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.

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.

Your Nigerian line was barred over NIN. What each network's own pages say about linking from abroad, and how to check the link with *996#.
Check first by dialling the NCC's universal code *996# from the Nigerian line, which shows whether the SIM is registered and linked to a NIN. From the UAE, Glo's own page tells diaspora customers to email customercare@gloworld.com with the subject "Diaspora NIN linking"; for other networks, the dependable remote option is the network's proxy process run by someone in Nigeria, and MTN publishes one.
For many people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi the Nigerian SIM is the line their bank sends codes to. When the NCC's NIN-SIM directive was enforced, lines that were not linked were barred, and for people abroad that often meant losing access to bank tokens and BVN-linked services overnight.
The NIN-SIM directive dates from December 2020. NAN reported on 30 July 2024 that the NCC had reviewed the deadline several times, set full barring for some subscribers, and then, after disconnections, directed operators to reactivate lines "for a limited period" to allow linkage. Any barred line now needs the link done before it can be relied on.
The NCC's harmonised short codes list *996# as the universal code for verifying SIM registration and NIN-SIM linkage on any network. The NIN you link must be your own, and the name must be the one on your registration. If your line is roaming in the UAE, check whether your network charges for USSD while roaming before dialling.
| Network | Route from abroad (per its own page, Oct 2026) |
|---|---|
| Glo | Email customercare@gloworld.com with subject "(Diaspora NIN linking)"; if you have no NIN, contact a NIMC centre in your country |
| MTN | No diaspora linking route on the pages we opened; a proxy SIM swap is described, with your passport data page if you are abroad |
| Airtel | Not confirmed on an official page in Oct 2026 |
| T2 (formerly 9mobile) | Not confirmed on an official page in Oct 2026 |
Glo's NIN page tells customers to dial *996# to check. If the reply says the NIN is not linked, customers in Nigeria visit a Glo outlet; customers abroad are told to email customer care with the subject line given above. Include your Glo number, full name as registered, NIN and a copy of your passport data page, and keep the email thread.
MTN's SIM swap page describes a proxy route that someone in Nigeria can use for you. Both you and the proxy need a NIN; you provide photo ID (your NIN ID and, if abroad, your passport data page), a court or notary affidavit stating the reason, proof of ownership (the SIM pack, eSIM QR or an affidavit) and an application letter with indemnity. The proxy must have been an MTN customer for over 30 days and must not have acted as a proxy for someone else in the last 90 days. The page states no fee or timing. A swap also re-registers the line, so this is the route when a barred MTN line needs to be brought back.
Exact MTN steps are covered in the Nigeria library's MTN NIN linking guide.
We could not confirm a published diaspora NIN-linking route for Airtel or T2 on their own pages in October 2026. Contact each network's customer care and ask specifically about customers abroad; the Nigeria library's Airtel guide covers the local route.
You cannot link what you do not have. Enrol with a NIMC-licensed partner operating in the UAE first; see NIN enrolment in the UAE. Make sure the name on your NIN matches the name your SIM is registered in.
Once the link is confirmed, the remaining risk is the line lapsing from disuse or being recycled. Keep it topped up and make an occasional call or send a message from it while roaming, or use it in a dual-SIM phone. If your bank still sends codes to this number, a working line matters more than the cost of roaming.
In January 2021 NIMC warned about a fake NIN-SIM linking app that collected NINs and BVNs. The same risk exists in WhatsApp groups that offer to link lines for a fee. Use only the networks' own channels or a trusted person in Nigeria, and never share a one-time code.
A barred Nigerian line can lock you out of SMS codes. Pryme's security uses an authenticator app rather than SMS codes, plus a transaction PIN, so access to your Pryme account does not depend on a Nigerian SIM working while you are in the UAE. The Personal Assistant can also remind you to top up the line before it lapses.
Glo's page tells diaspora customers to email customercare@gloworld.com with the subject "(Diaspora NIN linking)".
The NCC lists *996# as the universal code to verify SIM registration and NIN-SIM linkage.
MTN describes a proxy SIM swap needing both NINs, your passport data page if abroad, an affidavit, proof of ownership and an indemnity letter.
We could not find one on Airtel's own pages in October 2026. Ask Airtel customer care.
