Trouble linking debit card to Square instant transfer

Anyone having trouble linking to a Bank of America debit card? I've had Square several years and linked various debit cards but now that I am trying to link to a Bank of America debit card, it will not verify. It keeps saying that the card does not support square. I am wondering if this is because BOA tries to get all their biz customers to use Clover? To confirm, the account itself was able to recieve regular deposits from Square, just not instant with a debit card. The card number has been input multiple times in different ways, once with my name, once with business name. Ugh. SO very frustrated.

I made sales yesterday and they were not put in my account because square said my credit card was denied.  I can't find ANY WAY to contact a real person.  This really worries me.  Do you have any suggestions?  Gayle

Hey @Davismatt2244,

 

That's a great question! Before you are able to set up instant transfers, you will need to have a bank account linked to your Square Account. Sending money instantly to a separate debit card is currently a feature request if you already have a supported account and routing number linked.

 

Once you’ve linked a bank account from the app or your Dashboard, learn about sending instant transfers.

 

You can add a debit card if your bank account is not supported for instant transfers. View a list of supported bank accounts.

 

I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

Take a look at this help page, it talks about bank accounts that work and don't work.  Not all Bank of America Account types will work.

 

To contact support click the Contact link in the support page and follow the prompts.

Hi @eruiz82 - It looks like Chase isn't listed in that article linked above as one of the "strong link success" right now. You should try linking (if you haven't already), since we can’t confirm if a card is supported until an attempt to link it to Square has been made.

 

You can also call into Support to get further troubleshooting tips.

Hi there, Helen. I just got off the phone with both Bank of America and with Square's live chat. I'm still not able to connect my card and definitely need help. Bank of America is seeing my attempts and each of them are for $0.00 and not $1.00 which I was told is the amount they take out for verification. Please help.

Hey @chriscannon711 -  Justin here stepping in for Helen! 

 

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble setting up Instant Transfer - sounds like a pain.

 

Mind calling in about this? Seems like something our Support Team may need to look further into - as it might be easier to talk through your issue over the phone than live chat.  Here are the steps to look up your code are here: http://squ.re/howtocontact

I have one debit card (personal) currently linked but I just had a notice saying it was "declined"(?), ...It's asking me to link another card, not sure why . When I tried to link my other B of A small business debit card, it says not supported.

 

Is this because on one occasion I needed an Instant Transfer, many months ago? I remember my business debit card not being supported, so that one occasion, I linked my personal bank acct. debit card. 

I've tried twice now this morning and it says, "not supported" .  Both cards are current and not expired.

Square also says my deposit will not go through unless I link a debit card.

Hey @mm143. Unfortunately at this time, Bank of America business debit cards aren't supported with Instant Transfers. Sorry for the trouble this causes! We're working on supporting more business debit cards for Instant Transfer, but in the mean time, you'll want to use a different debit card to retrieve your funds.

@mm143 Sometimes we're not able to reach a debit card consistently. This can happen if there's a block by your bank or issues in their network. 

 

Since we can't see your account info here in the Community, you can always contact our CS team. They can look into specifics as to why your debit card was originally declined.
