Is square considered a wire transfer?

Is a Square transaction considered a wire transfer?  I am asked for a routing number to set up my Square account and I need to be sure to give the correct routing number because there are different routing numbers for wire transfers.  Thx!

Hi @chrisschafer_ar - welcome to the community and thanks for making your first post. 

Square can process credit card transactions for you. We require a bank account in order to deposit your funds as well as debit funds should you issue a refund or receive a chargeback. We don't use wire transfers to deposit funds to your account. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions about linking your bank account or getting started with Square Point of Sale.

Can I accept wire transfers using your system?

Hi @railone - Unfortunately, you are unable to accept wire transfers via Square as we only process card payments as well as Square-issued gift cards. Other tender entered through Square is for tracking purposes only.
