Sending checks

Mercury currently does not issue checkbooks or support third-party checks drawn on Mercury accounts, but you can still have a paper check mailed directly from your dashboard.

Here's how to send a check payment from your Mercury account:

1. Click Move Money in the upper right of your dashboard, then select Send
2. You can either proceed by selecting, creating, or inviting a recipient, or you can upload a bill upfront
3. When filling out the "Recipient" section, select Check as the payment method from the dropdown
4. Follow the prompts on the screen to finish setting up your payment
   1. If you need to send attachments along with your check, you can do so in the "Details" 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.
