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