Loan Process 2025

Good Evening ALL & Happy New Year! I just have a quick question.

Our Co has been with Square for a few years now. We had our PPP Loan through Square, and we also have had multiple Loans Offered & Approved that were all paid off early. On our latest Loan Offer, it seems like the approval process is taking much longer than usual. We are at 5 business days 2day, and still at pending status? No other info has been requested. And our other Loans usually were approved in 1 or 2 days and then funded the next day. I’m just wondering if this is something new in 2025? And also, if any other of you folks may be having the same issue? Please let me know.

Thanks, 

Bob

Mine tend to be more Saturday offers than any other day of the week. Our busiest days are Wednesday-Sat and I tend to get a late night Saturday offers than any other day.

I actually have a question for you so I got my second loan offer two weeks ago and it was less than my first offer but the few weeks leading up to me getting my offer literally no card payments except for a few here and there most people were paying cash so I understand why the offer was low. My question is do you think it would be stupid of me to pay this loan off and then that way the algorithm could see because since I’ve got that loan, I’ve had nothing but card payments. It’s back to how it was before I got the loan. 


Hey @kacey_k 

 

So I personally would advise against doing that for a few different reasons.  First one being the most important one is the fees that you are going to eat for practically nothing in return.  It would be like throwing away all of that money literally.  Second reason I wouldn't go this route is that it can take  10 business days for the funds to clear, and the loan to be paid off.  You then get tossed back into the algorithm and an offer is not guaranteed at any point in time regardless of paying it off. 

 

If I were you, I would just do business as normal, and when it pays off, it pays off. But that is just y .02 though.  I would do/take what you can with that loan that was offered, recoup the fee;s that were spent and then hopefully your next offer when that is paid off if you decide to take it is the amount you are looking for if needed!

At that percentage, you need to increase daily sales, card purchases, and swipes significantly, and the volume of each transaction is up! An excellent history with no or very few past chargebacks, disputes, etc. All of these show a growing, healthy business. If you are processing about the same amount, the odds are less.

Praying for soon! My sales are verrryyy up! It usually takes me about a month to pay 10% of my loan but I was able to get it from 62% to 74% in two weeks, keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you!

Hi @olivesageeee 

 

We are very sorry for your loss, 

 

We know your business is important and we don’t take that lightly. We want you to be successful and we support your future growth.

 

Currently, offer eligibility is based on payment processing data, which means eligibility can change as frequently as your business does. Loan processing data includes your processing volume and your processing history, such as failed debits, chargeback history, and changes to your processing behavior, among other factors.

We understand that it is frustrating that we can’t guarantee that you’ll receive a new offer because you’ve had previous loans with us in the past.

 

Square accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that each business gets the right customized offer. We can’t predict if or when your business may be eligible for an additional Square loan, however, we will continue to monitor your account for eligibility. If your business becomes eligible to apply for a loan, we’ll notify you through your Square Dashboard.

 

Please contact us directly, our Square Loans line is open between 8am-5pm PT Monday-Friday if you want to give us a call.

Where are you now? The last few have been higher percentages but higher offers as well. Hopefully, that is a good sign going forward! You have a few people pulling for you! Let's get that offer and the new equipment that you need!

Ok, where a Mod answers reach out to us directly and I will post again or contact us directly highlighted section, and it will say call us it is going to give you a code and call that number. That code is associated with your account directly so they can see into your account. The other poster said after 2 days of calling and emails not being fixed an offer came through the dashboard only still. So let me find your post of 100% paid off and emails are not working properly ok.

Yes, there are a good handful in the upper 70s to low 60s. I received an offer last week at 67% right now loans are really moving and % is bouncing from 60/70- paid off. Sales, volume of swipes, and the number of swipes per day. Negative stay away from. Above all remember Square uses your years, history with them, and prior loans into account as well. Take my offer for example. The percent was low, my numbers though the last 2 years went from 2x the previous year to already 4x the amount.. No returns, no disputes, and never one issue with our relationship. My offer 4x higher than the previous offer. But at that % it he roll over is 30% and that eats into an offer fast. A healthy, strong, and growing business is huge. Good luck and let me know how you are doing.

So about 2 days later which would be 1-2 days after an update. That would be roughly mine as well. Just different days is all. Interesting thank you for sharing.
