However, until getting started with Mercury, I didn't have a great way for them to pay for things. I didn't want to give them unrestricted access to my money, but my old bank didn't give me any other options. With Mercury, I can create as many virtual cards as I want, each with its own daily, weekly, or monthly spending limit, and I can lock any card to a single category of purchase or even a single merchant. Now, I have a card that my agent can use to buy our family's groceries and only our groceries, And I can create another anytime I want to give an agent a random one off project that might require making a purchase. This is honestly just the start of Mercury's AI friendly offerings. Does your bank offer API keys, an MCP, or a CLI tool? If not, check out Mercury at mercury dot com. Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and column NA. Members, FDIC. Thank you to Mercury for supporting the Cognitive Revolution.
