New Case Study Alert: Mercury X Spade We’re excited to share our newest case study, highlighting how Mercury leveraged Spade’s real-time merchant intelligence to create a best-in-class corporate card program. ❗ The Challenge: Mercury needed rich, accurate transaction data to deliver key features for their card program. However, the poor quality of most transaction data made this type of innovation challenging. 🛠️ How We Solved It: Mercury partnered with Spade for real-time enriched transaction data. Spade matches each transaction to a verified merchant identity, adding key details like accurate categories, geolocations, and a consistent ID for each merchant across locations. This data enabled Mercury to enhance their card program for fast-growing businesses with precision and reliability. 📈 The Results: With Spade, Mercury’s team was able to build:: • Automated accounting tasks saving hours each month • Precise spend controls with advanced merchant and category locking • Seamless scalability from single users to large teams • A robust data foundation that supports Mercury’s product innovation ♠️Why Spade: • Industry-leading accuracy (>99%) ensuring clean, actionable data for Mercury’s teams • Unparalleled speed (50ms p99) supporting real-time decision-making with enriched data • Ongoing support and partnership enabling continued improvement and innovation   👉 Dive into the full case study to see how Spade supports Mercury in creating seamless, scalable financial products. https://lnkd.in/emYpDwRA
