Very excited to announce that the Mercury app for Android now supports Material 3 Dynamic Theming. Now, whenever you change your wallpaper or modify your device colors, the Mercury app will adapt to complement the theme you've chosen. Over the past few months, we've overhauled our entire app to align with Material 3. In addition to ensuring we're staying up to date with the most recent Material guidelines, we want the Mercury experience to feel like an extension of you. We believe that the future of UI is highly personalized and tailor-made to meet your needs. Huge shoutout to our super talented team of engineers that made this project happen: Carmen Flores, Joshua Jamison, and the rest of the Android team. We care about our Android users, and we're excited to invest in an experience that isn't just a copy of other platforms. Hope you enjoy! As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Here’s an update for you: You can now greenlight known vendors — like your payroll provider — by adding them to your allow list and setting a transaction limit. We’ll still flag any attempted ACH debits above the limit you set or from unauthorized vendors for you to review.

Thank you to two gracious podcast hosts for having me on recently! For all my corporate finance people jumping into annual planning, CJ Gustafson and I jammed on this topic and traded some hot takes. If you don't follow him already, he has a tremendous amount of high quality resources and content he puts out regularly for finance leaders at Mostly Metrics. https://lnkd.in/gcPYybe8 Also had the pleasure of chatting with Zack Miller on how Mercury is evolving beyond the business banking account to offer finance tools like Bill Pay and Invoicing, and even Personal Banking. His podcast Tearsheet offers great food for thought on the intersection of financial services and technology. https://lnkd.in/gzxehtz8
