What AI agents can do in bookkeeping, close, collections and compliance today, where a person must stay in charge, and how to judge a product.

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.
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.
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.

Every channel IBEDC lists for buying a prepaid token in Osogbo, what to enter, the July 2025 band rates and what to do when a token fails.
IBEDC supplies Osogbo, and you can buy a prepaid token through your bank app or USSD, IBEDC's own website, vendors IBEDC names (iRecharge, Quickteller, BuyPower), payment agents or an IBEDC payment office, using the meter number printed on your meter. If a token fails, check the vendor history, verify the payment on IBEDC's site, call 0700 123 9999, and escalate to the NERC Forum office in Osogbo if needed.
Osogbo is in the franchise of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC). IBEDC's own FAQ page says it serves Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Kwara states and parts of Niger, Ekiti and Kogi. So wherever you live in the city, a prepaid token for your meter is an IBEDC token, and you can buy it from any channel IBEDC accepts.
What you pay per unit depends on your tariff band. NERC's July 2025 supplementary order for IBEDC (ORDER/NERC/2025/063) set Band A at ₦209.50 per kWh, with Bands B to E frozen at December 2022 levels (Band B non-MD ₦67.25, Band C ₦56.40, Band D ₦32.44, Band E ₦32.26). These were the rates in that order; tariffs can change, so check the current figure on IBEDC's or NERC's website before you budget.
IBEDC's payments page lists the channels below. It does not publish vending fees, so the app or agent shows any charge before you pay.
| Channel | How it works | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Bank apps | Bills or Electricity menu, choose IBEDC prepaid, enter meter number and amount | IBEDC lists bank apps as a channel but does not name the banks |
| USSD | Through your bank's USSD menu | IBEDC lists USSD but publishes no code; use your own bank's code |
| IBEDC website | Pay Now at ibedc.com/onlinepay | Official channel, card or bank payment |
| Third-party vendors | iRecharge, Quickteller and BuyPower are named on IBEDC's page | Token arrives on screen and usually by SMS or email |
| Payment agents | IBEDC lists agents by region on its agent locator | Ask for a printed or SMS token and keep it |
| Payment offices | Walk in to an IBEDC payment office | Useful when a token fails and you need help on the spot |
Your prepaid meter number is printed on the meter and on every past receipt. IBEDC's feeder information tool shows 6218094573 as a sample prepaid meter number, and a postpaid account number in the pattern 12/34/56/7890-01. Do not mix them up: a prepaid token can only be bought against a prepaid meter number.
In many Osogbo compounds one meter serves several flats, or a new tenant inherits a meter registered to someone else. The token still works, because it is tied to the meter number, not the name. But keep every receipt in your own name or phone number, agree in writing how units are shared, and ask the landlord whether there is any old debt on the meter before you move in, and settle any debt question with IBEDC in writing. If you want your own meter, IBEDC's metering pages explain how to apply under the Meter Asset Provider scheme, covered in how to get a prepaid meter under MAP.
Most failed tokens fall into a few patterns: the wrong meter number, the payment went through but the token did not deliver, the meter rejects the token, or a key change token (KCT) is needed after a tariff or meter update. For a fuller list of meter error causes, see electricity token not loading: causes and fixes.
If your account was due compensation for supply shortfalls, IBEDC has published compensation tokens through its own compensation portal, so check there before assuming a strange credit is an error.
You can pay IBEDC prepaid and postpaid bills from electricity in the Pryme app, and a Personal Assistant can remind you before your units run low, preparing the payment for you to approve. Nothing is sent until you confirm.
Use your bank app or USSD, IBEDC's website (ibedc.com/onlinepay), iRecharge, Quickteller, BuyPower, a payment agent or an IBEDC payment office. Enter your prepaid meter number, check the name, then pay.
IBEDC (Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company), which lists Osun among the states it serves.
Check the vendor's transaction history, then verify the payment on IBEDC's verify-payment page, and call 0700 123 9999 with your receipt if it still does not appear.
NERC's July 2025 order for IBEDC set Band A at ₦209.50 per kWh. Check IBEDC or NERC for any later change.
