The reply does not address Deleting a Bank Account . I can still find my old Bank Account listed. The new one is also listed. I want the old one out of here!

Happy to help clarify. To get going, you can link and edit your bank account directly from your Square Dashboard. Once you have your new bank account verficiation started, if you want to remove the previous one - just give us a call when you're free. After verifying some additional security details, we can can remove that account and assure that no other deposits are sent to it. Please keep in mind our phone lines are open Monday - Friday from 6AM - 6PM PT. 👍

Delay deposit into new bank account rather than current one

RCSL — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 20:55:32 GMT

We recently established a new banking account in our Square account that we would like to deposit new funds in but the account won't be available for deposits for about 5-7 business days. Is there a way to delay the deposits until the new bank account is ready in Square's system?

We do not want to deposit any other funds in the current bank account that we have on file.

Thank you!

Hi Sean and thanks for the direction to call you . I have called and left my call back no. twice; apparently we are playing telephone tag. Not a really big problem, yet, but there has to be a better way to get in touch than hope your "call back" will be at a time when I am available. I am opening a vending cart location in about ten days. Need to get this issue Squared away ASAP. Please.

@TamaleDan - If you've had a chance to request a callback, you'll definitely hear back. On Mondays things can get a little hectic for us (and callback timing has slipped a bit today). Appreciate your patience, and thanks for the follow up!

@Troypmall welcome to the Seller Community! When you link a new bank account we will send deposits to your current account, until the verification is complete.

Once the verification is complete we will send deposits to your new bank account!

If you have any other questions please let me know!

Hi Sean. Are you a real person or am I chatting with a vertual helper?
