Or, you know, literally any Canadian payment processor

Like... Square Canada?
Such as?
30 seconds on Google suggests Payfirma, Moneris, and TD Merchant Services, all headquartered in Canada.

I haven't deep-dived on any of them, so those specific ones may not be suitable. But Canadian banks exist, and Canadian payment processors exist. This can't be hard.

They probably also suck by comparison. But she should move to one of them now that she's aware of the problem.
Hard to suck worse than literally not processing any payments.
No interface sucks more than not getting paid...
But the article states the problem are the funds are going to a US bank.

If believed, she could just have the funds go to a Canadian bank and the problem is solved.

Doesn’t really have anything to do with Square.

The article specifically states the issue is on Square’s side with their (Square) using JP Morgan Chase.
Ahhh! I misread it. It’s Square Canada’s US bank account. Customer has a Canadian bank account.

Square screwed up!

The funds are already in the US bank, and it won't release them.
