The [Mercury] application process was easy and fast. It felt straightforward and nonsense-free. I didn’t feel that I had to be on the lookout for sneaky fees.

FAQ
What do I need to apply for an account?
You’ll need a U.S. company with a federal EIN, your company’s official formation documents, and a picture of your government ID (e.g., a passport or U.S. driver’s license).
Customers must have some type of existing or planned operations in the U.S. and a U.S. or international address for their principal place of business. This can be a residential address, but may not be a registered agent, PO box, or UPS box address. Our customer base includes startups and ecommerce companies, as well as venture capital firms with entities in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and United Arab Emirates. Upon applying, we’ll review to ensure you have up-to-date formation documents and otherwise satisfy our onboarding requirements.
We cannot currently support accounts for businesses with founders or financial controllers living in the countries and regions listed here.
Are my deposits FDIC-insured?
Mercury checking and savings deposits are FDIC-insured up to $5M3 through our partner banks and use of sweep networks. As a broader effort, we are working on expanding all coverage even further. You can learn more about FDIC insurance here.
Where are my funds kept?
Mercury works with two FDIC-insured banks, Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust. You can locate your Mercury account’s banking provider by logging in and viewing the banking partner listed on your Mercury statements.
Through each of our partner banks, Mercury customers get access to a sweep network of trusted banks. This sweep network provides up to $5M in FDIC insurance by automatically spreading your deposits across up to 20 different banks, without requiring you to open and manage separate bank accounts.
Our Treasury* product is offered through an additional partner, Apex Clearing Corp, who is a FINRA-regulated broker-dealer. The mutual funds that you can invest in through Mercury Treasury are managed by Morgan Stanley and Vanguard.
Can I apply for an account if I’m not physically in the United States or a United States resident?
Yes, we’re proud to support U.S. companies founded by people across the globe, as well as founders and venture capital firms with an entity based in the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and United Arab Emirates. Customers must have some type of existing or planned operations in the U.S. and a U.S. or international address for their principal place of business. This can be a residential address, but may not be a registered agent, PO box, or UPS box address.
We cannot currently support accounts for business with founders or financial controllers living in the countries and regions listed here.
We’d love to support residents of more countries over time, so let us know at hello@mercury.com if you live in one of the above countries and we’ll let you know if anything changes.
What does it cost to use Mercury for businesses?
Mercury business banking is free to use. There are no account minimums, overdraft fees, monthly fees, or account opening fees. However, certain advanced features may incur fees. These include: making mass payments on our API, accessing Mercury Treasury account management, making non-USD business debit or credit card transactions, exchanging money in non-USD currencies, and sending USD internationally with optional premium processing.
Customers have the option to select a paid plan (starting at $35/month) for access to these advanced payment workflows, including more invoicing features, our enriched NetSuite automations, and reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses for more than 5 active users per month. Learn more about pricing here.
If your business doesn’t need access to these advanced financial workflows quite yet, don’t worry. Our business checking and savings bank accounts are free for everyone. Anyone can send payments from their Mercury account without subscribing to a paid plan. When you’re ready, you can upgrade to access the advanced features at the price point that makes sense for your company and volume of business.
