Transfer Options FAQ

To transfer your money faster than one to two business days, you can use instant transfers. Instant transfers are available to send your eligible balance on-demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Instant transfers have a minimum balance of $25 after Square’s fees and a maximum transfer size of $5,000.

Funds that are not eligible for instant transfers will be sent to the bank account linked to your Square account in one to two business days.

Note: Some new sellers start with a limit of one instant transfer per day of up to $500. As you run and grow your business with Square, a higher daily transfer amount may become available.

This is due to one of the following reasons:

• You haven’t linked a Visa or PLUS debit card to Square or your debit card hasn’t been completely verified.
• Your current balance is below the minimum amount (after fees) of $25 for instant transfers.
• You have at least one single transaction greater than $5,000. Square cannot send transactions greater than $5,000 via instant transfers.
• You’re new to Square and you’ve already sent one instant transfer of up to $500 today.
• Your transfer may have been impacted as a result of a regular account review. We periodically review accounts to ensure customer security. Instant transfers will become available when this review has been completed.

Instant transfers send your funds instantly, even on nights and weekends, regardless of your regular transfer schedule.

Note: Any money not sent instantly will be sent to your linked bank account in one to two business days.
