Flipping
the script on
startup banking
Banks aren’t designed for the pace and creativity of startups.
From unnecessary red tape to clunky rules and processes, banks usually block progress rather than accelerate it.
At Mercury, we’re reimagining the startup banking experience by combining the stability of a bank with intuitive technology that gives founders more control, more time, and more peace of mind — transforming banking from an obstacle to a catalyst.
Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.

Banking is foundational
to every company,
but most people have low expectations for it by default.
In 2019, our co-founders Immad Akhund (CEO), Jason Zhang (COO), and Max Tagher (CTO) created Mercury in order to defy those low expectations — and to make doing so a habit. This aim still drives everything we do at Mercury.
We believe the key
to our success as a company lies in consistently defying expectations, day after day — as a matter of course.
Product-led thinking
Product thinking is a critical part of everyone’s work at Mercury —
from our significant number of former founders to our diligent teams of master coders,
support professionals, and thoughtful creatives. All employees are encouraged
to question processes, voice their opinions, relish açaí bowls … and prioritize quality.

One last thing —
Our tea.
You may have noticed: we like to reference, drink, and share tea. Back in Mercury’s early days, it became custom for our team members to serve each other tea. Since then, we’ve sought to share the beauty of this inviting ritual with our customers, too.
