Your team can operate how you want it to with card only user permission tiers and auto transfers. And all your Android teammates can join the work-from-phone club, too.
Plus, we launched our startup and ecommerce guides to help you think through tough questions like splitting equity between founders.

And we made some great product updates:
We added read-only tokens to our API. Zapierintegrations let you connect your favorite third-party apps. Customize your debit card by adding your business name. Enjoy improved transactions details and enable monthly transaction limits. Use our iOS app for domestic wires and get push notifications on important changes.

Thank you for all the feedback and support that has helped us keep building.

You also built new things

We're happy to celebrate with you.
Graviti is getting necessary home appliances to unbanked LatAm populations. Tag raised Pakistan’s largest seed round of $12M at a $100M valuation. Raycast was #1 product of the day on ProductHunt.

And it’s all from a strong foundation

We now have 201 Mercury employees in 39 cities, including San Francisco, NYC, Portland, Toronto, Nashville, and even Copenhagen.
Every employee gets a unique callsign. This year 119 new callsigns were given.

...and we’re all listening to the holiday album our teammates made to celebrate.
Each employee also gets a wellness budget. Here are some things we spent it on:

We had four hackdays this year: We built a site to showcase how we think about design, created a demo of our full product suite, and even made high-caliber cross stitches.

And we really enjoy pets.

We’re proud of our community and team for everything we’ve accomplished together. And we’re excited for what’s to come: more ways for founders to access capital, more nuanced card management, and many more surprises.
If you have questions or just want to say a merry hello, send us a note at [email protected] We always love to chat.
Thanks,
The Mercury Team
