Square Balance
Square Balance is an account created automatically by the integration and is used as a clearing account for Square transfers. Daily total card payments are recorded to this account. When Square transfers the payout to your bank account, the integration will create a bank transfer from the Square Balance to the bank account mapped in your integration settings. Other payout transactions, such as Square fees and loan payments will also be recorded in this clearing account.
