RECATOOLS Verdict

Command, launched in June 2026, is Mercury's answer to agentic banking: a chat interface for checking cash position and spend, categorising transactions, freezing cards, adjusting limits and drafting payments without digging through the dashboard. The safety design is sound — Command stages each action and nothing moves until you confirm, existing approval rules still apply, and Mercury says card numbers and credentials never reach the AI model. It comes free with every Mercury account, which makes it an easy add rather than a reason to switch. The bigger caveat sits outside AI: Mercury serves US-registered companies through partner banks, so ASEAN operators need a US entity to use it at all, and its own bank charter is only conditionally approved. Strong for US-incorporated startups already banking with Mercury; not relevant to anyone without US banking needs.

What we found

This entry covers Mercury Command, the AI agent inside Mercury, the US business-banking platform; an earlier version of our listing gave it a product name Mercury never used. Command launched in June 2026 for every Mercury business and personal customer, free plan included. You ask in plain language — what is our runway, which vendors did we pay most last quarter — and it answers from your accounts; it can also prepare actions such as payments, card freezes, limit changes and new accounts. Mercury says Command stages each action and executes nothing without the customer's explicit confirmation, that existing permissions, dual approvals and limits still apply, and that card numbers, social security numbers and credentials are never passed to the underlying AI model. It can also hand a conversation to Mercury's round-the-clock human support.

Mercury itself is not yet a bank. Banking runs through partner banks Choice Financial Group and Column N.A.; Evolve Bank & Trust, named in older descriptions, is no longer listed. In April 2026 the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted preliminary conditional approval for a national bank charter, with other regulatory steps still pending. Founded in 2017 by Immad Akhund, Jason Zhang and Max Tagher, Mercury raised a $200 million Series D at a $5.2 billion valuation in May 2026 and says it serves more than 300,000 customers and has been profitable for four years. Other AI features include Mercury Insights, an MCP server and command-line tool, and payroll from its acquisition of Central.

The core plan is free: checking and savings, domestic transfers, unlimited bill pay, basic invoicing, QuickBooks and Xero sync, and Command. Plus costs $35 a month, or $29.90 billed annually, adding recurring and direct-debit invoicing, an invoicing API and reimbursements for up to 20 people; Pro costs $350, or $299 annually, adding a relationship manager and NetSuite support. Mercury Books, an accounting add-on, is free until the end of 2026. Accounts require a US-registered company, though founders can live in most countries — so ASEAN founders need a US entity first.
