Preguntas frecuentes sobre la suspensión de las transferencias

We ask for information about your business because it’s important to us that Square is a safe place to do business. We keep Square secure for all sellers by knowing the details of how you run your business – like the kinds of goods and services you sell, how you bill your customers, and the way you manage your cash flow. And by helping us understand your business, we’re in a better position to provide you with resources to help you avoid payment disputes or fraudulent transactions.

The review process is set at one to two business days. The quicker you complete the form, the quicker your transfers may resume.
