Transcript

This episode is brought to you by Mercury, banking designed to work the way modern software does. I spend a probably unreasonable amount of time optimizing things, I've got credit card setups that squeeze points out of every category, I've rebuilt my travel booking process more times than I can count, and I test new tools constantly. But for years, my business banking was just fine. That's weird, right? Every dollar for the business runs through our bank. Payroll, operating costs, everything. And somehow I just accepted good enough. Mercury fixed that. I've used it for years, and it's the first banking product that actually feels like modern software, doing things I didn't know I wanted until I had them. Every new project I start now gets its own bank account. 30 seconds to open. Automations move money to where it's supposed to be. ACH and USD wires are free and take seconds. No phone calls, no forms, and no waiting on hold. The assumption was always that good banking meant trade-offs. Accept the friction to get the features. Mercury doesn't have that trade-off, and it's free to get started. No minimum balance. If you're running a business, you have to check it out. Visit mercury.com to learn more and apply online in minutes. That's mercury.com. Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., members FDIC.
