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

PrymeSolid 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.

Stanbic IBTC fixed deposit: minimum, tenors and how to open

What is known about Stanbic IBTC fixed deposit minimums and tenors, how interest and tax are handled, and how it compares with MaxYield.

PE
Pryme editorialSavings desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Stanbic IBTC does not publish fixed deposit terms on the pages we could read in October 2026. Comparison guides describe tenors of 30 days to one year, a choice at expiry between taking interest only or interest plus principal, and a ₦100,000 minimum (July 2024), with 10% withholding tax on interest; confirm all of these with the bank before booking.

What is and is not published

Stanbic IBTC Bank publishes detailed pages for its savings accounts and its money market fund, but we did not find a fixed deposit product page with figures when we checked in October 2026. The fixed deposit terms you see quoted come from comparison sites, and they are worth reading with their dates in mind:

TermWhat the source saysSource
Minimum₦100,000nairaCompare, 13 Jul 2024
Tenor30 days to 1 yearnairaCompare rate guide, page dated Apr 2023
At expiryTake interest only, or interest plus principalnairaCompare rate guide
Tax10% withholding tax on interestBoth nairaCompare articles
RateNot givenQuoted by the bank at booking

None of these is on a Stanbic IBTC page we could read, so treat them as the questions to ask, not the answers. The 2024 article itself says minimums may change.

How to open a Stanbic IBTC fixed deposit

  1. Hold a Stanbic IBTC savings or current account, since the deposit is funded from it. The bank's account-opening help points to an online portal.
  2. Contact your relationship manager, a branch or customer care. TechCabal's May 2026 directory lists 0700 909 9099, +234 1 422 2222 and customercarenigeria@stanbicibtc.com.
  3. Ask for the minimum, the tenors, and the rate per year for your amount and tenor, with the date of the quote.
  4. Ask how interest is paid and whether the bank deducts withholding tax before crediting it.
  5. Ask the early-liquidation rule, in writing.
  6. Give your maturity instruction: interest only to your account with the principal rolled over, or everything paid out.

Choosing between 30 days and a year

If the 30-day to one-year range still holds, the decision is mostly about when you need the money and what you expect rates to do. A one-year booking fixes your rate for twelve months, which helps if rates fall; a string of shorter bookings lets you reprice, which helps if they rise. Rates at Nigerian banks tend to follow the CBN's policy rate with a lag, so a recent move by the Monetary Policy Committee is worth knowing before you choose. Short bookings also leave you less exposed to an early-exit penalty, because you are never more than a few weeks from maturity.

A worked example with tax

Example only, with an assumed rate. You book ₦5,000,000 for 365 days at 12% a year. Stanbic's own MaxYield page says interest on that account is paid "less 10% withholding tax"; we use the same 10% here as an example for a fixed deposit.

StepCalculationResult
Gross interest₦5,000,000 × 12% × 365 ÷ 365₦600,000
Withholding tax at 10%₦600,000 × 10%₦60,000
Net interest₦600,000 − ₦60,000₦540,000
Total at maturity₦5,000,000 + ₦540,000₦5,540,000

If you choose to take interest only at maturity and roll over the principal, the net interest arrives in your account and the principal starts a new term at whatever rate applies then. For the tax side, read withholding tax on interest in Nigeria, which is information rather than tax advice.

Fixed deposit or MaxYield?

Stanbic IBTC does publish full terms for its MaxYield savings account, which some customers use instead of a short fixed deposit. Its page, read in October 2026, says:

  • Opening balance of ₦10,000.
  • Interest of 10% of the CBN Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) a year, rising to 0.5% plus 10% of MPR when the daily balance is above ₦100,000 and you make no more than one withdrawal in the month.
  • Interest forfeited at the fifth withdrawal in a month.
  • Interest paid monthly, less 10% withholding tax.

Example only: if the MPR were 25%, 10% of it would be 2.5% a year, and with the bonus 3% a year. Check the current MPR on the CBN website, because it changes at Monetary Policy Committee meetings. A fixed deposit rate is agreed for the term and is not tied to the MPR in this way, so compare the two quotes on the same day. Our guide on why fixed deposit rates follow the MPR explains the link between policy rates and what banks pay.

Stanbic IBTC Asset Management's money market fund is a third option, with a ₦5,000 minimum and a 30-day minimum holding period; it is an investment fund rather than a bank deposit. Our comparison of fixed deposits and money market funds sets out the differences in tax, access and insurance.

What to check first

  • The minimum and the tenor list, from the bank.
  • Whether the quoted rate is per year and fixed for the term.
  • The early-exit rule.
  • The maturity default if you give no instruction.
  • NDIC cover: deposit money banks are covered up to ₦5,000,000 per depositor; a money market fund is not a deposit.

Where Pryme fits

A Pryme Fixed Savings Box shows its rate in the app before you lock naira, so you can set it beside a Stanbic IBTC quote.

Questions people ask

What is the minimum for Stanbic IBTC fixed deposit?

Stanbic IBTC does not publish one on the pages we read. A July 2024 nairaCompare article listed ₦100,000; confirm with the bank.

How long can I fix money in Stanbic IBTC?

A nairaCompare guide describes tenors of 30 days to one year. Ask the bank for its current tenor list.

Does Stanbic deduct tax from fixed deposit interest?

Comparison guides say 10% withholding tax applies, and Stanbic's MaxYield page says interest is paid less 10% withholding tax. Ask the bank how it is shown on your deposit.

Is Stanbic MaxYield better than fixed deposit?

They work differently. MaxYield pays a share of the MPR and allows limited withdrawals; a fixed deposit locks a rate for a term. Compare both quotes on the same day.
