Bank account verification

MatildasMum — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:06:33 GMT

Hi everyone,

I’ve tried to link my bank account 3 times and it won’t work.

On the latest time I can see that a 1cent debit was made from Square, and then it was transferred back to my account; but I got an email a few days later saying “Unable to verify my bank account”

Why might this be happening?
