As a Canadian citizen with a US-based business, getting an account with a traditional bank was really difficult. With Mercury, creating an account was easy.

Virtual accounts, unlimited accounts, accounts with custom names. An app that actually works. You’d think these things would be common sense, but only Mercury truly nails them.

Mercury makes security a top priority. Here are some measures we take to ensure your security:
- Require HTTPS on all pages, and use HSTS to ensure browsers only ever connect to Mercury over a secure connection.
- Employ a third party to perform penetration testing each year to check for vulnerabilities.
- Hash and store all passwords with the bcrypt algorithm — never as plaintext.
- Use time-based one-time passwords for two-factor authentication. We never send authentication codes via insecure channels like SMS.
- Encrypt our database and all uploaded images, with additional encryption for sensitive data like social security numbers.
- Never store your debit or credit card numbers.
Even though opening a Mercury account is free, we make money in a number of different ways. We earn interest on deposits, foreign exchange processing on international wires, and fees paid on Mercury Treasury and Mercury Venture Debt. Additionally, when you use your debit card or IO credit card, Visa and Mastercard charge a fee to the merchants — we receive a percentage of this fee, known as interchange. We also have subscription revenue from our financial workflows products and Mercury Personal.
Yes, you can send checks for free through your Mercury dashboard by going through the Send Money flow. For now, we don’t issue checkbooks and third-party checks can’t be drawn on Mercury accounts.
Mercury Working Capital offers loans with competitive terms designed to help ecommerce businesses grow. A working capital loan is a great option for ecommerce businesses who need short-term financing to bridge the gap between outgoing expenses and incoming revenue. These loans are especially useful when gearing up for a busy season (like the holidays) and the funds can help cover expenses such as payroll, rent, inventory purchases, and other short-term liabilities that you might otherwise have trouble covering when dealing with cash flow fluctuations.The best way to find out if you’re eligible for Mercury Working Capital is by going through our quick eligibility questionnaire.
