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.
One global account for your money and business. Move across currencies, automate everyday operations and put AI agents to work — with you in control of every important decision.

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.

Eva waits for your rate and asks before she moves anything.
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.
We give the buyer a one-time account number. They transfer to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in.

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.

Abuja customers expect power, punctuality, clear prices, proper receipts and fast payment confirmation. A checklist for businesses that want them back.
Abuja customers, many of them salaried professionals and people doing business with government and large organisations, expect clear prices, punctual service, a comfortable powered space, proper receipts and invoices, and quick confirmation of transfers. Businesses that meet those basics consistently earn repeat custom without heavy discounting.
Abuja has a large population of civil servants, diplomats, NGO staff, consultants, contractors and professionals. Many deal with paperwork, procurement and audits at work, and they bring those habits to their spending. They are used to invoices, approvals and receipts, and they notice when a business is vague. At the same time, many are time-poor because of long commutes from satellite towns.
That combination produces a short list of expectations. Meet them and most other things are forgiven.
Show prices on shelves, menus and service lists. Customers who have to ask often assume they are being priced by their appearance or car. If a price changes, change the display first.
Under NERC's banding, Band A customers are meant to get at least 20 hours of electricity a day, but supply from AEDC still varies by feeder, and NERC fined AEDC ₦200 million in April 2024 for overcharging under the new tariff order. Abuja customers know the grid is unreliable, and they choose the salon, eatery or office space that stays lit and cool. Treat backup power as part of the service you sell.
An appointment at 10am means 10am. A delivery promised for 1pm should arrive by 1pm, at the right gate, with the rider able to reach the customer. In a city of long drives, wasting someone's time costs you their next visit.
Many purchases in Abuja are reimbursed, claimed or audited: hotel stays, meals with clients, school fees, transport and office supplies. A receipt should carry your business name, the date, the items and amounts, and the payment method. The national guide on what a business receipt should include sets out the details.
Customers paying by transfer want to leave once the money has gone. Staff need a reliable way to confirm receipt quickly. A business that makes customers stand at the till for ten minutes, or asks them to resend money because a staff phone shows nothing, loses them.
Professionals are wary of businesses that collect phone numbers and then spam them. The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 requires a lawful basis, such as consent, for using personal data. Ask before adding anyone to a marketing list, and stop when they say so.
When something goes wrong, Abuja customers want to reach a person: a phone that is picked up, a WhatsApp reply within the hour during trading time, a manager who can decide. Publish one number, staff it, and give the person answering the authority to fix small problems on the spot, such as a replacement, a refund within a set limit or a free delivery next time.
| Area | Typical emphasis |
|---|---|
| Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse 2 | Quality, privacy, home service, premium comfort |
| Central Business District, Garki, Utako, Jabi | Speed, invoices, reliable lunch and meeting service |
| Gwarinpa, Lokogoma, Life Camp | Family-friendly service, delivery, consistency |
| Kubwa, Lugbe, Nyanya, Karu | Value, evening opening, fast service on the way home |
These are broad patterns, not rules. Ask your own customers what matters to them, and watch what makes them complain.
Corporate and institutional customers deserve their own note. Offices, schools, embassies and NGOs often need a quotation before buying, a named contact, an invoice with your registration details and sometimes evidence of tax registration. Have these ready in a single pack. The business that can send a quote within the hour is usually the one that gets the order.
Example only. A spa in Maitama with about 400 visits a month starts writing down every complaint for eight weeks. It records 46. Of these, 18 are about waiting past the booked time, 12 about the air conditioning failing during power cuts, 9 about unclear package prices and 7 about other issues.
The owner moves to fixed-length bookings with a buffer, budgets ₦350,000 for a battery backup on the treatment rooms, and prints one clear price list. Complaints fall to 11 in the next eight weeks, and repeat bookings rise. No discount was needed.
Pryme customers can generate regular or verifiable receipts and statements, built with VerifyDoc.ai, which the recipient can check are genuine and unaltered; that helps customers claiming expenses. Spaces operates in Abuja, and businesses in supported sectors can join with a Pryme Business Account to reach customers whose Loans on Spaces credit can only be spent with Spaces merchants. Read the national guide on getting repeat customers, and ask Pryme about merchant terms through the contact page. For checking transfers, see how to confirm a transfer before staff release goods.
Clear prices, punctuality, a comfortable powered space, proper receipts and fast payment confirmation come up again and again. Meeting these consistently matters more than discounts.
Many purchases are reimbursed by employers, projects or clients, or need to be accounted for. A receipt with your business name, date, items, amounts and payment method saves everyone time.
For many customer-facing businesses, some backup power is needed. AEDC supply varies by feeder and band, and customers choose businesses that stay lit and cool.
With a Pryme account you can generate a verifiable receipt, built with VerifyDoc.ai, which the recipient can check is genuine and unaltered.
