Can I transfer / deposit funds from my bank to my Square Card?

[LJGogetter]

This title of this thread has been updated from "How do I route deposits to Square Card?"

Hello, how do I route my deposits to my Square Card? I tried to change my debit card to my Square Card but I got a message saying that I did not need to do change my card.

If you’re using the IOS app then use the -White square- point of sales app to add funds with the “add money” button. The -Green square- appointments app won’t show the “add money” button. Hope this helps someone else find the answer faster, as I spent hours researching it but ultimately figured it out myself.

O just wanted to find out how I can I a deposit with checks

Hi @TMG1 - Currently, there isn't a way to add funds to your Square Card. The balance on your account is funded from the payments you receive when accepting card payments through Point of Sale. Hope that clarifies things for you!

I want to add money to my square account. I’ve done it a few times before. When I try to it will not let put a dollar amount in. What it wrong?

What do I do if "add money" is not an option under "balance"?  I only have "transfer to bank".

HI there, @YellowDragonfly - are you using the mobile Point of Sale app to attempt to add funds, or are you using the Online Dashboard?

[YellowDragonfly]

Mobile point of sale app.  I do most everything on my phone, either app based or browser.  Otherwise I use an iPad.  (Running Android on my phone currently.)

[Joe]

Got it. Would you be able to show a screenshot of the options you are seeing here? Also, can you make sure your app is running its most up to date version of its software? Thank you, @YellowDragonfly

[YellowDragonfly]

I don’t see an option to add an attachment in the options here, just text editing, or add a hyperlink—using either the phone browser or the iPad.  And the app is updated to the latest version.  

[YellowDragonfly]

signing in helps!  I had switched devices, and hadn’t logged in.

[Joe]

Thanks for that, @YellowDragonfly - are you seeing the option once you click on Square Card at the bottom? 

[YellowDragonfly]

No. 

Lock card

Show card details

Add to Google Pay

Billing address

Change Pin

Get help with card

Under Get Help, I have options for lost, stolen, or never received the card.  Nothing for adding funds.

[YellowDragonfly]

Sounds like I need to have a few more card transactions before the "add money" feature poems up for me.  I've been taking a good number of cash payments, but only a couple of card payments.  It would really be nice to add the equivalent of the cash from my bank to my card, while I'm still building the business.  Once I get the card transactions, it will be less of an issue for me to want to add money from my bank.

When adding money from linked debit card to square balance, is it instant? Like funds are available right away? 

[AshleyK]

Hi! Welcome to the Seller Community!! Yes, it is nearly instant. Once adding funds is successful, funds will appear in your Square balance within 15 minutes. You’re able to add up to $2,000 a day. 🙂

When I sign in and go to Balance, the option to Add Money is not there.  Same issue with the Dashboard.

[JustinC]

Yikes, reach out to our CS Team so an advocate can pinpoint the issue you're experiencing.

I don't have the "Add Funds" button. I have a linked checking and linked debit card. What am I missing? I am even on the phone with square customer service and she says I cannot do this at all... I am so confused with all this cash that I need on my card! HELP ME PLEASE! I am so lost.
