Mercury Account: The Basics


What is Mercury?


Mercury is a fintech company that does everything a bank could do. It is not a bank,  but an online banking platform founded to empower businesses with modern financial tools. Long story short, it provides a seamless banking experience entirely online. 

Although not exactly a bank, it provides a bank account with an account number and routing number.

With Mercury, you can open a business account, manage transactions, integrate with other financial tools, and more, all from the comfort of your computer or mobile device.

Why Mercury?


You’ll love Mercury’s convenience, efficiency, and flexibility. Let’s go through the top 7 key benefits and why entrepreneurs love them:

‘No minimum balance’ requirements


Unlike traditional banks, Mercury doesn’t force that concept ‌and makes it accessible to businesses of all sizes.

  • No costs for opening the account. You don’t need to pay to get one.
  • Free ACH transfers within the United States. You send $100. The receiving party gets $100. No fees for ACH transfers whatsoever.

Built-in expense tracking


You can easily categorize and track business expenses directly within the Mercury dashboard, simplifying budgeting and financial reporting.

Integration with accounting software


Connecting your Mercury account with accounting software can be done easily. It integrates perfectly with Quickbooks and Xero to automate your financial workflows.

Transparent fee structure


Mercury strives for transparency. In other words, it offers straightforward pricing with no hidden fees, and you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.

24/7 customer support


Whenever you find yourself stuck in a problem, Mercury’s responsive customer support team is available around the clock.

How to Create a Mercury Account from Argentina


To open a Mercury business bank account, you must have a US company. 

Don’t be confused. You can do it from anywhere in the world. And YES from Argentina, too. 

Here is a simple explanation of the whole process: to open a US bank account, you need an EIN. To get an EIN, you need to have an LLC. 

It sounds complicated, but it’s straightforward. You have our word.

Plus, with the Neubase process, we handle everything from start to finish. Every step is done in roughly 4 weeks, and it’s mostly a waiting queue for the US authorities to approve your company’s EIN.

Also, here is the Neubase ultimate guide on how to start your US LLC from anywhere.

Having said that, to create a Mercury business account, you must meet certain conditions:

Legal entity


As a foreigner, you must operate as a legal entity, such as a corporation (C-Corp), or LLC (Limited Liability Company). 

Business address


Your business needs to be registered in the United States. Even though you are remotely operating and you don’t need to be a US citizen or resident, your LLC should have a registered physical address in the US for official correspondence. The registered agent’s address does the job.

Your residence


You can run the business from anywhere in the world, except from some countries that are not allowed. These countries are under US sanctions, and therefore US companies must not work with citizens of these countries. These are countries such as North Korea, Russia, Iran, and a few others.

On top of those countries, ‌residents of some restricted countries also cannot open business bank accounts for their US companies. The full list of restricted and prohibited countries is available here.

Compliance


Compliance with financial regulations is crucial. You may need to provide additional information or documentation to ensure compliance.

US institutions have flagged some countries as risky countries due to connections with criminal and terrorist groups, low levels of fight against money laundering, and insufficient levels of rules of law.

If you come from such a country, Mercury or any other financial company is obliged to ask you for additional documentation, such as a utility bill, insurance policy with your name on it, pay stub, etc.

Business Activity


Your business activity should be legal and not involved in any prohibited or restricted industries. Mercury may have specific guidelines regarding the types of businesses they accept. Some of the restricted industries include gambling, adult entertainment, cannabis products, and similar risky activities.

Preparing your documentation


Let’s say – you decided to go on this road by doing it yourself. 

Remember to verify your identity and business information during the account creation process. 

You’ll need to provide certain documentation. While the specific documents required may vary depending on factors such as your business structure and location, here are some commonly requested documents:

– Proof of identity: Valid government-issued identification documents, which for foreigners means a passport, for the individual(s) associated with the account. Mercury requires this for each LLC member who owns at least 25% of the LLC.

– Proof of address: Utility bills, bank statements, or other official documents verifying your residential or business address. Not all members are required to submit this, but if you are from a risky country, they will ask for it.

– Business formation documents: Depending on your business structure, you may need to provide documents such as articles of incorporation, partnership agreements, or registration certificates. You also need to provide the EIN letter to the IRS.

– Tax identification number: For businesses registered in the United States, you’ll need to provide your Employer Identification Number (EIN).
