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 Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design.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

What remote work costs in Nigeria: power, internet, backup

A labelled monthly cost example for working remotely from Nigeria: internet plans, backup data, solar or Starlink, using providers' published prices.

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

Working remotely from Nigeria typically costs tens of thousands of naira a month for internet and backup, plus a large one-off spend on power. In our example, a Spectranet unlimited plan (₦30,000), MTN router backup (₦14,500) and a ₦3.75 million solar set-up spread over four years come to about ₦122,625 a month, using prices published by the providers and press as at 2025–2026.

Remote work moves the office's costs onto you. In Nigeria the two that matter most are internet and power, and both need a backup, because a client abroad does not see why a call dropped, only that it did. This article prices the main options from sources we could check, builds two labelled monthly examples, and flags what we could not price.

Internet: main line

Published prices, as at the dates shown:

OptionPrice statedNotes
Spectranet LTE Unlimited Diamond₦30,000 per 30 daysFair use 200GB, then 1 Mbps (Spectranet page, Oct 2026)
Spectranet BigData / MegaData₦45,000 / ₦60,000Fair use 400GB / 550GB, then 1 Mbps
Spectranet Home FiberFrom ₦17,000 (7 Mbps) to ₦100,000 (200 Mbps)Lagos and Abuja only; prices include VAT
Starlink ResidentialAbout ₦57,000 a month; kit about ₦590,000TechCabal, Nov 2025; new residential orders paused in parts of Lagos and Abuja
Starlink Business/PriorityAbout ₦159,000 a monthReopened Feb 2026 in congested cities, per TechCabal

Spectranet's page notes that a fair-usage policy applies per plan. Video calls and large uploads use data quickly, so check the cap against your work. Fibre is the most stable where it reaches your street; ask your estate or building.

Internet: backup

A second network on a different technology protects you when the main line fails. MTN's router plans page (modified 1 Apr 2026) lists 30GB for ₦9,000, 60GB for ₦14,500 and 120GB for ₦24,000, each for 30 days, for its 4G/5G Wi-Fi devices. A backup bundle you rarely touch can roll through the month as insurance.

Power

Grid supply varies by area and band. The common backups are a petrol generator, an inverter with batteries, or a solar set-up. We found one published total for a full solar system: Legit.ng reported in April 2026 that a buyer paid about ₦3.75 million for a 5kVA inverter, a 5kW lithium battery and eight 590W panels. Prices vary widely by brand, size and installer, so get several quotes.

We have not priced generator running costs, because fuel prices change often and usage varies; work it out from your own fuel receipts over a month. Diesel and petrol costs are a reason many remote workers move to solar over time.

Two monthly examples

Both are examples, not recommendations. One-off purchases are spread evenly over the months shown.

Example A: Spectranet plus solar

Spectranet LTE Unlimited Diamond
₦30,000
MTN router backup, 60GB
₦14,500
Solar set-up ₦3,750,000 over 48 months
₦78,125
Monthly total
₦122,625

Example B: Starlink, no power spend counted

Starlink Residential
₦57,000
MTN router backup, 30GB
₦9,000
Starlink kit ₦590,000 over 24 months
₦24,583
Monthly total (before power)
₦90,583

Example B looks cheaper only because it leaves out power; add your generator or inverter costs to compare fairly.

Ways to bring the bill down

  • Match the plan to your use. Check a month of data use in your router or phone settings before buying a bigger plan. Paying for 550GB when you use 150GB wastes money each month.
  • Buy quarterly where it is cheaper. Spectranet's page says quarterly Home Fiber plans cost 2.7 times the monthly price, a saving of 0.3 of a month over three months.
  • Size power for work, not the whole house. A system that runs a laptop, router, fan and lights through working hours costs less than one that runs an air conditioner.
  • Share costs. Housemates or neighbours can share a fibre line or solar system, if the agreement on cost and use is clear and written.
  • Keep receipts. Internet, power and equipment used for work are costs of earning your income for tax purposes.

Co-working as an alternative

Co-working spaces in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt sell day passes and monthly desks with power and internet included. We did not find published prices we could verify across spaces, so ask for the rate, what the power hours are, and the internet speed. A space can make sense as backup for important days, or full time if it costs less than building your own set-up.

What to check first

  • Whether fibre or Starlink is available at your address now.
  • The fair-usage cap against your monthly data use.
  • Your real power cost from a month of receipts.
  • Whether a client pays an equipment allowance; then build these costs into your rate.

Where Pryme fits

Pay recurring data bills from your account through airtime and data, and keep money for a future solar purchase apart in a Savings Box. More on dollar earnings: working for a foreign company from Nigeria.

Questions people ask

How much does internet cost for remote work in Nigeria?

As at Oct 2026, Spectranet lists unlimited LTE plans from ₦30,000 for 30 days (fair use applies), and MTN router bundles from ₦9,000 for 30GB.

Is Starlink worth it for remote work in Nigeria?

TechCabal reported about ₦57,000 a month for residential and about ₦590,000 for the kit in Nov 2025, with new residential orders paused in parts of Lagos and Abuja. Check availability at your address.

How much is a solar set-up for working from home?

One buyer reported paying about ₦3.75 million for a 5kVA inverter, 5kW lithium battery and eight panels in April 2026. Get several quotes.

What is the best backup internet in Nigeria?

A second network on a different technology, such as a mobile router bundle alongside fixed or satellite internet.
