Order checkbooks from Mercury
Some payments still call for a physical check — a vendor who only takes paper, a check that goes out with an IRS filing, or just the occasional one-off payment. Now you can order free business checkbooks directly from your dashboard. When it arrives, you'll be ready for the moments when nothing else will do. Each business can order up to six checkbooks per year for free.

Sending free same-day ACH payments
Like USD wires, ACH payments are free on Mercury. And if you send an ACH before 12:00pm PT during business hours funds typically post that same afternoon. Since most recipient banks charge less for ACH payments compared to wires, that means faster payroll, vendor payments, and customer refunds for you. If your payment doesn't qualify for same-day ACH, we'll send it as a next-day payment.
