Sending checks

We're not currently able to issue checkbooks and third-party checks can’t be drawn on Mercury accounts. But you can still have a paper check mailed directly from your dashboard.

Here's how:

1. Click Move Money in the upper right of your dashboard, then select Send.
2. Select, invite or create a recipient.
3. When filling out the Payment Details section, select Check as the Method of payment from the dropdown.
4. Follow the prompts on screen to finish setting up your payment.
   1. If you need to send attachments along with your check, you can do so in the "Additional info" step.
      
      

Checks are sent via USPS and can take 7-10 business days to arrive (one business day to print, and the rest for delivery). They will remain in a pending state until deposited by the recipient. If the check hasn't been cashed within 90 days, it'll auto-cancel and you'll need to issue a new one.
