Great Question! You can Link and Edit your Bank Account at anytime from your Square Dashboard. To link a bank account, follow these steps:
-
Sign in to Account & Settings in your online Square Dashboard.
- Add the requested bank account information. When adding a name for your bank, pick any name that will help you identify the account. It doesn’t have to be the same name on the bank account. It’s good to note that your account and routing numbers are usually listed at the bottom of your checks. Some credit unions use electronic account numbers for deposits from Square (ACH transactions), which can be different than the account number on your checks. You’ll want to confirm with your credit union that you’re using the correct account number.
- Click Verify Account.
Once you change your banking information, you will receive a confirmation email confirming the changes. For security reasons, you will need to click on that email within 24 hours to kick start the verification process.
One thing to keep in mind, verifying a new bank account can take up to 5 business days, until the bank verification is fully complete any funds will be sent to your previously linked bank account.
To see more about linking or editing your banking information please see this video:

Hi @Tonyoke, you will not be able to link a Venmo account to your Square account, as Square requires a transactional bank: an account that allows for both transfers and withdrawals. The reason for this is to support refunds or chargebacks - Venmo, like PayPal, is not a transactional bank account.
I moved your post here so you can learn more about linking a bank account from @Kelly's answer.

Hey there, @Esf11 -
Welcome to the Community.
You have the ability to change your bank account on your Dashboard or your Point of Sale app.
Checkout this Support Article that has the step by step guide to do this through either option.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I've done all of this and dont receive the verification email (not in spam, etc.). I've resent the email 3-4 times over the past 48 hrs and still haven't received it. My email is correct (I receive all other square emails). Any thoughts?
