Yes, you can.  It will just take a few extra days to get your deposit while waiting for bank account verification.

Can you tell me if two weeks it's way too long to get your bank verification?

Hi @Bluemist7 - great question!

 

Bank verification can take up to 4 days to complete. If you've exhausted that timeline, it's more than likely that bank verification failed and you may need to try again. 

 

When I was first getting started with Square, I found this resource super helpful when it came time to verify my bank account. Hope it helps you too!
