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.

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.

Clinics can use an AI agent for bookings, directions, fees and paperwork. Clinical questions and urgent symptoms must reach a person at once.
A clinic can use an AI support agent for administrative questions: booking and moving appointments, opening hours, fees, forms, directions and invoice queries. It should never give clinical advice, interpret symptoms or results, or decide urgency, and any message suggesting an emergency should trigger an immediate route to a person and to emergency services information.
Clinics, dental practices, physiotherapists and therapy rooms receive a large volume of messages that have nothing to do with care: can I move my Tuesday appointment, how much is a check-up, where do I park, can you resend my receipt. These are good candidates for an AI support agent. Mixed in with them are messages that are about care, sometimes urgently, and an agent must recognise those and step aside.
All of this sits in records the clinic already keeps. The agent finds and explains; it does not decide anything about the patient's health.
Cancellation and no-show rules deserve particular attention. If the clinic charges for late cancellations, the agent should quote the written rule when a patient cancels and record that it did so. Waiving the fee, for example because the patient was unwell, is a decision for the practice manager. Patients who are distressed about a charge should reach a person rather than a repeated policy quote.
The rule for a clinic support agent should be simple enough to test: it does not give advice about symptoms, medication, test results, treatment choices or whether someone needs to be seen. Even a well-meaning reply such as "that sounds normal after a filling" is clinical advice. When a message contains clinical content, the agent should tell the patient that a member of the clinical team will respond, route the case to that team and, where the message suggests urgency, give the emergency number for the patient's country straight away.
| Message | What the agent should do |
|---|---|
| "Can I move my appointment to Friday?" | Offer Friday slots and rebook |
| "My tooth is still aching after the extraction" | Say a clinician will reply today, route to clinical inbox |
| "I have chest pain and feel faint" | Give emergency number at once, alert staff, do not continue the booking flow |
| "What did my blood test show?" | Explain results come from a clinician, route the request |
| "How much is a hygienist visit?" | Quote the published price |
Urgency detection will never be perfect, so design for the failure. Keep a human-staffed route that patients can always reach, and make the agent's default, when unsure, to escalate rather than to reassure.
Health information is treated as especially sensitive in most data protection regimes. Under UK GDPR it is special category data, and the ICO's guidance on AI and data protection sets out what to consider before using AI with personal data. In the US, providers covered by HIPAA must protect health information under the Privacy Rule and need appropriate agreements with vendors that handle it. In the EU, the AI Act adds obligations for some uses of AI, and transparency duties for systems that talk to people. Nigeria's Data Protection Act 2023 also treats health data as sensitive.
In practice, ask a vendor where patient data is processed, whether it is used to train models, who can see conversations and how long they are kept. Limit the agent's access to the administrative record it needs. A booking agent rarely needs clinical notes, so it should not have them. These are general points; check your obligations with a data protection adviser.
Illustrative only. A three-chair dental practice receives about 900 messages a month across phone follow-ups, email and web chat. A month's sample shows around 520 about bookings, 140 about fees and payment, 90 about forms and practical details, 110 with clinical content and about 40 other. The practice lets the agent handle bookings, fees, forms and practical questions, about 750 messages. Every message with clinical content, including mild ones, goes to the clinical team, and any mention of severe pain, bleeding or swelling triggers an alert to the duty dentist. The team still answers about 150 messages, but they are the ones that need a clinician.
The Customer Support agent in a Pryme Business account answers from the policies you set, such as booking rules, fees and cancellation terms, and hands anything outside them to a named person with the conversation attached. It is a business-side agent: it handles administration and payments questions, not care. Payments and refunds go through the Finance agent under your approvals, and the Compliance agent can track data protection obligations. Every action is on the audit trail. For how the five agents divide the work, see Business Account agents explained.
Clinical triage is a clinical decision and should stay with qualified staff. An administrative agent should route clinical messages, not assess them.
Generally yes, provided you meet data protection rules for health data and are open with patients. Check the rules in your country with an adviser.
The agent should give the emergency number straight away, alert staff and stop any routine flow. Test this before going live.
No, not for administrative support. Give it only the booking, billing and contact data it needs.
