Mercury rejected our LLC when we applied there yesterday so not sure where to go now (and no idea why we were rejected). Is there any reason not to go with Bluevine?

Hey, we looked into this. It looks like you registered in Rhode Island in 2016, but Rhode Island later revoked your business registration:

http://business.sos.ri.gov/CorpWeb/CorpSearch/CorpSearchRedi...

https://opencorporates.com/filings/1091852658

Does this sound correct to you / if so can you remedy it with Rhode Island? (edit: our onboarding team says you specifically want a Certificate of Good Standing from the state)

That said, this should have been communicated as a clear rejection reason—we'll work on that.

Yeah we are waiting on accountant to finish taxes (which are on extension) for 2021 so we can submit and get a statement of good standing with RI so we can renew our registration. Mail forwarding failed to forward our annual statement document for 2021 so we won't be in good standing with RI until that happens. I got in touch with accountant today to see if they can escelate but they are still a few weeks out.

update: I have been in touch with RI. Should be a month or so and we will get a certificate.

We accept LLCs at Every.io, which is a Mercury alternative: https://every.io/

Every.io sounds interesting. Except I have never heard of the company, there are misspellings on the webiste and the address is a mail drop in San Francisco. And nobody else ever heard of the company with zero links or information anywhere online. So they pay 4% APY but its a company nobody ever heard of.
