AI agents for business finance: what they can and can't do
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.
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.
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.

How FCMB Fast Cash is priced, what decides your limit and tenor, and a worked example of total repayment including fees, for FCMB account holders.
FCMB Fast Cash is FCMB's short-term digital loan for its customers, and the rate, fees, amount and tenor are shown on the offer before you accept. We could not verify a current published Fast Cash rate card on FCMB's site for this article, so treat the offer in your FCMB channel as the only current figure and add every fee to the interest before comparing.
FCMB runs several digital lending products, from airtime loans to larger quick loans for businesses, each with its own page on fcmb.com. Fast Cash is the personal short-term option. Because the products sit side by side, it is easy to mix up their figures, and some websites do. This guide focuses on how to read a Fast Cash offer and what decides it.
FCMB publishes separate pages for products such as its Airtime Loan and its Quick Loan Service, and the business Quick Loan Service FAQ describes much larger amounts than a personal short-term loan. Figures from those pages do not apply to Fast Cash. When you see a number quoted for "FCMB loan", check which product it belongs to.
For this article we could not confirm a current Fast Cash interest rate, fee, limit or tenor on an FCMB page. The offer you receive is the binding source. Before accepting, note:
| Item | Example |
|---|---|
| Loan | ₦150,000 |
| Tenor | 30 days, one repayment |
| Interest (example 3% for the month) | ₦4,500 |
| Fee (example 1%, deducted upfront) | ₦1,500 |
| Amount received | ₦148,500 |
| Repayment due | ₦154,500 |
| Total cost | ₦6,000 |
| Cost as share of amount received | about 4% |
If you instead repaid the same loan over three months at the same example rate charged flat, the interest would be ₦13,500 and, with the fee, the total cost ₦15,000. A longer tenor eases each payment but raises the naira cost. Choose the shortest tenor whose repayment you can meet comfortably.
Write the offer's figures into the same table before you accept. If the total repayable shown by FCMB differs from what you calculate from the rate and fee, ask the bank to explain the difference in writing; there may be a charge you have not seen, such as insurance or VAT on a fee.
If you have just moved your salary to FCMB, it can take a few pay cycles before an offer reflects it. Repaying each Fast Cash loan on time is the steadiest way to keep offers available.
Fraudsters copy bank names to sell fake loans. A real Fast Cash offer comes through FCMB's own channels, linked to your FCMB account. Be wary of:
If in doubt, stop and contact FCMB through the details on fcmb.com, not through the message you received.
A one-month bank loan suits a short, known gap, for example a rent top-up due a week before salary. It suits recurring costs poorly, because the fee and interest come back every time you borrow. If you would need to take Fast Cash again straight after repaying it, the cost over a year adds up quickly. In the example above, borrowing ₦150,000 for a month, twelve times in a year, would cost ₦72,000 in fees and interest. Setting aside a small amount each month to build a buffer often costs less.
Repayment is normally taken from your FCMB account on the due date. Keep the full amount there a day early. If you will be short, contact FCMB before the date, in writing where possible. A missed repayment can bring extra charges and be reported to credit bureaus, which affects borrowing everywhere. For the trade-offs between bank loans and apps, see overdraft vs loan app, and for pricing methods, APR vs flat fee. A comparable product from another bank is covered in Ecobank Xpress Loan explained.
Pryme does not offer cash loans. Pryme customers may be offered Loans on Spaces by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank for spending with Spaces merchants, with the agreement shown before acceptance.
FCMB shows the rate on your Fast Cash offer. We could not verify a current published rate, so read the rate, any fee and the total repayable before accepting.
The amount depends on inflows into your FCMB account, your account conduct and your credit record. The offer shows your limit.
The tenor is stated on the offer. Check the due date against your payday before you accept.
Usually by debit from your FCMB account on the due date. Keep the amount in the account a day early.
