Command lets founders chat with their Mercury account and get work done using AI
Mercury, the technology company providing radically different banking* for over 300,000 customers, launched Mercury Command, a new way to complete financial work end-to-end with AI. With Command, customers can tell Mercury what to do in natural language, and the work gets done with their approval — check your cash position, change your auto-transfer rules, categorize transactions, send an invoice — all from a single conversation without navigating menus or switching between tools.

“The future of banking is an account that helps you run your business,” said Immad Akhund, co-founder and CEO of Mercury. “Founders are running their companies with remarkable tools and then logging into a bank account that acts like a passive vault. Command is what it looks like when your account finally becomes a partner.”
Mercury Command removes the friction of integrating disconnected tools, jumping between dashboards, and manually exporting data into spreadsheets or AI tools. Mercury already sits at the center of customers’ financial lives — cards, invoicing, bill pay, spend management, and more. Because all of that lives in one place, Command has the full context needed to help surface insights and take action in the Mercury account. Command is built directly into Mercury, so every answer is grounded in real account data.
Before any action, Command stages what it’s about to do and requires the customer’s explicit confirmation before it executes. Nothing moves, changes, or sends without human approval. Command is built on the customer’s existing Mercury permissions and controls, meaning it can only see and act on what each user is already authorized to access and see in their Mercury account. The same protections that secure the Mercury account apply to everything Command does.
With Mercury Command, customers can:
- Manage finances from one place: A single conversation in Mercury Command helps customers take actions on payments, cards, invoices, accounting, treasury**, and more without navigating across dashboards or switching workflows.
- Take action quickly: Send payments, freeze cards, categorize transactions, and create and send invoices the moment a decision is made.
- Audit every answer: Every response links directly to the underlying transaction, invoice, or account data so customers can verify information.
- Get real-time answers: Ask Command to check your cash position, find transactions, view card details and limits, pull up account details and statements with answers drawn directly from account data.
- Make changes: Update card limits, auto-transfer rules, user permissions, and more without jumping between pages.
- Act with confidence: Every action requires customers’ explicit confirmation before Command executes so customers always know exactly what’s happening with their money. Every action is bound by permissions, governed by approval policies, and protected by the same risk infrastructure that safeguards the Mercury account.
- Get human support: Escalate any conversation and get routed to a real person on Mercury’s 24/7 customer support team without leaving the chat.
Mercury Command is the latest in a series of AI products Mercury has shipped over the past year, each built on the same foundation: a financial system where all the data needed to run a business lives and software that uses that context to help customers run their businesses. Command is the clearest expression of what it looks like when all of that comes together in one place.
Mercury Command joins a suite of Mercury AI products including:
- Mercury Insights: Mercury’s first in-product AI tool, giving customers an interactive, real-time view of their company’s financial position without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.
- Mercury MCP and CLI: AI developer tools that provide secure access to a Mercury account and the ability to take actions directly in the terminal.
- AI-native payroll (coming soon): With the acquisition of Central, Mercury will bring payroll directly into the Mercury account later this year.
