It can take up to four business days to verify your bank account (excluding weekends and holidays). You can check the status of the verification in your Square Dashboard.

Go to the Account & Settings section and click Bank Account. You'll also receive an email from Square when your account is verified.

See our support article for more details. Hope that helps!

@juleznfriends09 You can process payments right away! Even while waiting for bank verification to complete, we will simply hold your funds till your bank is linked. Check out George's response above for more information.

Thanks for the info. There isn't enough in my account, I think, as verification was denied.

If I use Square at a flea market on Saturday, it may have enough sales to make my bank account positive, but how would i shift from Square? Thanks!

In order for bank account verification to complete, you will need to have at least $1.00 in your bank account. At the start of the verification process, we will send a debit and credit of 49¢ to make sure that we can communicate with your back, if the debit hits your account before the credit your bank verification can fail because we will not be able to debit the 49 cents.

@William04 See George's response above. All bank changes can take up to about 5 business days. This applies to both the first time linking of a bank account as well as any changes to the bank account linked.

After reading a majority of the posts, is it feasible since I didn't put "LLC" on the end that my bank couldn't be verified? I work with a major bank, I had enough funds, but the bank account still wasn't verified. I don't want it to lapse another 5 days and not have someone to talk to in order to get this complete.

@ana - The routing and account number are really the key to this process. I'd suggest reaching out to your bank to insure you're using the best routing number for ACH deposits. Most large banks have multiple routing numbers to provide.

I added my bank account and received a message that it has been verified but I still keep getting a message to add my bak account. I do not yet see a .49 debit and credit.

Hello -- I think it'd be helpful to have an in-app reminder about the "Action Required" confirmation email that follows when a customer submits new bank account information. I missed it and sat on the email for a while... My mistake ultimately, but another heads up would've been nice.

@gailscaribb That would definitely be a useful reminder for Sellers! I'll send that request over to our Product Team and thanks for the feedback!

I have a interesting issue. In the process of closing one account and switching banks. I added the new account 2 days ago, which is pending verificatoin, however, accepted payments yesterday that were deposited into the old account today. Both locations are set to use the new, pending account, which I was to believed via the knowledge base that the deposits would be held until verification is completed and deposited into the new account. Hoping the deposit can be reversed and payment accepted today will hold until the new account I verified. Can this be confirmed?

Sean — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 20:20:09 GMT

@jasenhudson - When you're linking a new account, deposits will still be sent to the existing bank account. The only way to avoid this is to give us a call and have us manually un-link the old one. If a deposit has already been sent, you'll want to coordinate with your bank to help withdraw or transfer those funds. Hope this helps!

I called you guys almost everyday stating 1/25/2017 except weekend. Sent out email, no respond. I have a bank account requested link since 1/18/2017 & still not verified as 1/31/2017. I talked to one of your support yesterday and saying that it pass thru yesterday 1/29/2017. The date shows on my account it will verify 1/31 & it has been saying that starting 1/25, 1/26, 1/27, 1/28, 1/29, 1/30, 1/31. What's next 2/1/2107 & so on? Why I'm saying this? This is because I checked my account everyday. I contacted your support last week thru this site cause it says recommended rather than calling & no response from there. My bank shows deposit $0.01, & withdrawal $0.01 from square and nothing is pending cause I talked to my bank. Whats the hold up? its not 5 biz like it said.
