Worth disclosing if you are an advisor or investor. From your Twitter feed it look like you might be?
I’m not affiliated with either, but from the looks of it Brex has no fees for wires unlike Mercury and offers a higher APY than Mercury as well. For a startup thinking of using Brex it seems like it’d make more sense to use Brex for banking needs vs something else for simplicity.
It actually makes me wonder why Mercury chose not to do YC? I honestly think an unrecognized risk here is that if you’re a startup in the business of selling a product to other startups it seems like you have more to gain (and a lot to lose) by not going though YC since you lose out on a lot of customers that’d use you just for being in YC. Now that there’s a YC company that is competing with you as a non-YC co you will lose every time to win that business.
