Why aren't I able to use the Instant Transfer feature?

To get started, our Instant Transfer FAQs is a great resource for getting more details about this feature. I am also happy to highlight some reasons that Instant Transfer could be unavailable. Check them out below:

You haven’t linked a debit card, you haven’t confirmed your debit card, or you’re attempting to link an unsupported debit card: Link a supported debit card: visit your in-app Settings > Instant Transfer > Link a Different Card.
Your current balance is below the minimum amount (after fees): $25
Your current balance is greater than $10,000. You can send up to $10,000 per Instant Transfer.
You have at least one single transaction greater than $10,000. Square cannot send transactions greater than $10,000 via Instant Transfer or Scheduled Transfer.
Your debit card is no longer unsupported: Link a new debit card and try again. To link a new debit card: visit your in-app Settings > Instant Transfer > Link a Different Card.
There is a delay in account review: We regularly review every account and this can result in a delay to sending transfers instantly. If this happens, Instant Transfer will be available once we complete this review (typically one business day) and we will send your transfer to your linked bank account in one to two business days, per your normal transfer schedule.

Hope this brings more clarity to the issue!

Instant Deposit is Grayed Out/Unavailable

TiaraJante — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 20:58:01 GMT

My bank account and card is successfully linked. I'm not new to square. I have over $50.00 and under $2500.00 in my account I want to instantly transfer. I"ve made several instant transfers on the same card in the past but for some reason the option is grayed out and it says Instant Transfer is unavailable on my account. Customer Support has been of no help, simply pasting a generic response which doesn't apply to my issue. Can someone please explain why it is not working for me all of a sudden?

Hi @TiaraJante — It looks like another seller had the same question, and received an answer. Check out my reply above for more details.

I read that question and answer before posting my question.. it is the same answer that was pasted in my email by customer support. As indicated in my original post, none of those answers apply.

I am a user of Square for 2-3 years now. I have my bank account setup and verified. I do not have a debit card on file. For instant transfer, do I need my bank account AND a debit card verified before Instant Transfer works? When I go to Transfers on the dashboard, I have the Instant Transfer button in blue (activated). I don't have any funds at the moment to transfer. But, I will have funds to transfer on Wednesday evening. I need those funds to place the order before the EOM deadline at midnight on Wednesday.

So, I'm trying to find out if I need to verify my debit card today/tomorrow to be ready for the instant transfer on Wednesday evening ?

@MSW - In order to link a debit card, you do need to have a bank account linked to your Square account first. There is not a verification process for debit cards though. Once you enter the debit card numbers, it will tell you if it's a compatible card. Feel free to do that right away. 😀

Thanks. the bank account has been working great for years. I'll link the debit card. Just want to have it ready to go on Wednesday evening.

Another question.... I can use this on Wednesday evening. But, will I have to do instant transfer for all transfers from this point forward? Or, will the regular transfer schedule still work without me having to initiate a transfer?

@MSW - The default transfer method is always to your linked bank account. You'll have to request an Instant Transfer when you'd like to use it.

Why is my instant deposit pending?

I've never had any issue with square instant deposit before this moment. Why is my instant deposit pending?

Sorry to hear about the trouble.

Unfortunately we can’t address your account specific issues here in the community, as it’s a public forum.

If instant deposits are temporarily unavailable for any reason, your funds will be sent to your linked bank account according to your .normal deposit schedule.
