Why This Happens

Square requires bank account verification before processing payouts. Issues arise when micro-deposits aren't confirmed, bank account details don't match your Square identity, the bank rejects ACH transfers, or the account type is incompatible. Name mismatches between your Square account and bank account are the most common cause.
