Step-by-step: download invoices from Mercury
- 1
Sign in to Mercury and pick the right workspace
Go to app.mercury.com and sign in. Many founders run more than one legal entity on Mercury (a parent LLC, a C-corp, a Stripe Atlas shell, a holding company), and each one is its own workspace with its own statements. Use the workspace switcher at the top-left to land in the correct entity before you touch anything else. Statements do not roam across workspaces, and pulling the wrong entity is the first thing most people get wrong.

Open Statements from the sidebar
In the left sidebar, click Settings, then Statements. Mercury generates a monthly statement PDF for each account you hold (every checking, every savings, every Mercury IO subaccount). Statements cover the calendar month and become available within the first few business days of the following month. You can also reach this view from Account by selecting an account and clicking Statements on that account's page.

Download the monthly PDF for each account
Mercury lists statements with the month, the account name, and a download button. Click Download next to the period you need. Each account produces its own PDF. A single entity with a primary checking, a reserves savings, and a Mercury IO Treasury subaccount generates three separate PDFs per month, not one consolidated document. Repeat for every account in the workspace.

Grab wire and ACH confirmations separately
Individual payment confirmations (outgoing wires, incoming international wires, large ACH transfers) do not live on the monthly statement as standalone documents. Open Transactions, find the specific transfer, and click into the detail panel to download the payment confirmation PDF. Some counterparties and tax authorities ask for the wire confirmation on its own, not just the line on the statement. Keep these in a separate folder alongside the monthly statement.

Pull tax forms from the Tax documents section
In the Settings area, open Tax documents. Mercury issues a 1099-INT annually for US accounts that earned interest above the reporting threshold, typically on savings balances and Mercury IO yield. Forms show up between late January and early February for the prior tax year. Download the PDF and file it with the rest of your year-end paperwork. Non-US entities will not see 1099s but may see other region-specific documents in the same section.
About Mercury billing
Mercury is a banking platform, not a SaaS vendor. That changes the paperwork you actually get from them.
You download statements, not invoices. Mercury checking and savings are free, so there is no monthly bill to itemize. What your accountant wants is the monthly PDF for each account, the 1099-INT at year-end, and wire confirmations for specific transfers when a counterparty asks for proof. Three different places, three different cadences.
Mercury does not issue a vendor-style invoice for your banking relationship because checking and savings carry no monthly fee. If your accountant asks for a "Mercury invoice," they mean the monthly account statement. For interest earned on savings or Mercury IO yield, the year-end 1099-INT under Tax documents is the document that matters for US tax filing. Wire and ACH confirmations are separate PDFs pulled from the individual transaction detail view.
About Mercury
Mercury is a financial technology company founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco. It offers business banking services (checking, savings, and the Mercury IO treasury and yield product) to startups, agencies, and small businesses, primarily in the US. Mercury itself is not a chartered bank. Deposits are held with FDIC-insured partner banks, currently Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., which appear in statement footers and legal disclosures. Mercury also issues a corporate debit card tied to its accounts and supports US domestic and international wires, ACH, and check payments, with accounting integrations for QuickBooks, Xero, and other stacks.

Why people stop doing this by hand
A solo founder with one checking account on Mercury and no IO balance can handle the dashboard. The ritual stays manageable. The pain arrives the moment the structure grows.
A typical venture-backed startup runs a primary operating entity plus a Stripe Atlas shell or a holding company, with two or three accounts per entity (operating checking, reserves savings, and Mercury IO for idle cash). That is six to nine statement PDFs every month, pulled from separate workspaces, before you count wire confirmations for each outbound transfer to a vendor or employee. A year of history across this structure is close to a hundred documents, plus the 1099-INT for any entity that earned interest. Finance teams reconciling at month-end also want the transaction CSV or OFX export alongside the PDF, which doubles the download count.
Wire confirmations are the other recurring friction point. Counterparties, landlords, foreign vendors, and tax authorities ask for the confirmation PDF on its own, not the monthly statement. Each request means opening Transactions, finding the specific wire, and downloading the single-payment PDF. Most finance leads we talk to keep a shared folder just for wires, separate from the monthly statement archive, because the two documents serve different audiences.
Mercury is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, open your Mercury dashboard, and the extension captures new statements and tax documents in the background. No OAuth setup, no forwarding address, no workspace-by-workspace click ritual. It works alongside the main Inbox Ledger sync, which picks up wire confirmations forwarded from your team inbox so both halves of the story land in one place.
Next step
One entity, one account, a bookkeeper who only needs year-end numbers: the Mercury dashboard is enough. Multiple entities, a Mercury IO balance earning yield, regular outbound wires, or a finance team that wants every statement and every 1099 filed without a monthly scavenger hunt: connect Mercury to Inbox Ledger once and let the documents come to you.
Where to look in the dashboard
- Settings → Statements is where monthly account statement PDFs live, one per account per month
- Settings → Tax documents is where 1099-INT and other year-end tax forms appear
- Transactions → pick a transfer → Details is where individual wire and ACH confirmations are downloaded
- Settings → Billing is where add-on receipts for paid Mercury features (Mercury Plus, IO fees where applicable) live
- Account switcher (top-left) separates multiple legal entities, each with its own full set of statements and tax documents
Before you start — quick checklist
- Monthly statement PDFs are downloaded for every checking, savings, and Mercury IO subaccount in the workspace
- Each legal entity (separate Mercury workspace) has its own statement set pulled, not just the one you log into most often
- Wire and large ACH confirmations are saved as their own PDFs where your accountant or counterparty has asked for them
- The 1099-INT is archived for the current tax year once Mercury posts it in late January or early February
- Mercury IO yield and interest earned on savings reconcile between the monthly statement and the 1099-INT at year-end
- Transaction CSV or OFX export is pulled for any period that needs line-level reconciliation beyond what the PDF summarizes
Pro tips
- Mercury is a banking platform, not a chartered bank. Deposits sit with partner banks (Choice Financial Group and Column N.A. are the current FDIC-insured partners), which is why the fine print on the statement lists them rather than Mercury itself. For accounting purposes the statement is still a Mercury document. For legal or audit questions about deposit custody, the partner bank is the entity on record.
- Mercury does not issue traditional vendor invoices because Mercury is a bank partner, not a SaaS vendor billing you a monthly fee. Free checking is free. If your accountant is asking for a "Mercury invoice" for banking activity, they actually want the monthly statement plus, for interest, the 1099-INT. Paid add-ons (Mercury Plus, IO fees on certain tiers) generate their own receipts in Settings under Billing, but most founders never see these.
- Mercury IO (the treasury and yield product) produces its own yield statements and appears on the monthly statement for the connected account. Interest earned rolls into the annual 1099-INT. If you move funds frequently between IO and checking, the transactions look repetitive on the statement but only the net interest earned matters for taxes.
- Multi-entity founders should set up a naming convention on downloaded files early. Mercury names exported PDFs with the account and period, but the legal entity is only visible once you open the file. Prepending the entity short name (for example "AcmeInc-Checking-2026-03.pdf") avoids mixing statements across entities at year-end, which is especially painful for holding companies and Stripe Atlas stacks.
- Wire confirmations carry the Fedwire reference number or the SWIFT MT103 reference depending on domestic versus international. Counterparties asking for "proof of wire" usually want the confirmation PDF from Transactions, not the monthly statement line. Download and send the confirmation rather than the full statement, since the statement exposes unrelated account activity you may not want to share.
- Export formats matter for your accounting stack. Mercury supports CSV, QBO (QuickBooks), and OFX exports from Transactions with date range filters. QBO imports cleanly into QuickBooks Online. OFX works with most other accounting tools. CSV is the universal fallback. Pulling the right format the first time saves an afternoon of column mapping in the spreadsheet.
