About Square

Square lets you accept tap-and-go cards, mobile wallets, and chip cards, whether you're on the move, at your counter or online via your Spiffy Store. Credit card processing is just the start. The free Square Point of Sale app also has tools to help you manage every area of your business, both online and physical.

Square currently supports businesses in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Japan. You can instantly accept payments from around the world.

Businesses that are based in Australia are able to link an Australian AUD bank account to their Square account. When linking an AUD bank account to your Square account, you'll need to provide your Bank State Branch (BSB) and account numbers to Square. Your BSB number tells Square which bank you use, and which branch of that bank your account is located in. Your account number specifies which account is to be used to deposit your funds.

Your AUD bank account must be based in Australia, and should support BECS transfers (most banks in Australia support this).
