Mercury benefited massively from the SVB collapse in 2023, becoming the default startup bank. Now expanding into venture debt, FX, personal banking, and an AI-native ledger built around how a business actually operates. Profitable for four consecutive years and announced a $200M Series D at a $5.2B valuation in May 2026 — up from $3.5B at the March 2025 Series C — pitched as a platform play for the next-five-years cohort of AI-accelerated startup formation.
