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.

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.

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.
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 to request FirstBank FirstAdvance (salary earners) or FirstCredit (non-salary) on *894*11# or FirstMobile, the published limits and what to check.
Dial *894*11# from the phone number linked to your FirstBank account, or use the FirstMobile app, and follow the loan prompts. FirstBank material published on Financial Edge (accessed Oct 2026) says FirstAdvance lends salary earners up to 50% of net monthly salary, capped at ₦500,000, while FirstCredit lends non-salaried customers up to ₦300,000, repayable within 30 days.
FirstBank runs two short-term digital loans. FirstAdvance is for customers whose salary is paid into FirstBank. FirstCredit is for customers who are not salaried but have an active account. Both are requested on the same USSD string, and neither needs paperwork, collateral or a branch visit, according to FirstBank's published material. This guide sets out the steps, the figures FirstBank has published and the points to check. For background, read FirstAdvance and FirstCredit explained.
| FirstAdvance | FirstCredit | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | FirstBank salary account holders | Non-salaried customers with an active account |
| Amount (as published) | Up to 50% of net monthly salary, maximum ₦500,000 | Up to ₦300,000 |
| Repayment | Usually from your next salary credit; check the offer | Within 30 days |
| Account condition | Salary account with FirstBank (the article's wording on how long is unclear) | Account active and transacting for 6 months or more |
| Channels | FirstMobile app or *894*11# | *894*11# (no smartphone needed) |
Source: FirstBank promotional article on Financial Edge, accessed Oct 2026. The article carries no publication date and gives no interest rate or fees, so treat the limits as indicative and confirm the current terms on the offer screen or with FirstBank.
The app is the better place to read the terms in full; on USSD, the screen is small and the session can time out. If a session drops after you confirm, check your balance and SMS before trying again, so you do not accept a second loan by mistake.
FirstBank does not publish FirstAdvance or FirstCredit charges in the article we checked, so the offer screen is your source. Short loans are often priced as a one-off charge for the period, which can look small but is large in annual terms. Here is how to convert one.
| Example only (not FirstBank's pricing) | Figure |
|---|---|
| Borrow | ₦150,000 |
| Example one-off charge for 30 days | 3% = ₦4,500 |
| Repay after 30 days | ₦154,500 |
| Same charge expressed per year (× 12, no compounding) | 36% |
Compare the annual figure with other options using APR vs flat fee. If you cannot repay from your next inflow without borrowing again, the loan will cost more than the screen suggests.
FirstAdvance is repaid from your salary, so whatever you borrow comes out of next month's pay. A loan of 50% of your net salary means living on half your pay the following month, which is how many people end up borrowing again straight away. Before you accept, write down the bills due after payday: rent contributions, transport, school costs, food. Borrow only what leaves those covered.
FirstCredit has a 30-day window. If your income is irregular, as it is for many traders and freelancers, ask yourself whether money will definitely arrive inside that window. If a customer pays late, you still owe FirstBank on the due date.
Common causes are a salary that is not yet domiciled, an account that has not been active long enough for FirstCredit, unpaid debt on your credit bureau record, or a phone number that is not linked to your account. The full list is in FirstAdvance not eligible: reasons. For repayment and liquidation, see FirstAdvance repayment and customer care.
If what you need is a specific purchase, such as a pharmacy bill or groceries in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt, Pryme customers may be offered Loans on Spaces by Solid Allianze MFB, spendable only with Spaces merchants and accepted only after you read the full agreement.
FirstBank material published on Financial Edge gives *894*11# for FirstAdvance and FirstCredit (accessed Oct 2026). Dial it from the number linked to your account.
