What it does
Capabilities that matter on day one
Instant payouts as transactions clear
Sales settle to your Square Checking account in seconds, not days. No waiting 1–2 business days for the bank ACH to land.
Free business Checking
No monthly fees, no minimum balances, no overdraft fees, FDIC-insured up to standard limits through Square's partner bank.
Square Debit Card
Tied to your Square Checking; spend straight from sales without an intermediate transfer. Apple Pay / Google Pay supported.
Savings folders with goals
Auto-allocate a % of each sale to Savings ("15% to taxes, 5% to a new freezer"). Folders earn interest above standard checking rates.
Bills + ACH transfers
Pay vendors and bills via ACH from Square Checking. Schedule recurring payments. Bank-to-bank transfers between Square Checking and your existing bank are free.
Built into Square — no extra app
Banking lives in your Square dashboard alongside sales, inventory, and payroll. Reconciliation is one screen, not three apps.
