The company, which offers banking services to startups, serves over 300,000 customers and reports an annualized revenue of $650 million. The recent boom in AI startups has driven increased demand for Mercury's services. Additionally, Mercury has received conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to apply for a federal bank charter.
