In Rome, senators were barred from shipping grain for profit. In India, Buddhist parables warned of merchants who abused their customers’ trust. In 17th-century Amsterdam, the earliest shareholders demanded transparency from the world’s first joint-stock company. In every era, one principle has reasserted itself: where there is financial power, there must also be ethical infrastructure. Where there is innovation, there must also be restraint.
At Mercury, we believe compliance is the infrastructure of trust—a way to engineer safety, transparency, and integrity directly into the architecture of financial innovation. This isn’t about bureaucracy or backstops. It’s about building control systems that scale with ambition, that evolve with product velocity, and that speak fluently in the language of risk and regulation.
