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.

NIRSAL Microfinance Bank loan products side by side as of October 2026: AGSMEIS, TCF, Amazon women's loan and on-balance-sheet loans, with caveats.
NIRSAL Microfinance Bank (NMFB) offers two kinds of loan: CBN intervention products such as AGSMEIS (reported at up to ₦10 million at 9% over up to seven years, after certified training) and the Targeted Credit Facility, and its own on-balance-sheet loans from ₦50,000. Its Amazon loan lends women's groups of 5 to 10 up to ₦1 million each. All published terms we found are from third-party guides, and intervention windows depend on CBN funding, so confirm with NMFB first.
Last updated: October 2026
| Product | Funding source | Amount | Rate | Tenor and moratorium | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AGSMEIS | CBN intervention | Up to ₦10m (another guide says ₦3m) | 9% a year | Up to 7 years; 18-month moratorium | Farmers and small businesses after certified EDI training |
| AGSMEIS non-interest | CBN intervention | Up to ₦10m | Non-interest | 36 months | As above, non-interest structure |
| Targeted Credit Facility (TCF) | CBN COVID-era stimulus | Households ₦1m; SMEs ₦2.5m | 0% (reported) | 3 years; 6-month moratorium | Households and MSMEs affected by COVID-19 |
| Amazon loan | NMFB | Up to ₦1m | Not published | Not published | Women in groups of 5 to 10, same sector and area, trading 6+ months |
| Salary Advance (SALAD) | NMFB deposits | From ₦50,000 | Not published | Up to 90 days; repayment capped at 33.3% of net pay | Salaried workers employed 6+ months |
| Petty Cash Now-Now | NMFB deposits | From ₦50,000 | Not published | Up to 365 days | Businesses with records |
| Consumer Asset Finance (CAFF) | NMFB deposits | Not published | Not published | Not published | Buying approved household assets |
The TCF was a pandemic-era facility. Whether any intervention window is open in a given month depends on CBN funding; ask the branch whether new applications are being accepted before you start training or paperwork.
NIRSAL (the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending) is separate from the microfinance bank. A May 2026 guide reports that NIRSAL guarantees up to 75% of the credit risk on agricultural value-chain loans made by commercial and microfinance banks. That means the farmer borrows from their own bank, which may lend more readily with the guarantee behind it.
| Product | Documents (reported) | Where to apply (reported) |
|---|---|---|
| All | BVN, valid ID, proof of address, proof of income | Branch or online portal |
| AGSMEIS | CAC registration, business plan, financial statements, TIN, EDI training certificate | Nearest NMFB branch |
| Amazon | Group details; each member trading 6+ months | nmfb.com.ng/amazon or a branch |
| OBSL | Employment letter or business records | obsl-nmfb.com.ng |
| Non-interest | As for the product | nibloans.nmfb.com.ng |
Example only. ₦5,000,000 at 9% a year with an 18-month moratorium, then repaid over the remaining 66 months of a seven-year term. If interest is paid during the moratorium, that is about ₦37,500 a month for 18 months, then roughly ₦96,000 a month for 66 months (our calculation, rounded). Ask NMFB for its actual schedule; a third-party guide's own example did not match standard amortisation.
| Option | Typical size | Rate (as reported) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| NMFB AGSMEIS | Up to ₦10m | 9% | Farmers and small producers willing to take training |
| NMFB Amazon | Up to ₦1m each | Not published | Women traders in groups |
| BOI GLOW | ₦10m micro, ₦50m SME | 7% | Women-led businesses that can meet BOI checks |
| FGN/BOI MSME loan | ₦5m general window | 9% | Registered MSMEs |
| DBN-funded loan via a PFI | Up to ₦200m | Set by lender | Established MSMEs with bank records |
Group products like Amazon rely on members guaranteeing each other. Before joining a group, agree in writing what happens if one member cannot pay, because the others may be asked to cover the shortfall.
Compare NMFB with other lenders in the SME funding directory.
Product terms, channels and timelines are from nairaCompare's guide of 28 January 2026, which cites no primary source. The alternative ₦3m AGSMEIS figure is from Entrepreneurs.ng. The NIRSAL guarantee figure is from a May 2026 SME grants guide. The worked example is our own arithmetic. We could not reach NMFB's own site in October 2026.
Reported limits run from ₦50,000 on own-balance-sheet loans to up to ₦10 million under AGSMEIS. Confirm current limits with NMFB.
AGSMEIS has been reported at 9% a year. Rates for NMFB's own products are not published.
We found no official 2026 notice. It is a CBN-funded product, so ask an NMFB branch whether new applications are being taken.
