🧾 Orchestrate your payroll processing with wire drawdowns
In the spirit of spring cleaning, it’s time to scrap manual payroll. Wire drawdowns, sometimes referred to as “reverse wires,” are a convenient way to authorize someone — like your payroll provider — to withdraw funds from your account via wire. Simply visit the Payments page to authorize your payroll provider to pull the funds directly — and from there, contact your payroll provider so they can complete setup with a few final steps.
Currently, wire drawdowns are only available to customers with Choice accounts. If you're interested in this feature but don't see the option in your Mercury dashboard, please reach out to [email protected].
