I got the boot. Email says this:
Hello Ken,
The safety of your Square account is very important to us. To ensure the safety and security of both you and your customers, we would like to confirm some additional information about your account.
Until we have confirmed this information, deposits to your bank account will be deferred. During this period, you will still be able to accept payments using Square.
We realize the difficulty this may cause and we want to resume deposits to your bank account as soon as possible.
With your cooperation, we hope to resolve this situation in 1-2 business days.
