The Offer
- Mercury is a ‘banking stack for startups and small businesses’ and is offering a bonus of $500 when you deposit $5,000 within the first 90 days
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
Previously offered a $500 bonus but that required spending $10,000. I’d recommend reading that thread for more information on the referral process.
