"Let's be clear on this" mans that you're demanding agreement about whatever "this" is. Your grammar is fine, but what's a little odd about your exchange it that if A "clearly" has the power to force B is lend money, then A probably has the power to take it without paying it back. I'd expect clarity along the lines of the following: A: Let's be clear on this: I must have money.
