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.

Union Bank cardless withdrawal: how it works

Generate a Union Bank Pay code with *826*7*amount# or the app, then withdraw at an ATM. The ₦10,000 and ₦50,000 limits, and what to do if it fails.

PE
Pryme editorialBanking desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 5 min read
The short answer

Dial *826*7*amount# from the phone number linked to your Union Bank account (or use Cardless withdrawal in UnionMobile), enter your PIN, and you receive an SMS with a Pay code and a one-time password. At the ATM, tap any key for cardless mode and enter the Pay code, the OTP and the amount. Union Bank's page sets the limit at ₦10,000 per withdrawal and ₦50,000 a day.

Cardless withdrawal lets you take cash from an ATM without your debit card: useful when the card has expired, been retained, or been left at home. Union Bank offers it on both of its UnionMobile channels, the app and the *826# USSD code. Here is exactly how the bank describes it, with the limits it publishes and the points it leaves unstated.

Before you start

  • You must be registered on UnionMobile. For USSD, that means dialling *826# from the number linked to your account and selecting 1 to activate.
  • Transactions must be activated. Union Bank's page says this is done with *826*8# and the last four digits of your debit card, its CVV and the card PIN, or in the app under My Profile > Activate transactions. Until then, only self airtime up to ₦5,000 is allowed.
  • Your account needs enough balance for the amount you want to withdraw.

Step one: generate the code

On USSD

  1. Dial *826*7*amount# (for example *826*7*10000# for ₦10,000).
  2. Enter your UnionMobile PIN when prompted.
  3. Wait for the SMS. It contains a Pay code and a one-time password (OTP).

In the app

  1. Log in to UnionMobile.
  2. Open the Cardless withdrawal menu.
  3. Enter the amount and authorise with your PIN.
  4. Note the Pay code and OTP sent by SMS.

Step two: withdraw at the ATM

  1. At the ATM, tap any key to enter cardless mode.
  2. Enter the Pay code.
  3. Enter the OTP.
  4. Enter the amount, matching the amount you generated the code for.
  5. Collect your cash.

Union Bank's page does not say which ATMs accept the code. Cardless codes are generally tied to the issuing bank's own terminals, so use a Union Bank ATM unless the bank tells you otherwise. After the September 2025 merger with Titan Trust Bank, Union Bank reported more than 937 ATMs across the country.

Limits, expiry and charges

ItemWhat Union Bank publishes (Oct 2026)
Per withdrawal₦10,000
Per day₦50,000
Code validityNot stated on the page
ChargeNot stated on the page

Because the code's validity period is not published, generate it when you are at or near the ATM, not hours ahead. On cost, the CBN Guide to Charges treats withdrawals at your own bank's ATM as free and allows a ₦35 charge on another bank's ATM only after the third such withdrawal in a month; it does not set a specific cardless fee. Your mobile network may charge for the USSD session. Check your SMS alert after the transaction to see exactly what was deducted.

Worked example

Example: you need ₦35,000 for a trip. With a ₦10,000 cap per withdrawal, you generate four codes: three of ₦10,000 and one of ₦5,000. That is four withdrawals totalling ₦35,000, within the ₦50,000 daily limit. If you need ₦60,000, the last ₦10,000 has to wait until the next day or come from another channel.

If the ATM does not pay out

If the ATM fails but your account is debited, report it to Union Bank straight away through UnionCare on 07007007000, WhatsApp 09070070001 or customerservice@unionbankng.com, giving the time, the ATM location and the amount. CBN's 2020 circular on chargeback periods, as summarised by Mondaq, requires failed on-us ATM transactions to be reversed instantly or within 24 hours if the instant reversal fails. If a complaint is not resolved in two weeks, the CBN complaint guide lets you escalate to its Consumer Protection Department. See our CBN complaint guide.

Common reasons the code is rejected

  • The amount typed at the ATM differs from the amount the code was generated for.
  • The OTP was mistyped, or the Pay code and OTP were entered in the wrong fields.
  • The code was generated some time ago and may no longer be valid; generate a fresh one.
  • Transactions were never activated on UnionMobile, so the request did not complete even if an SMS arrived.
  • The ATM is offline or out of cash; try another Union Bank terminal.

If none of these explains it, contact Union Bank before generating several new codes, so you are not left wondering whether more than one request has reserved money on your account.

When cardless is the right tool, and when it is not

Cardless withdrawal suits small, occasional cash needs: transport fares, a market purchase, or an emergency while a replacement card is on the way. With a ₦10,000 ceiling per withdrawal it is not designed for large sums. For bigger amounts, a transfer to the recipient is usually simpler and leaves a clearer record, and a teller withdrawal at a branch remains available for account holders with ID. If your card has been retained by an ATM or lost, block it first through UnionCare, then request a replacement; under the CBN Guide to Charges a replacement requested by the customer may cost up to ₦1,000. Cardless cash bridges the gap in the meantime.

Keep the code to yourself

Anyone holding your Pay code and OTP can collect the cash. Union Bank staff and genuine agents do not need them. Never read them out over the phone, and be wary of strangers at ATMs offering help. Our article on USSD banking fraud covers common tricks, and the full *826# code list explains the rest of the menu.

Questions people ask

What is the Union Bank cardless withdrawal code?

*826*7*amount#, dialled from the phone number linked to your account. You then enter your PIN and receive a Pay code and OTP by SMS.

How much can I withdraw without my Union Bank card?

Union Bank's UnionMobile page sets ₦10,000 per withdrawal and a maximum of ₦50,000 per day.

Can I use the Union Bank paycode at another bank's ATM?

The page does not say. Use a Union Bank ATM unless the bank confirms otherwise.

How long does a Union Bank cardless code last?

Union Bank does not publish the validity period, so generate the code when you are ready to withdraw.
