Opening a Square account with a SSN

HI I have had a company in the US for over 10 year now, I am trying to open an account but as we have no US residents in our company we do not have a SSN. We have a bank account, tax returns ect and currently have a merchant facility in the US. How do we get around this so we can move our business to Square?

Hi @KateWhygo,

Thanks for reaching out.

The following information is required to activate a US based Square account:

Full legal name
Social Security number (SSN)
US-based bank account
Date of birth: Current credit card regulations require our customers to be 18 years of age or older to create a Square account.
US home mailing address

Unfortunately we have no way around these requirements. If you have a business based in Australia selling online to a US audience, you can do this via an Australia Square account, though be aware that it would be charging customers in AUD.
