With Square Card, your money is ready to work for you the moment you make a sale. You can make a sale and your earnings land straight into your Square Balance, which are instantly accessible through your Square Card.

What's the catch? Surprisingly, there isn't one. In a world where business banking often comes with a laundry list of fees, Square Card stands out by being genuinely free. No monthly fees sneaking onto your statement, no annual charges eating into your profits, and no minimum balance requirements keeping you on edge. It's refreshingly straightforward: your money, your card, zero fees*.

Security-conscious business owners, rest easy. Square Card comes wrapped in three layers of robust protection: two-step verification for peace of mind, a card lock feature for those just-in-case moments, and 3D-secure technology that keeps your hard-earned money exactly where it should be – safe in your account.

Getting started couldn't be simpler. In the time it takes to grab your morning coffee, you could be all set up with your Square Card. Every Square seller can access this game-changing tool right from their dashboard, and your digital card is ready to use immediately after you activate your card.

Whether you're picking up supplies from your local store or making purchases halfway around the world, your Square Card works seamlessly wherever Mastercard is accepted – with no sneaky foreign transaction fees. It's more than just a business card; it's your business's new best friend for managing expenses, at home and abroad.

As mentioned in the opening paragraph, Square Card works best with the Square hardware suite.

Reader pairs with your Android or Apple phone via bluetooth to help businesses of all sizes accept sales, within minutes of initial setup. It’s quick, affordable and powerful, supporting up to 1,500 transactions on one charge.

Next step up is Stand, which turns an iPad tablet into a fully fledged point of sale device in minutes. Its compact design includes built-in contactless and chip and PIN payments. It is also compatible with a range of accessories from cash drawers, printers and barcode scanners.

For a more compact solution, meet Square Terminal, a powerful point of sale with a small footprint, built-in receipt printer and card reader. It comes with a long-lasting battery that can power it for shifts of up to 12 hours.

Last but not least, Square Register is a powerful till system with integrated POS and payments. It has two touchscreen displays including a customer-facing screen, with dedicated 24/7 phone support and a sleek, modern design that will blend in any setup.
