Get Started with Cash Deposits with Square Checking
In addition to mobile check deposits and instant transfers, you can make cash deposits into your Square Checking account. When you make a cash deposit at a participating retail location, the cash is instantly available in your Square Checking balance so you can spend your funds with your Square Debit Card, use Square Bill Pay, and more.
You can submit cash deposits without fees at participating retailers, such as Walmart, Dollar General, Walgreens, participating 7-Eleven® locations and more. You can find additional cash deposit retailers by their closest distance to you in the Square Point of Sale app. You only need a barcode generated from the Square Point of Sale app to complete a deposit.
Make a Cash Deposit
In order to complete a cash deposit, you need to download the Square Point of Sale app on an Android or iOS device, as you can’t submit cash deposits through your online Square Dashboard. To submit a cash deposit into your Square Checking account:
From the Square Point of Sale app, tap More > Balance.
Select Checking > Add money and choose Cash deposit.
Tap Get started and select a cash deposit location to generate your deposit barcode. Cash deposit locations are listed by the locations nearest to you, so make sure you have location services enabled for your Square app.
When you’re at a cash deposit location, tap View barcode in your app to show your barcode to a cashier to complete your deposit. Cash deposit barcodes cannot be reused and expire after 15 minutes. If the barcode expires, you can generate a new barcode by following these same steps.
Once your deposit is complete, your Square Checking account instantly updates with your new balance and your funds are immediately available to spend through your Square Debit Card.
Once you complete your deposit, you can view your cash deposit history from your Square Checking reporting. Learn more about how to view your Square Checking activity.
Cash Deposit Limitations
Limits on the amount of cash deposits you can make depend on individual retailers. To view cash deposit limits for each retailer:
From the Square Point of Sale app, tap More > Balance.
Select Checking > Add money and choose Cash deposit.
Tap Get started and select a cash deposit location. Cash deposit locations are listed by the locations nearest to you, so make sure you have location services enabled for your app.
Tap your preferred retailer from the list to view retailer-specific cash deposit limits and generate a barcode.
