Hey @JoshBurton,

Thanks for getting in touch. At the moment Instant Transfer options are unfortunately only available for US Square accounts, due to the differences between how payment networks work in Australia vs the USA.

We are looking into ways we might be able to improve transfer times in Australia, but for now our transfers are sent automatically on a next business day basis. This means transfers will automatically hit your account in 1-2 business days from when the transaction takes place.

Hi,

Why do your emails to Australian businesses say instant transfers? You should change this as it's misleading?

If I change my transfer times I receive the below..

Hello,

You are now enrolled in a manual transfer schedule. Your transfers are no longer automatic, and the money you earn will accrue in your Square balance. You can transfer money to your linked bank account by manually initiating a Next Business Day Transfer or Instant Transfer.

Hey @Slick2021, thanks for the heads up. It sounds like some US-verbiage has made it into an email by mistake, I'll raise this with the team and see that we can have this corrected.
