Made my account yesterday, need to know if I can start selling tommorrow and if my card would work

[DavidJA]

Hello! My name is David Mayhew, and I am a member of the junior achievement company program for young achievers. We have a trade show tomorrow and we were allowed to use the square as a payment method. I have set up my account and Hooke do it up to my debit card, which is under my parents control. We were able to get past the verification, but now we have a 5 day wait. I would like to know:

1)Is my young savers debit card work for this purpose?

2)Can we use the square tommorrow if we don't get an approval email?

3) If we don't have An account, will the money stay in the square until we have a working account?

4) Do we need a business credit card, as RBC says?

thank you!

Sorry to comment just to raise this position, but I need an answer before tommorrow, and support won't respond to me

Hello @DavidJA, I'm sorry we didn't see this earlier. 

Your checking account should be fine as long as it is set up to receive deposits as well as withdrawals. While your bank account is verifying we will hold any payments you take. As soon as your bank account links we will send your deposit.

You will not need to use a business credit card. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions! I would be happy to help.
