Change Summary
Mercury updated its Terms of Service on May 29, 2026 to add a new section governing Mercury Invoicing when merchants use it to receive payments via ACH. The updated terms establish that when a payer submits an ACH payment on an invoice you issued, Mercury applies a risk-based hold period of 1, 2, or 4 business days before crediting the funds to your account, determined by Mercury at its sole discretion based on transaction and payer risk factors. The updated terms also require Mercury to display an estimated funds availability date in your Invoicing dashboard for each incoming payment.
