I'm at 71% and usually see a offer by now (between 65%-70&).
Posted 06-01-2023
I'm where you are at (minus the actual loan offer part.) Sale are up about 60% over a year ago and processing is up about 65%. All the other things are in the green.
I think most people's frustrations are that it's just not transparent and there isn't a clear goal to strive for. It is also disheartening to just be told the same quotes over and over. It comes across as uncaring and impersonal. Which if that's the case is fine, that should be conveyed to clear up misconceptions and so people don't get their hopes up. It would also come across as more professional to state those things (economy and such) from Square itself. It would let people know where they stand and can make appropriate decisions.
Congrats
Nice. Good for you. May I ask, how much have you processed in card sales within the past year?
$280k in credit cards
Congratulations!!!!!
I am wondering too, when I will be offered another loan. I’ve had 15 loans all paid in full over the last 9 years! I have processed almost a $1,000,000.00 with Square and have never had even 1 chargeback or any problem whatsoever! I was counting on receiving another offer and was looking in to purchasing more Square equipment, register, etc. but I’m actually really upset that nothing has been offered. Seems a little cold and I’ve now been searching for a new merchant provider who can be a little more personal about my business and the business needs overall. I’ve really liked Square but now I’m too upset…
And regardless of credit, or anything else, the heaviest weight should be my history of PAID LOANS with Square! And the amount of time and processing I’ve put into this company!
It sure does! I replied to your post above. Good luck, and if you have a chance, look at the pinned post's “click here” part. It does help, especially when it comes to business owners like yourself. It is hard to explain to a lot of newer users on loans 1-3 that you are just starting with your history and building a relationship; it is a little off at the beginning. You and others have that loan history, and years with Square play a big part. With no guarantee, we got so used to say 2017-2019 of that almost guaranteed offer at 70-75% it was clockwork for me. Now, as a business owner, I understand that at 91% (my last offer) that extra 20% is meant to benefit us by rolling over so much of the previous loan and more for us to invest back into our business. That is a good bump in your offer even if your loan amount stayed the same! My offers are still increasing as my sales have. Once you receive your offer I just try to remind people to remember roughly what your % was and use that as a rough guide going forward. It is important to note that we don't know any more than the rest and no guarantee is just that. The Mods do a great job here and understanding that they can not answer questions about your account or mine on a public forum is or should be understandable nobody wants their business out here. Keep watching your dashboard and keep swiping!
Hello, yes, Square is still doing loans. The % paid back is trending higher. The Mods have a post pinned above. The click here explains why the change or other relevant information about loans right now. You are absolutely correct that your history with Square is extremely important and plays a big role with loans. It's not you, obviously, as it sounds like you have a great track record with Square. All the positives, growth, increase in the volume of swipes, adding new customers, and one of the big ones in previous history with Square and loans. You check all those and 0 issues on returns, chargebacks, etc. Unfortunately, with no guarantee of when an offer will be or will come, all we can do is follow the trends here. It has been roughly 85%-95% paid back. Not all, of course, you will see a handful of 70s and the same for those paid off completely. They are still going out daily worldwide and haven't slowed down really. We just see the ones looking here is all. Good luck and hopefully soon!
Hi @svhottie!
Thanks for posting on the Seller Community.
We appreciate your loyalty when choosing to partner with Square for your past business loans. We understand that it is frustrating that we can’t guarantee that you’ll receive a new offer. It’s important to everyone that lending through Square Banking is done responsibly. We know your business is important and we don’t take that lightly.
Square accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that each business gets the right customized offer. If you become eligible again, we’ll notify you directly through email and your Square Dashboard. You may check the eligibility page by going to the Loans tab on your Square Dashboard to gain more insight into the status of your Square Loans eligibility.
Feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any additional questions!
Wondering how it actually works. It says 6 months of processing and min $10k processed via Square. What I am more interested in knowing is the daily repay percentage.
Hi @Itsme2023. Loan offers are going out. However, those numbers you gave are the minimums that Square considers you eligible for a possible loan. There are many other factors that go into getting a loan offer.
As for the daily percentage, that is different for everyone. It is calculated by taking the total loan amount plus fees and then coming up with a repayment rate that will allow you to pay off the loan within 18 months. So the repayment rate depends entirely on your current card processing volume, including taxes and tips (if applicable). No one can tell you exactly what your repayment rate will be until you receive your offer. It is disclosed at that time.
It's difficult to know when I get an offer again. I am almost paying off at the 90% and progress is great but nothing yet. Hope I get another loan offer soon because, I needed to purchase new stove.

Hey @photoguy2019. In my history with Square Loans, and with helping other sellers here in the Community, I’ve never heard of a new offer coming in at only 38%. Even if someone had gotten one with less than 50% paid, I can almost certainly guarantee you it wasn’t recently. The lending market is tight. Nearly every Square seller I’ve seen here has noticed that new loan offers are coming much, much later than they used to. There is a decent number of sellers who aren’t getting offers until they have completely paid off their existing loans. I’m not trying to bum you out, but I would definitely not expect to see a new loan offer if you are currently at 38% paid off. That’s just reality right now.
Hey @photoguy2019!
It might also be worth emailing Square by checking through your dashboard here. They also have a Loans Team that you can call Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m. PT. The number is 855-897-1838.
Best of luck with this!
What percent have y’all be receiving offers?
I know square is offering later now, but I am at 90% and still nothing. All factors are green or “good”.
My last three were at 60%, 70%, and 73%. Currently sitting at 65% repaid and no offer yet. Will update when it comes.
I’m at 98% and nothing!!
Do you have a steady increase in sales compared to your last loan? How fast are you repaying? I’ve noticed that my offers come later if it takes longer to pay back than the previous loan. But who knows what the actual algorithm is! At least you know you’ll receive a loan offer soon.
I feel the frustration. They marked me today for processing frequency in the last week. I have a Hair Salon & we are closed on Sunday & Monday, and we were closed yesterday for the 4th. That’s why we haven’t had any transactions since Saturday. Doesn’t matter because I’m sure it will go green in the next few days, but frustrating none the less. I could really use the loan to stock up on products. I’m now at 91% so either way I’m kinda glad to have it almost paid off.
Same thing happened to me today and then this afternoon I was back green with everything, supper frustrating.
