Can I use my Square account and reader in Canada? I'm from the United States.

Is there anyway to use Square in a different country? I plan on moving to Canada in the future.

Do I have to sign up for a seperate account, or can I use my current United States account?

You will need to create a new Square account with the proper Canadian info and a Canadian bank. This is due to contracts Square has with the Credit Card companies, I'm sure Square itself would love to have one account work everywhere.

How do I set up a Canadian Square account?

Hey @ChinaB!

Thanks for reaching out! 

As a Canadian, you can create a Canadian Square account here.  You would have to be located in Canada, and activate your account while there. 

The requirements for Canada include a verification of the following:

• Full legal name
• Canadian home address linked to your name
• Canadian bank account
• SIN (optional, but will greatly expedite the activation process)

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
