Frequently asked questions

You’ll need your company’s official formation documents, your IRS-issued EIN document, and a government ID (e.g., a passport or U.S. government identification document – see all acceptable documents here) for at least one person with operating control of the business, as well as  any owner with at least 25% ownership of your company. You'll also need to provide some information about your company and its owner with operating control.Customers must be formed and registered in the United States or a U.S. territory, have some type of existing or planned operations in the U.S., and have a U.S. or international address for their principal place of business. This can be a residential address, but may not be a registered agent, P.O. box, or UPS box address. Once you apply, we’ll review to ensure formation documents are up-to-date and that your company otherwise satisfies our onboarding requirements.We cannot currently support accounts for businesses with founders or financial controllers living in the countries and regions listed here.For more information on eligibility and required documents, please see this article.

Mercury business banking is free to use. There are no account minimums, overdraft fees, monthly fees, or account opening fees. However, certain advanced features may incur fees. These include: making mass payments on our API, accessing Mercury Treasury account management, making non-USD business debit or credit card transactions, exchanging money in non-USD currencies, and sending USD internationally with optional premium processing. Customers have the option to select a paid plan (starting at $35/month) for access to these advanced payment workflows, including more invoicing features, our enriched NetSuite automations, and reimbursing out-of-pocket expenses for more than 5 active users per month. Learn more about pricing here. If your business doesn’t need access to these advanced financial workflows quite yet, don't worry. Our business checking and savings bank accounts are free for everyone. Anyone can send payments from their Mercury account without subscribing to a paid plan. When you're ready, you can upgrade to access the advanced features at the price point that makes sense for your company and volume of business.

Even though opening a Mercury account is free, we make money in a number of different ways. We earn interest on deposits, foreign exchange processing on international wires, and fees paid on Mercury Treasury and Mercury Venture Debt. Additionally, when you use your debit card or IO credit card, Visa and Mastercard charge a fee to the merchants — we receive a percentage of this fee, known as interchange. We also have subscription revenue from our financial workflows products and Mercury Personal.

Your checking and savings deposits are held in your name across a sweep network of multiple regulated banks. Through this program, we’ve upgraded the FDIC insurance on Mercury checking and savings accounts to up to $5M — 20x the per bank limit.In addition to working with our banking partners to keep your funds secure, Mercury’s world-class fraud engineering and compliance teams work together to build tools and processes that spot suspicious activities and stop them in their tracks.

Yes, security is a top priority at Mercury. Here are some measures we take to ensure your security:
  • Require HTTPS on all pages, and use HSTS to ensure browsers only ever connect to Mercury over a secure connection.
  • Employ a third party to perform penetration testing each year to check for vulnerabilities.
  • Hash and store all passwords with the bcrypt algorithm — never as plaintext.
  • Use time-based one-time passwords for two-factor authentication. We never send authentication codes via insecure channels like SMS.
  • Encrypt our database and all uploaded images, with additional encryption for sensitive data like social security numbers.
  • Never store your debit or credit card numbers.
