Transfering funds

I need help. I have called Square, emailed Square, and used their online chat & the answer is the same "You are under review & We are escalating your issue" & then NOTHING happens! I have been trying to get Square to use my verified bank to transfer my money since Dec 21st..it is now Nov 23rd. I call almost every day & get nowhere. I can't even get thru to a supervisor. Square is holding about $700 of my earned money. I do not know what to do. I don't know why they are doing this? I want to so badly return my system, but then I will have no way to take card payments. Can someone help me to find out how to get this issue fixed?

Hey @Safestart, I do see our team emailed you a few hours ago explaining what is going on with your account. Please refer to that email for more insight and how this can be resolved. I understand this is frustrating, but there is no further action we can take here in the seller community for this. Thank you for understanding.

That is a lie. If they cared about transferring funds you would be able to speak to a manager who could help. Al customer service does is pretend to escalate and then you wait for an email that gives you no information

They are holding $17,500 from my business right now. It's crippling us.

Square is also holding $7997 of our funds since 4/22/24 and hasn't responded. I contacted chat and was told they were escalating my case and I would be emailed. Still no emails, still under review, how do we actually speak to a live person? This is getting crazy it's also putting us in a bad position waiting for our funds

Somehow I have managed to lose access to my funds, even though they show in one of our two locations. I cannot move the money to my Square Checking account, or to the second location which has the debit card linked. 4 days of hours on the phone with Chat have yielded no forward movement. It's a very small business, and we just can't go long without those funds.

Can anyone help?
