🧾 Payment receipts
Send payment receipts to everyone you pay right from the Move Money flow, no separate email or screenshot required. You can even send payment receipts for past transactions to vendors, contractors, your ad agency, and beyond.
💸 Scheduled payments
You can now schedule one-time payments on a future date right from our Move Money flow. You can also toggle the payment to repeat from the same page and make sure your contractors are getting paid each month, for example.
📱iOS updates
Issue virtual cards for you and your teammates right from the Mercury iOS app. You can also send payment receipts and put your transaction notes to work — click an address in your notes to view it on a map or a flight number to see its route.

Customer spotlights
We love what our customers are working on. Check out their perks for fellow Mercury users:
Cal.com
- Product: Open-source scheduling infrastructure for everyone
- Origin: Back when Peer Richelson was running a hiring marketplace, he used third-party calendar services for scheduling. This meant the team couldn’t control the workflow, UI, or data flow between the company and its contractors. So he and co-founder Bailey Pumfleet built Cal.com, an open source scheduling infrastructure to take charge of all the code and data.
- Perk: 20% off for six months
Paperclip
- Product: Automated bookkeeping, taxes, and KPI reporting
- Origin: After spending countless hours on administrative tasks, founder and CEO Daniel Chan launched Paperclip to automate the manual processes that go into accounting, finance, and operations, and to empower founders to spend time on what matters.
- Perk: 50% off bookkeeping and tax plan
