Accepting payments in the UK

RL_Bolton — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 16:14:13 GMT

I anticipate conducting business in England during the latter part of 2022. I have established a Pounds Sterling bank account with Wise (formerly Transfer Wise) Banking which is located in London. I have a sort code, an account number, and an IBAN. Can I accept pounds sterling payments inside the UK? If not, why not? If so, how can I set up a Square account that will let me do so?

Hi @RL_Bolton, thanks for your post (and welcome to the Seller Community)!

To take payments in the UK, you'll need to create a UK Square account. You can find all information required to sign up for Square in the UK in our Support Centre. If you run into any issue, you can refer to our activation guide here.
