Availability in China

Square doesn't yet let businesses based in China sign up directly. It currently operates in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Spain. If you run — or plan to register — a company in one of those markets, which is common for Guangzhou founders selling to customers abroad, you can use Square for that entity. To hold and move Chinese yuan locally from Guangzhou in the meantime, a Globe multi-currency account (powered by WorldFirst) works today.
