Advantages Over Traditional Banks

Mercury does not charge any account fees or require a minimum deposit to open a business checking and savings account. There are also no fees for check or ACH transfers or for receiving a domestic or USD international wire.

Another advantage to Mercury is that it takes a software-first approach to banking. You get access to Mercury’s API, which enables you to build custom integrations to link your bank accounts to the rest of your business software. Mercury also supports premade integrations for Plaid, Stripe, Gusto, Quickbooks, and eCommerce payment processors like PayPal and Shopify.

Cutting-Edge Banking Services

Mercury has several high-tech features, including the ability to create virtual debit cards for your employees. These cards can easily be used for online purchases and are simple to activate and deactivate from your account dashboard. You also have tight control over users’ access to your online account, and can use Mercury’s API to write custom rules for how employees can use your virtual debit cards. 

Mercury also offers a feature known as Mercury Treasury, which enables you to invest money in your savings account in short-term bonds and government securities. You can also set up custom rules to control how money flows between your Treasury portfolio, savings account, and checking account.

Traditional Banking Services 

Mercury does not offer any traditional banking services. The company does not have physical locations but does offer fee-free access to Allpoint ATMs.

Interest Rates and Fees

Mercury doesn’t charge any monthly fees or transaction fees and doesn’t require a minimum deposit to open an account. There is a flat 1% currency exchange fee.

Customer Service

New member can reach out through email only. The company typically responds to messages within several hours during weekdays and within 24 hours on weekends. Members can chat with the Mercury team Monday-Friday, 6am to 5pm PT.

Email: help@mercury.com

Mobile App

Mercury has a mobile app for iOS devices and Android devices. The app enables you to monitor your account balances, track and search your transactions, and create and manage virtual debit cards on the go. You can also deposit paper checks using the mobile app and transfer money between your checking and savings accounts.

Security

Mercury uses encryption on all web pages and stores your account password using the ultra-safe bcrypt algorithm. The company never stores your debit card number in your account dashboard and uses additional encryption for sensitive information like social security numbers. Mercury also requires that you use an authentication app for two-factor authentication instead of SMS, which could be compromised.

Mercury offers up to $5 million in FDIC insurance.

The portal is slick but counterbalanced by delays for check, wire, ach and deposit reviews, which decrease overall efficiency of the platform. We see limits and restrictions on our ability to access OUR MONEY and bump against check deposit limits and wire limits and holds on our funds where they ask for significant levels of documentation that none of our other banking relationships demand. It is unclear to me whether the juice is worth the squeeze for a slick portal v. a traditional banking relationship for a high balance relationship like ours. We cannot rely fully on Mercury and continue to use traditional banks where we receive white glove ACTUAL PEOPLE service and do not have to wait 2-3 business days from a generic email address to review our ability to access our capital, which is concerning when it happens, which is frequent.

No response from their customer service team to lost funds
We were wired funds to our account from an investor which never reached our account. It's been almost 3 weeks and I cannot get a response from their customer service to help trace the missing funds. Mercury probably has the worst customer service I have experienced at any financial institution, they just don't respond to you!! I have followed up numerous times and over the last three weeks sometimes they respond, others they don't. I ave provided them all requested information and have followed up with them 3 times again, but no response!

Bad marketing and CS
I received payment from Mercury, and saw a promo "Open an account and receive $500". No mention of a referral (I've seen get $250, give your referrer $250). I see no details of what it entails but I figure I'll see it as I open the account - but I saw nothing. I open. my account and don't see $500 so I ask CS - who seems SO confused of what I'm talking about. Is it that hard to track?? I literally clicked the link to open the account. Then, they say they need to contact my client. I ask not to, this isn't a referral and I rather not ping a client about personal matters. Of course they already did. I then ask what the qualifiers are- they say I need $10K- fine but why isn’t it anywhere in fine print 😂. I transfer $10K. I then get $250. Not $250? Another email. Finally got the whole $500. Banks are suppose to be detailed, trustworthy and very very clear. This felt like a small start up still figuring things out (which I 100% get and want to support, but then CS should be ON IT).

20th Century Bank in a 21st Century World
For a supposed cutting-edge, next-generation startup-focused financial platform, Mercury has the most antiquated and restrictive KYC rules of any financial or legal institution I've ever encountered in my 20+ years in business. That they advertise themselves as a 21st century global financial platform is something of a joke. We are a U.S. Corporation with 100% U.S. Shareholders with a 20+ year history, a leader in our industry. We have a dozen different accounts with major financial institutions like Bank of America, Citibank, Capital One, U.S. Bank, PayPal, Elavon, FirstData, and several others, who have no problem to verify the company and do business with us. But not Mercury. We didn't fit into their little tiny box of an idea of what a company should be, either an individual who works out of his/her home, or a brick-and-mortar company with a storefront and on-site employees. There are no other types of companies in 2023 according to Mercury. Real companies don't work remotely, or use shared office spaces, according to Mercury, not even online companies or e-commerce service companies. Only if you're an individual working out of your home and register your company to your home address. But if you have a real corporation, you must have a brick-and-mortar storefront with employees stationed there, utility bills, etc. For a company that bills itself as an online platform, it is exceedingly unfriendly to e-commerce or remote working companies. Mercury jerked me around for days, refusing to verify our corporation because I couldn't produce a utility bill as it's included in our rent at our shared office space. They gave only the other option of a bank statement, but all our bank statements show our mailing address for obvious reasons - they are sent there. I showed them business licenses, legal documents, public documentation of all kinds to help them to know their customer, as well as a 20-year history of our industry-leading company, but because we work remotely in different locations, and don't have a utility bill, we are not someone that Mercury wants to associate with. They declined our account application. I don't know if it is a Mercury policy to discriminate against 21st century business models, or if the particular representative reviewing my application just couldn't think outside the box, but either way this was a very frustrating, time wasting experience, that even after I provided everything they asked me for after many back and forths, they still declined the account. I can only imagine what kind of experience I would have encountered if my application had been approved. There are plenty of recent reviews that validate that concern. It is difficult to trust in any online institution that discriminates against other online institutions and is more old-school and pigeon-hole than any major national bank. I learned about Mercury from a recommendation on an website for e-business. I will write to them now to ask them to reconsider their recommendation, as this was a total waste of my time. It's not like we needed this account, we have plenty of accounts, but what they advertise sounded like a good fit for a 21st century global business model. It's not.

The Mercury team told me that they sent the remaining funds in my bank account to my address, but they didn't respond to my message at all, even not providing a tracking number. And I couldn't receive it even after 2 weeks. I sent them many messages, but they were not supportive. It's really frustrating... I really regret to use this service.

Design Slaps; Could Work On Underlying Banking
I've been a fan of Mercury for years. I've used it multiple times for multiple businesses. The care for design and user experience is great, and the continuous addition of features is wonderful. Support has been sweet and kind. My one complaint is just some parts about the actual banking. The threshold to obtain a yield on funds is too high. In this interest rate environment, it should be trivial to offer *some* kind of yield on all deposits. If that entails something like accounts below a threshold receiving 1.5% less yield, then that'd be fine, but that's not the case here. If Mercury can improve access to yield, I'd give five stars, easy.

Consistently adding great new features!
Mercury has consistently added new valuable features while keeping flexibility. The fact that we can open multiple checking accounts and even keep a zero balance in some accounts while using the auto account transfer features is outstanding. Because of these newly added features, I am going to be moving most of our banking funds into Mercury from the "brick-and-mortar" banks that are so inflexible and charge such high unreasonable fees! I am also going to check out the new dba account feature I saw that you added as I am very interested in setting up those accounts and moving my dba accounts over to Mercury as well.

Mercury Bank, Terrible Service
I cant believe how Mercury bank's service has declined over the past few months. Still awaiting a wire transfer from the UK to be credited to my account. Its over 2 weeks since the funds was paid. I have sent a few emails asking for an update and am yet to receive one response. Posted on my LinkedIn and got a response and 3hrs later still no feedback. Asked for feedback again and it was to be escalated. I have been promoting Mercury bank to all my ecommerce clients but that stops now. When dealing with clients money you need to ensure you offer top notch service especially being a virtual bank else you might as well close shop.

Uncredited International Wire
I sent an international wire to our Mercury account on Oct 20 and it still has not been credited. I wrote to their (extremely slow, inefficient) cust service chat who after 2 days said they needed the MT103 from the sending bank. After spending many hours of my time, I got the MT103 and sent it to Mercury. They have still not responded. I am part of a startup community where other founders complain of the same situation, ie uncredited international wires. Mercury- please respond!

Missing Funds
Same experience as Phil's listed yesterday. Wire received by Mercury on 11/1, but its 11/3 and they still have not posted it. No response from Mercury. Evolve bank where the account is held answers the phone, but they state that they are receiving a lot of these calls, and have been instructed to route them to a voicemail box. I'm real concerned. UPDATE, Mercury emailed tonight 11/3 9pm confirming they have a problem and are not crediting deposits to customer's accounts. They ask for a week of patience. MY concerns deepen....It appears they have known of this issue for some time and chose not to inform customers....my opinion is take your money and run

Serious decline in service quality
Things have been fine for nearly two years, but the client experience has gone downhill lately. I noticed it when they switched payment providers, canceled our physical bank cards, and didn't ship replacements until after cancelation, making it impossible to use our physical bank card until a new one arrived more than a week later. They also canceled all virtual debit cards and issued new ones with new numbers, forcing us to re-set up payments with all of our vendors. The last straw was an international wire sent to us two weeks ago. Our client had their bank trace the transaction, and it is with Mercury, but not in our account. Update: It took some emails, but they acknowledged the problem and have given me a credit equal to the deposit while we go through the process of sorting out the issue. I've bumped my review up to three stars to acknowledge the effort they put in over the weekend.

We wanted to do all our money services at Mercury but it doesn't make sense for us the way you guys have things set up currently. The credit card requires 50k of capital in the bank, but unfortunately there is no incentive for us to have 50k stored with you guys since money markets elsewhere return 5.5% interest on idle cash. We tried to go with your Treasury solution but you guys won't accept single member LLCs. Please change this in the future and we will gladly move our capital to your platform.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE
I am CEO - Founder of a tour operator business and marketing, communication and representation services for the travel industry. The business is a US LLC in good standing but despite all this this Mercury bank rejected my application to open a business bank account twice. This is all absurd for the reason that traditional US banks (Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase) allow me to do everything without problems. Luckily I already have a business account with Wells Fargo. Furthermore, during the rejection phase Mercury bank does not reveal reasons, so there is a clear lack of transparency. Advice: if you are a US alien non-resident and have a US business, open a business bank account in a traditional US bank (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase) you must physically go to the branch to identify your passport and you need a US physical address but it's about having more stability and professionalism with more advantages in terms of greater financial services.

What an absolute joke. They ask for like 10x the documentation than a bank or the federal government. They're asking for a copy of my office lease.

Suddenly my account was closed
My US software company has been a client of this bank for almost 2 years. On October 7th they deleted my bank card and it stopped working. During the week I was unable to create a new card because... I received an error message in my account. And on October 13, they completely informed me that they would close my account without announcing the reasons. Without a card, I can’t even get money from my account.

More Cons than Pros
I’m torn on whether or not to stay with Mercury. The high FDIC insurance is great and overall the account is fine but the deposit hold time is beyond ridiculous. I’ve seen this complaint by others and their response is that they are working to improve that but every other bank I’ve had doesn’t have any problems clearing a check in 3 business days. Being a new company this holds things up and is becoming a HUGE deterrent for me. They are also one of the few banks that doesn’t have integrated accounting software which is so helpful for small businesses and having to contact the bank to make even minor changes in account information is also a problem seeing as again, no other bank I’ve worked with has done this. They were recommended so when I started my second business I decided to give them a GO but I don’t see growing with this bank.

Unexpected close with no reason, and not returning funds (~$8k)
First, my journey with Mercury was really good. I opened my business bank account with Mercury, and did some financial actions with this account. However, one day, they sent me a message that my account would be closed because of suspicious actions. I am sure I didn't do any suspicious actions with this account. At that time, I had over $8k in my account, and that was totally gone. They said that funds inside an account would be returned, but no news after that. I sent a message to the Mercury service team, but they didn't respond to my message at all. My tiny hope right now is just to return the funds inside an account, not reopening it. Was that really gone with Mercury account? I have been nervous, because I had to pay for my contractors.

Mercury goes ABOVE AND BEYOND
Mercury does exactly what they say they'll do, and then some. They're a no BS org that makes startup banking so simple. We pay bills, pay salary, and soon will raise Seed form their dash. It's so simple. The best part? the support. On numerous times, the CS team has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND any expectation. You know those times when you need a special document, or someone to just explain things to you, they're there. So so grateful!

Approved and then Reversed Decision
I got approved for an account and had my transfer go in it and then I got an email saying they changed their mind and was closing my account. Then I had to retransfer the money I had just transferred in back out which was just an unnecessary hassle and a huge disappointment. I wanted to bring all my business accounts over but I guess I won’t be doing that now
