How and where can I change the bank account that is linked to my Square Register Account?
Great Question! You can Link and Edit your Bank Account at anytime from your Square Dashboard. To link a bank account, follow these steps:
Sign in to Account & Settings in your online Square Dashboard.
Once you change your banking information, you will receive a confirmation email confirming the changes. For security reasons, you will need to click on that email within 24 hours to kick start the verification process.
One thing to keep in mind, verifying a new bank account can take up to 5 business days, until the bank verification is fully complete any funds will be sent to your previously linked bank account.

How to change bank information
This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Money is stuck on my card. Can't get a bank account.
Took a payment. That worked. But now I cant do anything with the balance. Wont let me use the card on Venmo. Keeps declining.
Hi @Tonyoke, you will not be able to link a Venmo account to your Square account, as Square requires a transactional bank: an account that allows for both transfers and withdrawals. The reason for this is to support refunds or chargebacks - Venmo, like PayPal, is not a transactional bank account.
I moved your post here so you can learn more about linking a bank account from @Kelly's answer.
My bank account Information is correct. I can not change my bank account
your system states my banking information has been verified but the connection failed
Does it need to be done on computer?
Hey there, @Esf11 -
Welcome to the Community.
You have the ability to change your bank account on your Dashboard or your Point of Sale app.
Checkout this Support Article that has the step by step guide to do this through either option.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I've done all of this and dont receive the verification email (not in spam, etc.). I've resent the email 3-4 times over the past 48 hrs and still haven't received it. My email is correct (I receive all other square emails). Any thoughts?

Hey there, @OLIVIA3 I am sorry you are having some issues.
I just want to make sure I understand what is going on correctly. You are trying to change your bank account and our system won't let you? Are you getting any error messages?
No
No
Yes I did that but it didn’t work
Please provide me with an email or phone number so we can change bank accounts. We had to close one account due to the theft of some checks.
@Aldente69 Check out the info above on how to edit your bank account.
I followed the information on how to change the bank account and didn’t work. I did it multiple times so I just cannot longer do it. It’s too frustrating.
