Digital banking startup Mercury has recently announced that it no longer serves US-domiciled customers with passports from certain countries, including Ukraine, Nigeria, and others. Mercury recently faced federal scrutiny for allowing foreign companies to open accounts through one if its partners, Choice Bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) showed concerns over the fact that Choice Bank had opened Mercury accounts in legally risking countries. To address that, a spokesperson from Mercury stated that the company has updated its eligibility requirements and notified certain customers that it could no longer support them due to their addresses or the locations where they were recording frequent account activities. Some of these locations include, among others, Ukraine, Nigeria, North Korea, Iran, Libya, and Russia. However, the change in policy for Ukrainian people only appears to be applied to founders living in East European country, and not founders living in the US with a Ukrainian passport

Dem Senators To Synapse: Let Customers Access Deposits

Innovation across the payments sector has taken off over the last decade. Driven by automation, speed, security and convenience, electronic payments advances are reshaping back-office workflows and transforming processes historically viewed as static administrative functions. And with the news this week that digital banking startup Mercury is layering software onto its bank accounts, giving its business customers the ability to pay bills, invoice customers and reimburse employees, the benefits of emerging digital innovations across procurement and spend management are top of mind for businesses. “Every scaling company needs financial software to run their business. But today, the critical tools that help teams do seemingly simple tasks like pay bills, manage employee spend, and send invoices are needlessly complex … finance teams have to use multiple tools to run these workflows,” Mercury Co-founder and CEOImmad Akhund said in a Tuesday (May 7) news release

Transforming Back-Office Functions Lets Firms Move Forward With Certainty

Mercury Launches Personal Banking - Fintech Finance

Startup-focused banking FinTech Mercury is getting into the consumer banking business.The company has launched Mercury Personal, designed to help builders in the tech sector optimize their money, according to a Wednesday (April 17) news release.“Many founders and investors are not happy with their bank accounts today and often need to switch between several platforms to access a full suite of services,” Alexey Likuev, head of personal banking at Mercury, said in a news release.“There is a paradox in today’s banking landscape: most neobanks focus on a pretty basic offering aimed at lower-income individuals and the underbanked.”At the same time, he added, traditional banks offer private banking and wealth management services that involve routine communications with a banker, even if it involves simple tasks like sending a wire transfer.“Most founders are just looking for a powerful self-service banking option they can use for their personal needs,” Likuev said. “And that is where Mercury Personal comes in.”According to the release, the offering provides users with high-yield savings accounts, enhanced FDIC insurance and automated money management. Customers can also create multiple checking and savings accounts according to their financial goals, and send “no-fee wires, ACH transfers and checks without the need to talk to a banker.”PYMNTS examined the changing role in banking in a recent conversation with Shaunt Sarkissian, founder/CEO of AI-ID, who spoke with PYMNTS for the “What’s Next in Payments Series: What Is a Bank — the Changing Landscape of Banking and Financial Services.”“Banks still play the role they’ve always played, but as we become digital, as we become mobile and as the banks become branchless, the relationship becomes centered in the technology and the capabilities — not always the individuals, the bankers that knew you,” he said.As that report noted, banks have traditionally been characterized by their brick-and-mortar presence. Sarkissian said that although the nature of banking interactions has evolved, the trust that customers place in their banks is still the same.All the same, technology now lets customers manage their finances online — and often from mobile devices and apps — reducing the need for physical branch visits.“It used to be that mobile was viewed as one of many form factors, and people would primarily access their banking services via the web … but mobile has become the de facto bank interface for the vast majority of consumers and businesses,” Sarkissian said
