You can use your physical Mercury debit card to withdraw cash at compatible ATMs. This article explains ATM withdrawal limits, possible fees, and why you can’t deposit cash into your Mercury account.
ATM fees and compatibility
- Some ATM operators may charge a separate convenience or operation fee that Mercury does not control
- If you withdraw cash in a currency other than USD, Mercury charges a currency conversion fee — learn more here
- Physical Mercury debit cards only work at ATMs that support chip entry, not magnetic stripe-only ATMs due to higher fraud risk
- Virtual debit cards and Mercury IO cards are not supported at ATMs
Cash withdrawal limits
You can withdraw up to $1,000 per card per business day, with a maximum of $3,000 total per day across all cardholders.
Example: If 6 of your 7 cardholders each withdraw $500 in one day, the 7th cardholder won’t be able to withdraw any more funds that day, even though they haven’t hit their individual limit. The account-wide $3,000 daily cap applies.
How to check or change your limit:
- Go to your Cards page
- Click on the card you want to update
- Select the More button and click Edit Limit
- Review or adjust the cash withdrawal limit (up to $1,000)
Cash deposits with Mercury
Mercury doesn’t support cash deposits. While our partner banks have physical branch locations, they aren’t able to accept cash deposits for Mercury accounts. To fund your account, use a check, ACH transfer, or wire instead.
Troubleshooting withdrawal errors
Transaction declined: Check your Transactions page for a failed transaction and review the decline reason listed. Common reasons include exceeding your individual $1,000 daily limit or the account-wide $3,000 daily cap across all cardholders.
ATM not on the Mastercard network: If no failed transaction appears, confirm the ATM displays the Mastercard logo. Mercury debit cards are only compatible with Mastercard-network ATMs.
Cash not dispensed but funds were deducted: Submit a dispute through the Mercury app or web dashboard and our team will investigate.
