Availability in South Africa
Square doesn't yet let businesses based in South Africa 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 Johannesburg founders selling to customers abroad, you can use Square for that entity. To hold and move South African rand locally from Johannesburg in the meantime, a Globe multi-currency account (powered by WorldFirst) works today.
