💯 Make sure your budget always adds up with precise percentage-based auto-transfer rules

Percentage-based auto-transfer rules for Profit First accounting

Nix painstaking calculations and manual transfers with percentage-based auto-transfer rules that put your profits first. Deploy precise auto-transfers from your main checking account to your various sub-accounts — like owners’ compensation or taxes — in your preferred percentages either daily, twice a month, or by transaction.

💳 Never risk a declined credit transaction with limit-based autopay

As if your autopay rules couldn’t get any more automatic, we’re introducing limit-based autopay rules. Keep your credit alive by triggering a partial or full payment towards your IO2 balance whenever you dip below a certain level of available credit.

🔖 Skip the sifting — export your credit transactions as their own CSVs

If you enjoy exporting your credit transactions manually, we won’t stand in your way — but our new feature might make you think twice. In no time, you can directly download your Mercury credit card transactions as CSVs. This makes integrating with your go-to accounting software and attributing expenses to specific departments that much smoother. Find it next to the other features on your Data Export page.

Bite-sized improvements:

  • Curious when your incoming transfer will hit? Hover over any pending record on your Transactions page to see the estimated hold time for when your funds will be available.
  • Drag-and-drop bill pay can now be used with international wires.
  • New in the iOS Mercury app: a dedicated Payments tab where you can easily request a payment, modify existing requests, and cancel scheduled payments.
  • The latest iteration of our Xero integration allows you to categorize incoming and outgoing transactions directly in Mercury — and automatically sync invoice details (including internal notes and attachments) to Xero. That means every invoice paid on Mercury will generate a bill in Xero.
  • Dashboard updates launching exclusively to Mercury Venture Debt users: tooltips that indicate unavailable funds that are tranched or expired, details around how interest and principal payments are calculated, improved data visualization for your loan availability, and draw request statuses.
