Earlier quoted context omitted.

Really like Haskell after taking an upper level programming language class. Interesting choice as I haven't seen/heard of many using it as a backend.

Yes it's definitely a more obscure choice. But a cult classic! It's worked out really well for us; the promise of "if it compiles it works" (mostly) holds out

I know of one other company and it's a small healthcare startup in KC that uses Haskell on the backend and Elm on the front end. I guess they just loved the concepts that much.

I am co-founder, CEO of Mercury. Excited to see this on HN. Happy to answer any questions. We set out wanting to: a) deliver an amazing online banking experience for startups b) help entrepreneurs understand their revenues/costs better and succeed c) deliver great financial services. We have a long way to go but are excited to unveil what we have achieved so far. Mercury will provide your startup a FDIC-insured check…

Will you issue multiple debit cards for a particular account? The other banks I'm looking at don't (Azlo, Banknovo).

Yes, we already do that
