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.
Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, side by side on one ledger. Each has its own details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area — and each has its own statement.
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.

IBEDC's published phone lines, email and complaints page, what to tell them, how to keep a reference and where to escalate in Oyo.
Report an IBEDC fault through the numbers on ibedc.com (07001239999, 09155009999, 08055009999, 09062029009 or 09062039009), by email to customercare@ibedc.com, or through the Make/Track Complaints page on IBEDC's website, and keep the reference you are given. If the fault is on a Band A feeder, NERC's July 2025 order requires IBEDC to publish daily supply hours and explain failures that last two days.
No light in the house can mean five different things: your prepaid credit has run out, a breaker in your own wiring has tripped, the service cable to your building has a fault, the transformer or feeder serving your street is down, or IBEDC is shedding load. Only the last three are IBEDC faults, and each is reported the same way. A few minutes of checking first makes your report faster to act on.
IBEDC's own website lists the following channels. Numbers change from time to time, so compare them with the footer of ibedc.com before you call.
| Channel | What IBEDC publishes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Phone | 07001239999, 09155009999, 08055009999, 09062029009, 09062039009 | Outages, dangerous faults, quick logging |
| customercare@ibedc.com | Faults you want on record, with photos | |
| Website | Make/Track Complaints page on ibedc.com | Logging a complaint and checking its status |
| Customer portal | customer.ibedc.com | Account and bill details |
| Head office | Capital Building, 115 MKO Abiola Way (former Ring Road), Ibadan | Written complaints and escalation |
One older IBEDC press release shows the main line as 0700123999, one digit short of the number on the current site. Use the version on the live website.
A fault report that IBEDC can act on has the details its staff need to find you on the network. Have these ready before you call or write:
Ask for a complaint or ticket number every time and write it down with the date, the time and the name of the person you spoke to. If you used email, keep the thread. Without a reference you cannot show that IBEDC was told, and any later escalation becomes your word against theirs. The Make/Track Complaints page on IBEDC's website is the place to check progress against that reference.
If you are on a Band A feeder, the regulator has set extra duties. NERC's July 2025 Supplementary Order for IBEDC requires the company to keep a rapid response team for each customer cluster or business unit, to publish that team's email and contact numbers on its website, and to circulate them by bulk SMS and social media. It must also publish each Band A feeder's rolling seven-day average hours of supply by 9:00 am the next day, and, where it misses its committed supply on a Band A feeder for two consecutive days, publish an explanation and a restoration timeline by 10:00 am the following day.
Under the same order, a Band A feeder that misses its committed service level for seven consecutive days is downgraded to the band its recorded supply matches, and customers on feeders that average more than 18 but less than 20 hours are due compensation while the feeder stays in Band A. If outages are frequent rather than one-off, record each one: it is the evidence you will need. Our guide to IBEDC Band A downgrades and refunds covers the next steps.
If IBEDC does not resolve the fault, escalate with your reference number. Note that Oyo State, where Ibadan sits, is a special case. NERC ordered the transfer of regulatory oversight of the Oyo electricity market to the Oyo State Electricity Regulatory Commission (OSERC) in an order dated 5 August 2024, with the transition due to be completed by 5 February 2025, and IBEDC was told to set up a subsidiary for Oyo. We could not confirm OSERC's complaint channels or whether the NERC customer forum office in Ibadan still takes cases, so ask IBEDC in writing which regulator handles escalations for your address. Our general guide on complaining about your DisCo and escalating to NERC explains the usual route outside Oyo.
Once supply is back, you can buy electricity tokens in the Pryme app through Bills; check that your DisCo is listed. If you need proof of a token purchase for a dispute, you can generate a verifiable receipt with VerifyDoc.ai, which anyone can check is genuine and unaltered.
IBEDC's website lists 07001239999, 09155009999, 08055009999, 09062029009 and 09062039009, plus customercare@ibedc.com. Check the live site footer before calling, as numbers can change.
Confirm your meter has units and your breakers are on, check with neighbours, then call or email IBEDC with your meter or account number, address and feeder name if you know it. Ask for a reference.
IBEDC's published pages we checked do not state a repair timeline. For Band A feeders, NERC requires IBEDC to explain failures lasting two consecutive days and give a restoration timeline.
Oyo State's electricity market was transferred from NERC to OSERC under a 2024 NERC order. Ask IBEDC in writing which regulator handles your escalation, and keep your complaint reference.
