What do you like best about Mercury?

It was easy to set up an account with Mercury and is easy to set up additional accounts.

What do you dislike about Mercury?

Mercury makes it really hard to track and view incoming transfers. We have had so many problems with this and its caused huge issues with our clients. Mercury never seems to want to help us solve the issues much.

Needing a digital bank account and not being able to travel to the US to open one.

"Declining levels of service"
What do you like best about Mercury?

It was relatively easy to get set up and started.

What do you dislike about Mercury?

1. Poorly thought out transition to new payment provider. They canceled physical debit cards prior to distributing new ones, canceled virtual cards and replaced the numbers, forcing us to change payment setup with every vendor. 2. Virtually no customer support. We have an international wire that was sent nearly two weeks ago to us. Our client had it traced and it has been received by Mercury. Emails from customer support indicate that there is an issue, they hope that our funds will be deposited eventually, someday. They have become completely unreliable as a way to receive funds from clients and pay vendors - kind of what a bank is expected to do... Update: they provided me with a provisional credit while the issues with inbound wire transfers get sorted out. I still have serious concerns about their reliability, so I can't recommend them, but it is only fair to acknowledge their efforts to deal with their wire transfer issue.

What problems is Mercury solving and how is that benefiting you?

To be honest, Mercury is causing more problems than it is solving. After Mercury issued new debit card numbers, I still have at least 30 vendors left that I need to update payment info for, but it doesn't really matter because I can't get access to wire payments from my clients and I can't talk to anyone to find out what the issue is, so I can't pay the vendors anyway.

"Wait times for deposits are so slow, they are detrimental to my business!"
What do you like best about Mercury?

The webite is good. Kudos to the developers for keeping good UX in the front of their minds when designing and deploying. But that's where my pros end for Mercury. The services they offer are no different than literally any other bank around. And the one thing I really need them to do, which is process deposits in a timely fashion, is absolutely terrible. And they just don't really care, based on my conversations with their customer service (when I was finally able to reach someone)

What do you dislike about Mercury?

Wait times for deposits are impossibly slow. We're talking at least 7 business days, or 10 days in normal parlance. And these aren't weird deposits, either. These are regular and recurring payments made by my clients. I'm going to have to look for another bank. The wait times are also getting worse. Customer service does not help.

What problems is Mercury solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems that Mercury purports to solve, mainly easy-to-use business banking, are simply not addressed. I feel that there are better options out there, so how exactly is Mercury contributing to the startup world by offering an inferior financial product?

"Good review"
What do you like best about Mercury?

Simplicity, ease of use, I like that I can download the data. Also, that it has a treasury fund where I can invest my excess liquidity and get a return in the meanwhil

What do you dislike about Mercury?

I don't like that when wires are too big, it takes a long time to process. Also, it doesn't give me a reason why it's taking long to process. Also, withdrawing money from the treasury fun takes too long.

What problems is Mercury solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem being solved is that of a modern bank where I can create users and assign roles in a simple way without going through tons of paperwork. Also, it's easy to analyZE DATA

I love to use Mercury as a latam founder. Easy to use, they understand our legal structures and sending money to Mexico is charge free. IMercury is the best partner.

Probably how fast we receive our physical cards. I understand they are internationally delivered, but would love to have them delivered quicker. That's the only thing I dislike

Bank account and receiving founding and expense management. I'm an international founder and having a traditional US bank account its difficult so Mercury helps on that
