The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Mercury is a ‘banking stack for startups’ and is offering a bonus of $500 when you spend $10,000+ via the Mercury debit card.

The Fine Print

• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not

Our Verdict

I suspect approvals will be difficult to come by as this is targeted towards startups. Deal itself is good if you have a lot of natural debit card spend.
