change instant deposit from square card to regular debit card

lwill74 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 13:01:24 GMT

After getting the Square card activated, my instant deposit goes to the Square card instead of my regular debit card, but I need it to go directly to my bank account. I have to do an additional transfer, which means another processing fee. I tried changing the debit card number, but it's still going to the Square card. Is there something else that I need to do? I'm paying almost $10 in fees for a $200 invoice, for example.

Hello @lwill74,

Sorry for the confusion. If you want your Square deposits to go directly to your bank account, you will need to deactivate your Square card.

Here is how you can do that:

Tap the three horizontal lines in your Dashboard to open your app menu. Select >Deposits > Square Card, tap Get help with card > I’d like to cancel my card > Deactivate Card, tap Switch Back to Regular Deposits if you’d like to return to Square’s standard next day deposit schedule.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

@sayra Thanks. If I decide later to have deposits go to my Square card, would I need to order a new card?

@lwill74 Yes. Once you deactivate your card, you will need to get a new one and activate that one to allow your deposits to go to your Square Card.
