The information given in their own article on card activation is incorrect!

How terrible.

I was able to activate my card by clicking on the link within the email I received telling me to activate my card. None of the other links mentioned previously showed up for me otherwise. Hope this helps.

Hey there @lisjordan1 

 

If you're having trouble activating your Square Debit Card, I recommend reaching out to our banking team so they can point you in the right direction.

 

They can be reached at 855-700-6000 between 6 am - 6 pm Pacific Time Monday-Friday. If you call outside of these hours, you will be required to enter your Customer Code to validate your account.
