patronato or CAF, which can file INPS and tax applications for you. See free help from CAF and patronati.
  • Use paper channels where they exist, such as the form for the Centrale dei Rischi.
  • Your permesso renewal itself does not need SPID: it goes through the Poste kit.

Keeping SPID safe

Treat SPID like your BVN at home: whoever has it can file applications in your name. Never give your credentials or confirmation codes to an agent, landlord or "helper". If a patronato files for you, it does so under its own access, not with your password.

Where Pryme fits

The same habit applies to your money: Pryme uses an authenticator app rather than SMS codes and a transaction PIN, described on the security page, and nothing moves without your approval.

Questions people ask

Can I get SPID with a permesso di soggiorno?

No. The SPID site says the permesso cannot be used to request SPID; use it to get an Italian carta d'identità, then apply for SPID with that.

Can I get SPID with my Nigerian passport?

No. SPID providers need an Italian identity document: carta d'identità, patente or passaporto.

Is SPID free in Italy?

Using SPID is free. Identification may be free or paid depending on the provider and the method you choose; authorised public offices identify you free.

What can I use instead of SPID?

The electronic carta d'identità (CIE) or CNS, accepted by INPS and the Agenzia delle Entrate, or a patronato or CAF that files for you.
