Honest Take

Which one fits your situation?

If your treasury need is “earn yield on idle cash,” Mercury Treasury is elegant. If your treasury need is “earn yield, control fraud, automate AR/AP,” you need a full bank treasury suite.

Where RMO Treasury wins

Better when you need real treasury operations

  • Positive pay for fraud control. Mercury doesn’t offer check or ACH positive pay — a deal-breaker for SMBs that mail checks or accept ACH debits.
  • Lockbox for AR automation. Process check and remittance receivables at scale — Mercury has no lockbox.
  • Banker relationship. When something breaks in a treasury file at 3pm Friday, a banker beats a support ticket.
  • Bank-grade entitlements. Granular role-based access for accounting, ops, and exec teams.
Where Mercury Treasury may be better

Better when your only treasury need is yield

  • One-click MMF sweep. Mercury Treasury makes yield-on-idle-cash a single toggle — great for startups without a treasury function.
  • All inside the Mercury app. No separate platform to learn.
  • Polished UX. Mercury’s interface is among the cleanest in business banking.
  • API access. Treasury data flows out via API for in-house dashboards.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I have RMO Treasury and still use Mercury for checking?

Yes — many businesses route specific cash flows to specific banks. Talk to an RMO Treasury specialist about a hybrid setup if that fits.

Is the yield from RMO Treasury comparable to Mercury Treasury?

Yields depend on the underlying MMF and rate environment, not the platform delivering them. The decision should hinge on what else you need beyond yield.

Does RMO offer ACH origination at startup volume?

Yes — RMO Treasury supports ACH origination at SMB and mid-market volume. Volume tier and risk profile shape your origination limits.

How fast is RMO Treasury onboarding?

Treasury onboarding involves entitlement setup, account agreements, and (for some modules) testing. Most simple setups complete in 2-4 weeks; complex multi-module setups take longer.

What about international payments?

RMO Treasury supports FX wires and select currency accounts. For cross-border-payment-heavy operations, scope the use case with a specialist.
