Can Not for Profit Scout groups use the Square reader?

Can Not for Profit Scout groups use the Square reader? I had heard that not for profit groups could no longer access Sqaure?

Hi @Merrigal,

Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear your organisation is having trouble signing up with Square! At the moment the ABNs we are able to onboard for payments are:

Individual/Sole Trader (with or without an ABN)
Partnerships (with an ABN)
Companies (with an ABN)
Trusts (with an ABN)

We're looking into ways we may be able to onboard more ABN types in the future - many NFP, club and association based ABNs currently require additional regulatory checks and paperwork that our onboarding process is unfortunately not able to accommodate at the moment. If you've purchased hardware already, I recommend returning to the place of purchase for a refund. You can find some more context in this thread.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help here! We should hopefully have more to announce here in 2021.

Perhaps you can change your website to reflect this fact....

Nowhere does it mention that certain ABN aren't accomadated - in fact to quote the Square Reader Australia home page - "Designed for every business" ...

Any update on this issue as on March 2021?
