- Introduced a $0/month "Mercury for Business" tier to differentiate from personal plans.
- Added AI-powered features for bill pay and receipt reconciliation.
- Updated social proof to highlight 200,000+ customers and $650M in annual revenue.
- Increased FDIC insurance messaging, highlighting up to $5M in coverage through sweep networks.
