The Mercury 2020 Recap

By: Mercury
December 21, 2020

As we wave goodbye to 2020 and gear up for more “no you go ahead” Zoom calls and DASH-boosting dinners, we thought we’d take a look back at how we spent our year together.

You moved a lot of money. Nice work.

2020 Treasury UI
$110M went into Treasury & it’s only been about a week. 484% more e-commerce companies use Mercury now.
International wires & cards UI in 2020
You sent 500,000+ wires. You can now send even more. Plus, 19,000+ debit cards exist, and they look good doing it.

And you did it pretty fast.

You Maximized Efficiency™ this year. On average it took about:

01second

to copy your routing number

13seconds

to send your rent check

15minutes

to signup for a Mercury account

You gave us a lot to work on.

Treasury  is made of 40,400 lines of code, which is neat.
Sebastien working at his laptop
We have an iOS app because Sebastien engineered it.
Veronica cuddling with some dogs!
Veronica helped us get to 66 employees in 9 cities.
Immad working at a desktop
Immad ended his 2.5 year quest for our domain.

Max likes all 27 of our engineers. He's great at high fives.

Wellness is also a part of work. See David strain to be well.

And you worked hard too.

  • Linear raised a $13m Series A. 
  • Wren gave $336k to afforestation. 
  • Trust & Will is a finalist in SXSW Pitch®. 
  • Tandem made Music Rooms.
  • Golden taught us 4,815 things.
Mercury branded tea boxes
We sent out ~5,000 cups of tea to you. We do like tea.

Immad had a big year.

Tweet from Immad about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine that got ~4,500 likes.
~4,500 of you liked this startup-unrelated tweet from Immad.
42 emojis of Charlie Tuna
We made 42 emoji versions of Immad’s callsign, charlietuna, in our team Slack. He hates all of them.

And we all got to know each other a little better.

Portland - Toronto - Nashville - SF - Seattle - NYC - South Bend - Boulder - Santa Barbara

We have 22 pets (including Phil, the lizard), 9 “official offices," and ~900 songs in our #music channel playlist. Feel free to listen to our playlist; it will last you days.

We’re looking for an engineer to build our Android app. If you know someone great, send them our job posting.

We’re also working on user permissions, team spend management, new payment abilities, native invoicing...and a few more big projects.

If you have any feedback, ideas, or just want to say hi, you can always email us at [email protected]. We love to chat.

Thanks,
The Mercury Team
