Why Are My Square Funds Not Deposited to My Bank Account?

All Square merchants deal with standard deposit schedule. In the schedule, expect the funds to be deposited within 1-2 business days and 36 hours after the transaction.

So, if the funds are still not deposited in your bank account by then, you should contact Squareup customer support for assistance. The Squareup funds instant deposit may not be available at the moment if you haven't linked your bank account. Consequently, if the bank account is not verified, it may take longer for the funds to be deposited into the account until the verification is done.

To avoid this, start by linking your bank account and checking if it's verified. To know if the bank account is verified, check the verification status on the Squareup online dashboard.
