Overview
Mercury Network® allows you to add and manage payment methods, including checking accounts and credit cards, from the Payment Methods section. This lets you control how transaction fees are paid and which payment method is used by default.
The Payment methods section of the Account view displays the bank account or credit cards currently on file to pay transaction fees. It also allows you to add or update the payment methods on your account.
You can add one bank account and up to two credit cards. When you have multiple payment methods, one will be set as the primary, and the other(s) will be used as backup(s) to make sure your transaction fees are always covered.
If you weren't taken directly to the Mercury Network® Account section, click Account in the top toolbar.
