Nigerian fintech OjirehPrime has changed its name to Pryme to better position itself in line with its vision to become a global banking platform for Africa\u2019s Gen Z. This is part of a strategic move in preparation for the official launch of its product in the UK market and subsequent expansion plans across Europe and Central Asia.<\/p>\n

The new development comes as the company, which is well-known for its unique digital banking solutions, starts the process of obtaining a banking license in Europe. This would allow them to reach an additional 12 million Africans living in Europe, with 5.8 million of them being Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2018, Pryme has become a trailblazer in the fintech sector, offering cutting-edge digital banking services that include access to loans and savings facilities.<\/p>\n

Edoka Idoko, the founder and CEO of Pryme, who announced the change of name in a statement on Monday, said, with over 1 million downloads and an impressive 250,000 monthly active users, the company is experiencing a robust 20% month-on-month growth rate.<\/p>\n

Idoko further revealed that Pryme currently processes a staggering N30 billion in transactions on a monthly basis, translating to an annual recurring revenue of $1.5 million.<\/p>\n

He recalled that in 2023 alone, Pryme facilitated N330 billion worth of transactions, totaling 980,987 transaction counts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPryme has always been part of our plans, and originally it was supposed to be Prime, but we needed that touch of creativity, hence the introduction of \u2018y\u2019,\u201d Idoko said.<\/p>\n

In a move towards growth and innovation, Pryme announced its intention in July 2023 to embark on a new funding round with the aim of raising a substantial $21 million to fund her next phase of growth.<\/p>\n

Looking beyond the European market, Idoko added that Pryme has set its sights set on entering the Asian market, with a special focus on Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

Idoko said Uzbekistan has a fertile tech ecosystem, strong governmental support for the sector, and strategic positioning for the Asian market.<\/p>\n

\u201cUzbekistan has a fast-growing tech environment, government support for the sector, and its market handshake with other economies,\u201d Idoko said.<\/p>\n

Pryme (formerly OjirePrime) is a mobile only banking app that offers a wide range of convenient features, including a fast and free inter-bank transfer service, innovative savings with up to 20% interest, airtime and bill payment options, and an exceptional user experience overall. Savings accounts are powered by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank, a 10 year old and licensed MFB with deposits insured by the NDIC.<\/p>\n
