Can I transfer / deposit funds from my bank to my Square Card?

[LJGogetter]

This title of this thread has been updated from "How do I route deposits to Square Card?"

Hello, how do I route my deposits to my Square Card? I tried to change my debit card to my Square Card but I got a message saying that I did not need to do change my card.

If you’re using the IOS app then use the -White square- point of sales app to add funds with the “add money” button. The -Green square- appointments app won’t show the “add money” button. Hope this helps someone else find the answer faster, as I spent hours researching it but ultimately figured it out myself.

Wanted to provide an update to this thread since you can add funds to your Square balance now for your Square Card!

Here's the steps from our Support Center:

Adding Funds from the app:

1. Tap the three horizontal lines > Balance.
2. Select Add money.
3. Enter the amount to transfer.
4. In the Source field, you can review the last three digits of your linked bank account.
5. Once you’ve confirmed the transfer details, tap Add.

Adding funds from the Dashboard:

1. Sign in to the Balance section of your online Square Dashboard.
2. Click the Overview tab > Add money.
3. Enter the amount to transfer.
4. In the Source field, you can review the last three digits of your linked bank account or add a new one.
5. Once you’ve confirmed the transfer details, tap Add.

If you're still subscribed to this thread, and missed the introduction of this feature earlier this year, I'm here to let you know that this is possible! If you haven't already learned how to transfer funds from your bank to your Square Card using a linked debit card, head over to this article to learn more.

Are you trying to load your card via the Square App or the Online Dashboard, @Shar0913?

[Shar0913]

I have tried both. The option is not available

[Joe]

Got it, @Shar0913 - I would recommend reaching out to our Support Team directly. They can help you troubleshoot further!

From my online dashboard (on my PC) I click the three bars (hamburger) and click on the Balance icon. It opens the Overview, but there is no option showing for "Add Money" (no drop-down list). Nor is a button on the Overview page for Add Money. Where can I find "Add Money"???

[JustinC]

Have you tried tapping the amount field and enter a dollar amount? The add money button will only activate once an amount is entered to transfer. 

@JerryHollConsul

[JerryHollConsul]

Thanks for the reply @JustinC. The problem is, I can't get to the point where you put in the dollar ammount. The directions say go to the Balance page, then on the Overview > Add Money. I don't have an Overview tab, just a list on the left side that looks like this:

Overview Square Card Activity ^    All    Card Spend    Transfers Transfer Settings

The middle of the page show my Balance with a blue button under it that says, "Transfer to Bank"

Thanks Again,
Jerry

Super strange. Sorry your Dashboard isn't properly showing the Add Money button. That shouldn't be happening. Can you reach out to our CS Team so they can take a look? Please loop back here to let us know what happened.

Amount field where? In the Dashboard, I click on Banking, then Balance, then on the Location. There is a Transfer Out button (I'm trying to transfer in). That's it. No place to enter an amount. Similarly, in the app, I only see "Transfer to Bank."

I am new to the square community.  When I add funds, I get this message below.  Could someone help me to troubleshoot this?

"The transaction could not be completed. Please try again later."

How do I find the account and routing number of my square business account?

[JustinC]

Yikes, sounds like our CS Team will need to take a look. Have you tried reaching out yet?

Is there fees associated with transferring money to square from your linked bank account.  

[terri_ftp]

I do not see the Add Money option anywhere. I've checked both the app and online. Nothing. I've transferring money from my linked bank account and get an ADA invalid error when I put in the bank info for my Square checking. Can someone tell me how to do this in 2022?

How to load square MasterCard with deposits

[VanKalkerFarms]

once you activate your square card all your transactions will go onto your Square Card balance and stay there until you manually choose to deposit to your bank. 

you can see your balance and manually initiate a deposit to your bank account here. https://squareup.com/dashboard/deposits/square-card

you can see your transactions here.  https://squareup.com/dashboard/sales/transactions

you can see your deposits to your bank here.  https://squareup.com/dashboard/deposits/overview

[Itsalongfence]

Do you have ability to deposit cash payments directly to the square MasterCard? Or does it have to go through a bank account?

Hi @Itsalongfence - Welcome to the Seller Community!

Thank you for reaching out about this feature of our Square Card. Right now, the only way to add funds to your card would be to take transactions through Square. Those will automatically get added to the balance on the card. 

This would be a great feature request and we appreciate the feedback!

[2Gun]

Any help

[puka]

Hi @2Gun - I've merged your post with a thread on the same topic. Check out VanKalkerFarms' answer above for more info on your question.

[ryanspeth]

I have my Square Card, it's linked to my bank account. Why can't I transfer money from my bank to my card? With my PayPal card not only can I do this, it automatically draws from my Bank account of I don't have enough funds in my PayPal account. Mine is a small business, so only 1/3 of my transactions are from charges, the rest is from checks.

I'm not sure why this isn't a feature with Square, Paypal has it.

I continue to come across problems with this platform that tell the people designing it, do not use it. Very frustrating

Hey there, @ryanspeth - 

Thank you for reaching out about adding funds to your Square Card. 

I have moved your post to a thread where other sellers have made a similar Feature Request. This will add your voice to the request. Keep your eyes open for our Product Updates with upcoming launches. 

In the meantime, you will only be able to add funds to the Square Card through accepting card payments.
