Quick Win: Mercury IO Card đź’ł
Just got approved for the Mercury IO credit card, so sharing the datapoint in case it helps someone here. It’s basically a charge card (not a traditional revolving credit card) with 1.5% cashback, and the balance is automatically deducted from your Mercury account. My approval details: • $2,500 monthly limit • Instant approval • Took literally 2 clicks inside the Mercury dashboard From what I understand, if you already have a Mercury account, the main requirement is keeping around $15k+ balance in the account. But the reason I was interested in it isn’t really the cashback or the limit. The big value is that Mercury IO reports to all 3 business bureaus (D&B, Experian Business, and Equifax Business), which can help build your business credit profile. Since my current goal is simply to build visibility and reporting history for the business, this looked like a useful tradeline to add. Thought I’d share the datapoint in case others here are considering it.
