May 2021 — new debit card features, Zapier integration, read-only API tokens & more

April efforts bring May features: you can now print your company name on your physical debit card.*

Customize your card by going to your settings page and scrolling down to update your card name. Updating this setting will change it for your entire company, and any newly issued cards will have your company's name. A few things to note:

• The name on the card must be 25 characters or less
• If you order a new card, your card number will change
• This is just for physical cards, not virtual cards

Here's more news from Mercury

🔀 Zapier integration is live

You can now use Zapier to automate your workflows across apps. Connect tools like Slack, Gmail, and Stripe directly to your Mercury account activity to automate data entry, create custom notifications, and lots more.

To set it up, head to Zapier and log in or sign up, search for Mercury, and select your integration preferences.

🚀 Raise is back

Applications for our next round of Mercury Raise are now open. This round has even more investors, greater founder-to-founder connections, and in-depth advice from experts. Apply by May 18 with your pitch deck and a little information about your startup.

💻 New read-only API tokens

Cut a step out of your process: users with bookkeeper permissions can now generate read-only API tokens to pull info from the API themselves, such as transaction data to use for accounting purposes. Bookkeepers are still not able to move money in keeping with their existing permissions.
