The Payment Platform is an open, global financial services platform for developers who serve sellers. It provides the necessary components to manage identity, process payments across multiple channels, hold and transfer funds, and provide accounting, reconciliation, and reporting in a secure and compliant way.

Within the Payment Platform, the Banking Services teams ensure Square sellers get paid reliably, flexibly, and transparently for the payments Square accepted on their behalf: the right amount in the right place at the right time. We also provide the accounting and reporting services to help them manage their cash flow and close their books. 

We do this using Square’s platform strategy. We build a platform for developers inside and outside of Square to provide money movement services to sellers. The platform services we build for settlement and reporting are leveraged by other money movement and reporting services at Square and beyond (including Cash App).
