Verify your Square Payroll bank account
About your Square Payroll bank account
When you link your payroll bank account during sign-up or if you change your Square Payroll bank account, we will send two small micro transfers to your bank account to confirm that it belongs to you.
Before you begin
Be sure you have at least $1.00 in your bank account to ensure verification goes smoothly.
If you enter your bank account details after 8 PM PT, the micro transfers may appear in your bank account in 2 business days, rather than the following business day. If you enter your bank account details on Friday or over the weekend, the micro transfers should appear in your bank account on Monday.
If you experience issues with your bank verification, contact Square Support.
Verify your bank account during signup
Check your bank account on the next business day. The micro transfers will not appear in your bank account until the next business day.
Look for two small transfers (less than $1.00) on your bank statement.
Sign in to your Square Dashboardand select Staff & payroll > Payroll > Bank account.
Enter the two amounts in the Pending Bank Account section.
Select Submit.
If the transfers do not appear in your bank account after 2 business days, re-enter your bank account information following the steps above.
Edit your Square Payroll bank account
You can edit your existing Square Payroll bank account from your Square Dashboard.
Sign in to your Square Dashboard and select Staff & payroll > Payroll > Bank account.
Select Bank Account > Change bank account.
Enter the account details.
Select Verify account.
The verification process is the same and includes sending two small credits to your account to be verified by you.
Any runs sent before or during the verification process will use the current payroll bank account. The payroll bank account pending verification will not be used until the verification process has been completed. If you do not wish to use the current bank account, you will need to wait until the verification process is complete before processing any new pay runs.
