How to choose a Mercury alternative
- For a business account, compare payout fees, API access and accounting integrations — those save more time than the interface.
- Lending apps must name the regulated lender; check the APR, processing fee and prepayment terms rather than the headline rate.
- Neobank layers sit on a partner bank; check which bank holds the funds and what happens if the layer shuts down.
