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.

I love how easy it is to process payments without having to call to verify each one. Plus, Mercury’s permission structure lets me give the team access to the info they need while keeping the account secure.

Mercury is so intuitive and saves us so much time. Plus, free international transfers save us a ton of money when we pay our suppliers overseas.

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.
