Can I add/use a family members debit card for instant deposits on my squareup account?

I had my Squareup account for a few months but have only just started to use it for transactions 2 days ago. I already have a bank account that is in my name linked and verified to the account . I have NOT linked a debit card for instant deposits yet. My question is, can I link a debit card that is under my business partner /girlfriend's name without issue or holds?

you can link whatever account you want to Square for transfers as long as you have access to it.  It may not be wise both from a tax ramification and access issue to deposit to accounts that are not in your full control even if it is your girlfriend's or another family member.  Personally, I would just wait the less than 24 hours for the next day transfer to your regular bank account to avoid issues and save the additional 1% fee.
