Frequently asked questions

Yes — both ACH payments and domestic wires are free to send on Mercury.

You can convert USD to one of 40+ supported local currencies when sending an international wire on Mercury. The exchange includes a 1% currency conversion fee on the USD amount. These are processed and sent by Mercury within 1–3 business days of being requested, but can take up to 5 business days to reach your recipient. Including your wire purpose will help make sure your wire processes faster.

Absolutely. You can pay contractors via ACH, domestic/international wire, or check — directly from Mercury. To make things even easier, you can collect W-9s and file 1099-NECs and MISCs without using any third-party tools. 1099 filing is free for Plus/Pro subscribers or $5 per form.

No. Your vendors do not need to open a Mercury account in order to receive payments. You can enter their payment details directly, or invite them to fill out their own information via a secure link that we'll send them.

You can set approval policies based on dollar amounts and choose who can approve payments. Also:
  • Non-admin users can be approvers
  • You can enable separation of duties (so creators can’t approve their own payments)
  • Approvals apply to sending money and reimbursements

Yes — here are a few ways to get started:
  • Add recipients yourself: This is best if you already have vendor details on hand (or you’re starting with a short list). Just create recipients by entering their payment details directly.
  • Invite recipients to add their details: If you’d rather have your vendors enter their details themselves, you can send them a secure email invite. Invite recipients one at a time or multiple at once via CSV.
  • Import recipients via CSV: Want to migrate your entire vendor database to Mercury all at once? Just upload all the payment details via CSV.
  • Start forwarding bills to Mercury: If you want bills to start flowing into Mercury as they arrive (without changing every vendor right away), you can use your dedicated bill forwarding email ([email protected]). Vendors can send invoices there directly, or you can forward them yourself. Bills will show up in your Mercury inbox for review and payment.
