85% paid off all green and still no offer, does any know what's going on
Hi @Arminius !
Appreciate you taking the time to post.
New offers are not automatically extended when a certain percentage of an existing loan is repaid, but your business may become eligible for a new offer when your existing plan is closer to being repaid. We can’t guarantee a loan offer even if the key factors displayed on the eligibility page show all “Good.”
We will continue to review your account daily for loan eligibility. If you become eligible, you’ll be notified directly on your Square Dashboard and through email.
Hope that helps, please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions!
Hi @Deliman!
Appreciate you taking the time to post.
There are many factors that may affect your eligibility, and accounts are evaluated as a whole.
You may view your eligibility page by navigating to the Loans tab on your Square Dashboard. This page was built to help our sellers gain insight into the status of their Square Loans eligibility by taking your business’s real time data and comparing it to key factors that determine eligibility.
If you have any question please contact our Canadian Loans Support team directly at 888-800-5333.
We appreciate you reaching out and hope this helps!
Received my offer at 78% on Saturday. As bad as I wanted to wait; this has been a slow and brutal winter and I need to rebuild. Hopefully with the new inventory, this will be paid in no time. It was only a $1000 increase but I’ll gladly accept it.
Hi @ianssoph !
Thanks for posting on the Seller Community.
You can connect your primary business bank account with Plaid, and we’ll only use this data to improve future offers. Connecting a bank or multiple banks is optional and will not affect your current eligibility status. Our system will still continue to monitor accounts for eligibility as it has done so in the past.
Hope that helps, please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions!
Thank you for your help on this thread, @Twpchair! ❤️
It sounded like you were newer to loans. It's so hard to try and make a guess on it with the first few loans especially. Besides me telling you there are no guarantees of if or when the next offer might come. The difficult part is Square and the algorithm trying to figure out your processing pattern. With any new account, you have to start somewhere. The algorithm is a tremendous help for us to use but it's not a guarantee of an offer nor is it a bust if something needs work. Square takes into account your whole profile. Time with Square, previous loans are huge. All the good signs. Increase in sales, volume of swipes, and new customers. The algorithm is doing its job and crunching numbers and recording data. It does look at your account daily. If you can help it increase sales or boost the number of swipes maybe that might trigger it to take a 2nd look at your account. That's just a wild guess. Something has to! Good luck and Keep us posted ok.
Yes, I understood you. It transfers over the next day. Now, when you go to make your loan payment it takes 7-10 business days to process. Once it is cleared you are eligible to update and go back into the algorithm. If or when, with no guarantees, it's hard to say. The last time I paid off a loan in the upper 80s to low 90s, I was 14 days (federal holiday) fell in there to process the payment and clear through the system. Then it took 2 days to go back into the algorithm. Through this process, I was already paid off from sales. Before paying off your loan double-check to make sure you don't have any offers. If you do it will cancel it out during this process. Good luck with your journey!

While you are not currently eligible for an offer, your account is automatically reviewed daily to determine eligibility. New offers are not automatically extended when a certain percentage of an existing loan is repaid, offers are based on many factors, including, but not limited to, your current payment processing volume, your customer mix, and your Square account history.
Feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any additional questions!
I have seen the waiting list and I believe it is new. I mentioned in another thread (or this one?) that it doesn't surprise me. I can't speak to Square's rationale, but remember this IS an American Express card. I'd imagine that Amex's agreement with Square calls for a rigorous vetting process since that is how they handle their own company-issued cards. I've not seen much chatter about this on this board, though. Like you said, it is a new product. It has been tested and rolled out slowly and carefully and, honestly, that gives me some hope that it is ready for prime time. One last thing -- given the very rocky economic outlook, a waitlist seems like a wise plan on Square's and Amex's part. The last thing any of them (or any of us who depend on the financial stability of Square) want or need is a mountain of uncollectible card debt on Square's balance sheet next year. Better safe, than sorry.
I don't know what you mean by is that a good thing, @Paulynne.. Yes, it's a good thing that Square is continuing to expand their financial offerings to its sellers. But if you are asking if it's a good indication that you, personally, might qualify for a card, there is absolutely no way to guarantee that. Take it at face value -- there is a new card option being offered, there is a waitlist, you joined it and were told you'd hear back. Those are facts. Beyond that, looking into our crystal balls is not wise or productive.
Oh same for sure!!!! My love language is giving and gifting so I would be fired within my first 48 hours lol
80% paid only 500$ left no offers yet so we’ll see
I’ve been 100% paid off since last weekend and no offer in sight! It would be my 2nd ever loan when it does come thru. So I’m thinking since I paid off 1st they are running numbers etc for my 2nd. All green metrics etc
If you don’t mind me asking how long were you with them and how much was your first loan? How much are you generating, how long it take to pay it off, im in the same boat so just asking after closing today I’m 87% paid
I have a feeling things are slow with the way markets have dropped. There is so much uncertanity right now. Fingers crossed you get an offer soon!
You nailed it, it is part of the equation, and it does state that in the newer or updated version of the loan section. Is the overall health of the economy as well as your budget. Square like any other POS especially one that offers loans has shareholders who they have to answer to and justify loans. Don't get me wrong square is still giving out loans every day all day worldwide but things are different just like they posted about the % paid back. They want you to get the most out of your new loan so you have more to use for what is needed and not eat up 30% of the previous loan. The market needs to stay steady and it's not just the United States. You have 2 wars going on, the European market is all over the place. Everything needs to calm down and stay steady, no more interest rate increase but decreases. The rest is metrics and your business's overall health good are your sales now vs the previous year up, is your processing volume consistent, and new vs return customers growing? No disputes, no returns, or very low. Those come into factors that affect it or your offer. My last one first Friday in February. Sales are up 55% vs previous timeframe, new customers up, and daily sales (swipes) up. No returns, no disputes, and my offer finally took a big leap 3x higher than the previous one which was 1k higher in late Aug /September. Our sales kicked in huge in October and hasn't slowed down except for about 2 weeks during the winter blast in Michigan mid February. Then back at it again. So yes, you were right about the market and the economy, and they are sticking with it pretty steady. Good luck and hopefully soon. Ps thank you for posting that reply. Most people have read the loan criteria so many times they don't realize that a few things were added or went into more details.
Thank you!!! When it’s my time it will happen then not any sooner or later.
Absolutely and it's all yours! No rollover and I hoping for a bigger offer to boot. Just in time.
I think markets are slow and just economy not so good but that’s nothing new for last like 4 years or so. Here’s to hoping we get back to the pre-C days or at least close to that. We all just need to find a happy medium (government, Americans etc)
oh in a perfect world 😉
Been paid off since March 2 and nothing yet! Sorry to be bearer of not so good news! Upside is won’t have to roll over any with new loan
I just opened square in Jan 2025, made 10k first month, got offered 2600 loan in feb 4, now paid off, march 9th this loan thing is new to me so figure I ask how often loan offer comes
Congratulations on a great first of year start! Square Loans are still very new to me. I used square for about 4 years in past literally only to take payments and then June 2024 I started REALLY using square and all it offers. Most my payments from clients are cash but every so often they use card so it took me a good 5 months to get my first loan and less than 3 months to pay off with sales. I could have paid off way faster but wanted them to see that I do sales etc.
You’re very new yet and the algorithm is trying to gather information to offer a reasonable loan. Loan 2-3 are the longest wait it seems after that they see your processing volumes and history.
Yeah I was surprised I got a loan offer that fast
Your metrics must be rocking right now! That’s why I follow trends and try to tell people not everyone of course, as I do see a handful in the 70s and a handful that are completely paid off. But the majority are mid 80s-90s. I went from 90% to 69% then 84% ??? But my sales are up 55% and average daily sales up, new customers vs returning customers are up. A busy busy weekend could trigger it for an offer. Myself, I don’t accept 69% offers that’s just me. I hate to lose 31% of an offer that was 1 k higher. I waited an 90% it was 3x higher then previous offer and took it. But every one is different and their situation is different and that’s your choice and your business, not mine. Until or unless you are paying my bills and getting my inventory then when or why you take any offer is all your business. I am just happy to see now number 4 this week! People need to remember that this is just a small portion who post here. There are loans going out all day everyday! Yesterday was great news with the economy, the market, oil, interest rates etc all are coming down. That is huge for lenders to see and if it continues then they will loosen up and let the loans roll out more.congratulations again, and thanks for keeping everyone posted!
That was fast!
Yeah so far paid off no new loan offer yet, don’t really care for it but would like to make it a trend and get higher offer planning on opening another location next year some time
It has been a very dry couple of weeks on here. We need some movement bad!
Im at 86% with 600.00 to pay and no offer . With all of my other loans I got offers at 75% to 80 % but this year nothing.
It’s been well over a year now it’s been trending higher %?paid back. Not just you but on the whole for companies like square like offer loans. It’s not just your business and metrics but the over health of the economy, the stock market, and what is going on in the world. Companies like Square have shareholders to answer to and there’s a lot of factors to take into consideration. Square is still lending every day all day worldwide. As long as your metrics are good and sales are increasing, daily averages is increasing and no disputes, no returns or refunds (as little as possible) then you should be just fine. Just remember the old norm % is not what we are seeing for the majority of the ones reporting. Good luck and hopefully very soon!
