Mercury is a cutting-edge neobank designed specifically for startups and tech companies, offering a suite of banking services that streamline financial operations. With an impressive annualized revenue of $500 million in 2024—up 97% from the previous year—Mercury has quickly become a go-to banking solution for businesses seeking modern, efficient financial management. The company generates revenue through interest income from approximately $20 billion in customer deposits, interchange fees from corporate card transactions, and subscription software priced between $35 and $350 monthly for finance workflow automation.
What sets Mercury apart is its user-friendly interface and zero-fee banking products, which eliminate the cumbersome processes often associated with traditional banks. Startups can open accounts quickly and access a range of services, including FDIC-insured checking and savings accounts, venture debt, and a robust dashboard for managing finances. The recent surge in deposits following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank underscores the demand for Mercury's innovative approach to banking.
In addition to its banking services, Mercury is expanding into subscription-based financial software, positioning itself against competitors like Brex and Ramp. This strategic move not only diversifies its revenue streams but also enhances its value proposition to customers. As Mercury continues to grow, it aims to broaden its offerings into adjacent markets, ensuring it remains a vital partner for startups navigating the evolving financial landscape.
When investment opportunities become available for Mercury, they would typically be structured through US-based, bankruptcy-remote Delaware SPVs. As an investor, you would become a limited partner in a fund that indirectly holds shares of the company. This page is for expressing interest in future opportunities, not for making actual investments.
Direct investment into high-demand private companies like Mercury often requires $50M+ in capital. Our SPV structure gives you access at lower minimums by pooling capital and investing through intermediaries that already hold equity.
The minimum investment typically starts from $10,000, though it may vary depending on the deal size and available allocations.
Once the SPV is fully funded and the shares are secured, units will be allocated to your account and you'll be notified. This typically takes 2–3 weeks post close date.
Liquidity is not guaranteed. However, exits may occur through the following avenues:
(a) resale through our partner's Alternative Trading System (ATS) after a holding period,
(b) secondary market transactions,
(c) a future IPO of Mercury or its subsidiaries, or
(d) an acquisition of the company.
Key risks include equity risk (share value decline) and liquidity risk (limited tradability of private shares). As with any private market investment, capital loss is possible.
Taxation is treated the same as investing in US-listed stocks. Long-term capital gains (after 24 months) are taxed at 12.5%. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income tax slab.
All investments are made through SEC-compliant SPVs under Regulation S. The structure is similar to those used by leading US platforms like EquityZen and Forge.
