So uh where are you in this process?

When does it complete?

So what does this bring to Mercury?

Because we've seen a lot of neobanks build and grow without having a bank inside their own house, right?
voice-verified
They've used third party banks and so forth.

voice-verified
You're just burning less capital, et cetera.
