Your Mercury Treasury account is held in your name at our partner, Apex Clearing Corp, a FINRA-regulated broker-dealer that has been in business for over 40 years. This means that every time a customer signs up for Mercury Treasury, we open an account in their name at Apex, which holds their funds in custody. A few other things to note about Apex:
  • It maintains a detailed record of each Treasury customer’s holdings and is prohibited from using any of these funds or securities for its own purposes — or from commingling them with its own customers’ holdings.
  • It is regulated by the SEC and FINRA.
  • It is regularly audited and must publish its financial statements to the public.
  • It is required to keep excess capital on hand to ensure customer deposits are protected.
We’ve worked with experienced regulatory counsel to set this up. Regardless of what happens to Mercury, any funds and securities held at Apex will remain safe and accessible.

Funds invested via Mercury Treasury are protected in several ways:
  • Your Mercury Treasury account is held in your name with our partner, Apex Clearing Corp. Apex Clearing Corp maintains a detailed record of each Treasury customer’s holdings and is prohibited from using any of these funds or securities for its own purposes, and from commingling them with its own customers’ holdings. Because assets are held in your name, they remain available to be transferred to an account at another broker in any of the following events:
    • Mercury bankruptcy, financial instability, sale or acquisition
    • Apex bankruptcy, financial instability, sale or acquisition
  • Apex is regulated by the SEC and FINRA, and is regularly audited and must publish financial statements to the public. Apex is also required to keep excess capital on hand to ensure customer deposits are protected.
  • Mercury Treasury offers two mutual funds that invest in lower-risk, short-term debt securities, such as Treasury bills, municipal debt, or corporate bonds. See the fund prospectuses for details on each fund’s holdings:
  • Mercury Treasury accounts are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insurance. This applies in the event that assets are lost or missing from a customer’s accounts during the time a financially-troubled or failed brokerage firm is being unwound. SIPC protects $500,000 worth of securities and cash, with maximum protection for cash of $250,000 and $250,000 in investments.
