# Mercury opens Mercury Personal banking to everyone

The Portland startup community has its fair share of “firsts.” Those early concepts — [from coining “Web 2.0” to the earliest versions of what would become SaaS](https://siliconflorist.com/2011/04/28/portland-startups-pioneered-web-20-movement-knowing/) — didn’t always translate into success, but they played a crucial role on the pathway to continued innovation. Fintech is no different. [Portland was home to one of the very first startups that would become commonly known as “neobanks.”](https://siliconflorist.com/2021/01/07/not-so-simple-taking-on-established-banking-was-no-small-feat/) And it continues to rethink [how people interact with money](https://iconsavingsplan.com/) on a regular basis. And so it should come as little surprise that one of the leading neobanks, [Mercury](https://mercury.com/), has a presence here. [And Portland-based product manager Alexey Likuev has some news](https://mercury.com/blog/mercury-personal-ga).

> Starting today, Mercury Personal is no longer gated behind a waitlist. So, whether you’re managing your finances on your own, sharing them with a partner, or investing idle cash, you now have a platform designed to make it all feel seamless. And, if you’re already a Mercury business customer and U.S. resident, switching between personal and business accounts happens with a single click.
