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

Hello Community!  I have tried to use the INSTANT DEPOSIT feature numerous times and have NEVER got it to work at all.  Yes the Instant Deposit setting is ON in Settings and my deposits are always multiples more than the $25 deposit necessary....Yet when I try to use the INSTANT DEPOSIT feature from the ACTIVITY promt it invariably reads "Instant deposit unavailable...a minimum of $25 must be deposited etc...".  My last deposit was for $900!  To make it worst,  my last deposit won't be available in my checking account unitil Monday and I made the deposit Friday afternoon!  And NO it's not a holiday weekend!  Anyone else having these issues!?

This is the 3rd time square has held my funds due to "Instant Deposit Unavailable"

My customers and myself must wait on a Saturday holdiay weeked untill Tuesday to get our funds!

Why pay for a service that does not work?

My Customers funds are in limbo for square to use and we must wait 4 days to get OUR money?

PAYPAL. Works every time, like a charm.

Hey @SharkBait187 — thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that instant deposit isn't available for your account right now. If you're not able to send money using instant deposit today, it'll be sent using our next business day schedule. Please see Sean's post for additional insight.

[SharkBait187]

Next business day is considered TUESDAY. Today is SATURDAY!

Do hou people seriously think working class people have 4 days to wait for payment? We all can see that SQUARE does not work Saturdays but most of America does! Figure it out! Your product is trash and this should be considered theft!

I have never had an issue with instant deposit, now for the first time after i hit the button to do an instant deposit, it suddenly said it was unavailable, no reason whatsoever, any ideas?

[Spenser]

Sorry to hear about the trouble, @kjazz125

I'll follow up via email shortly.

[kjazz125]

I sent a follow up email, thank you for the answers, due to google, I no longer had access to the email for my square account, it took 8 hours on the computer and 3 on the phone to get that aspect resolved at 8pm last night which was the cause of all of this.

Has anyone else had a problem with the instant deposit feature.  I have been a long time customer - for 18 months or more and often make instant deposits.  Today, I went to make one because I had intended on donating the money to my favorite Christmas charity and I got a message that my instant deposit was unavailable because my account had been randomly selected for review.  I figured it must be a mistake so I instantly called customer support and the guy I spoke with wouldn't even let me speak to a supervisor, in fact he refused to even talk to one at first.  After holding he came back on the line and told me there was nothing they could do that I had to wait the 24 hours.  Since today is Friday, that means that instant deposit may not even be available to me until Monday.  I asked again - in fact - I asked very politely 10+ times to speak to a supervisor and each time he refused.  In the end I didn't even want to speak to them about this issue but about the customer service representative I was speaking to for his refusal to even help me.  Where is the christmas spirit?  I'm very unhappy at the moment and even more unhappy with how the customer service support call was handled.
