What a business in Peru can use
Mercury’s products, for a company incorporated in Peru.
Invoices your customers pay by card or ACH debit, also available through the API.
Domestic ACH and wires, international wires, and API payments to saved recipients.
US dollar checking and savings with FDIC insurance through partner banks, plus Treasury for idle cash.
Debit cards and the IO corporate credit card with spend controls.
Mercury does not offer this.
Mercury Treasury invests idle cash in government money market funds and, since August 2026, an ultra-short bond fund. It is not FDIC insured, may lose value, and carries a 0.15–0.60% fee.
Requires a US-registered company. Founders outside the US often qualify through a Delaware company. Deposits sit with partner banks; Mercury has conditional approval for its own national bank charter.
