Mercury is a San Francisco financial technology company that provides banking and financial operations software to startups and small businesses. It is not itself a bank: customer deposits are held at partner institutions including Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., while Mercury builds the accounts, cards, payments and software layer on top. Founded in 2017 by Immad Akhund, Max Tagher and Jason Zhang, it serves more than 300,000 customers and raised a $200 million Series D at a $5.2 billion valuation in May 2026. In April 2026 it received conditional approval for a national bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

A banking and finance platform for startups and small businesses, offering business checking and savings accounts, debit cards, ACH and wire payments, and a web and mobile application for managing company finances.
