How does this work?

The MercMoney Chatbot is a way to connect with your MercMoney account and access information through new channels of communication in addition to your online account. If you're already an Mercantile Bank customer with a MercMoney account, it's as simple as logging into your account through the Chatbot.

How is my data protected?

All of your information is encrypted to the highest levels demanded by world leading organizations such as Amazon. Our servers meet the security requirements of the most demanding organizations in the world. Only you can connect your accounts through your secure MercMoney login.

How do you know it's me and not someone else?

To ensure it's you, we require that you log in to your online or mobile account before you can get started using MercMoney Chatbot. You can also set up a PIN for additional security.

Can someone else take over my account?

To prevent someone from taking over your account, it is important to use strong passwords, and ensure that those are not stored online, or where they could be accessed by other people. Avoid writing it down and leaving it where others might find it! If you're using a voice product to check on account details, you can set up a PIN for additional security. If you suspect your account has been compromised, please contact Mercantile Bank immediately.

Can someone else take money out of my accounts?

Absolutely not. The MercMoney Chatbot does not allow you or anyone else to transfer money into or out of accounts, or to make any kind of payments.

Do you have access to my contacts (through Facebook or Google/Gmail)?

MercMoney does not have access to contact information for any of your friends on Facebook or your Google contacts. MercMoney does not share any of your financial information or Chatbot activity on social networks.

Do any third parties store my conversations?

A third party such as Google or Amazon could anonymously store your conversations. However, they do not have access to your financial accounts or your login information.

Do you store my bank account number or other bank or financial account information?

When you connect your bank or other financial account, we encrypt and store that information so your account stays connected. However, the data is stored anonymously and securely, and we don't have access to it.

Do the messaging apps see my financial data?

In the same way that text banking works, the messaging app can see numbers that are given during the conversation. If you ask how much you spent on groceries last week, the messaging app will be able to see that number, but it will not have access to your financial accounts or any transaction details.
