Yes, you can withdraw money from your Mercury Treasury account at any time — the time it takes to transfer out will vary depending on which fund the money is invested in. Money invested in J.P. Morgan U.S. Treasury Plus Money Market Fund is available the same day if the transfer is initiated by 3pm ET, subject to partner processing times. Money invested in Morgan Stanley Ultra-Short Income Portfolio will be available as soon as 1-2 business days later, but it can take up to 4 business days.

Your Mercury Treasury account is held in your name at our partner, Apex Clearing Corp, a FINRA-regulated broker-dealer that has been in business for over 40 years. This means that every time a customer signs up for Mercury Treasury, we open an account in their name at Apex, which holds their funds in custody. A few other things to note about Apex:
  • It maintains a detailed record of each Treasury customer’s holdings and is prohibited from using any of these funds or securities for its own purposes — or from commingling them with its own customers’ holdings.
  • It is regulated by the SEC and FINRA.
  • It is regularly audited and must publish its financial statements to the public.
  • It is required to keep excess capital on hand to ensure customer deposits are protected.
We’ve worked with experienced regulatory counsel to set this up. Regardless of what happens to Mercury, any funds and securities held at Apex will remain safe and accessible.

Funds invested via Mercury Treasury are protected in several ways:
  • Your Mercury Treasury account is held in your name with our partner, Apex Clearing Corp. Apex Clearing Corp maintains a detailed record of each Treasury customer’s holdings and is prohibited from using any of these funds or securities for its own purposes, and from commingling them with its own customers’ holdings. Because assets are held in your name, they remain available to be transferred to an account at another broker in any of the following events:
    • Mercury bankruptcy, financial instability, sale or acquisition
    • Apex bankruptcy, financial instability, sale or acquisition
  • Apex is regulated by the SEC and FINRA, and is regularly audited and must publish financial statements to the public. Apex is also required to keep excess capital on hand to ensure customer deposits are protected.
  • Mercury Treasury offers two mutual funds that invest in lower-risk, short-term debt securities, such as Treasury bills, municipal debt, or corporate bonds. See the fund prospectuses for details on each fund’s holdings:
  • Mercury Treasury accounts are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insurance. This applies in the event that assets are lost or missing from a customer’s accounts during the time a financially-troubled or failed brokerage firm is being unwound. SIPC protects $500,000 worth of securities and cash, with maximum protection for cash of $250,000 and $250,000 in investments.

Mercury Treasury investments are held at Apex Clearing Corp, which is insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). In the unlikely event that Mercury’s brokerage firm fails, the SIPC will insure customers up to $500K in securities and cash.

Mercury Treasury is currently available to users with account balances over $500K across all Mercury accounts. We hope to open Mercury Treasury to all users in the future.

Mercury Treasury Solutions with Morgan Stanley is currently available to Mercury account holders that have account balances exceeding $25M. Reach out to [email protected] or contact your personal relationship manager for more details.
