Mercury launches Books: AI-native double-entry accounting built into its bank account
LexSokolin · x · 2026-09-17
Mercury launched Mercury Books, double-entry accounting software built directly into its banking platform. AI pulls in activity from banking, cards, invoicing, and bill pay, categorizing and reconciling each transaction the moment it lands — no imports, exports, or manual entry, offering a real-time view instead of books that lag weeks behind month-end. The pitch: most accounting software predates AI that can interpret transactions, so it was built to record, not understand.
