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.
@Kacey_W wrote: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_W
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!
Fingers are crossed!!!!
The one and only loan I ever have it came late Saturday night. It’s still that there’s no rhyme or reason to any of this
I get it and after 13 years myself I got used to that 70-75% guarantee that one would be there. It's just not happening for the majority. When Square updated its criteria for loans and how to receive one. I knew this place was going to be on fire! Myself, now I like it and I changed how I feel about it when my offers were in the 90s and I was getting more money than before at 69 or 75% and just lost 25-30% of the new loan I needed. Now, I know expect a 90% ish range.
Hi! You've helped me before and my account is only at 58% anyways but wanted to know if you're ever seeing it at the 62%-70% at all? I'm only asking because I noticed you saying 70%-80% but is that just for this thread? I feel like people who get it between 62%-70% wouldn't even be on this thread haha! Dying to get my next one because I finally have a studio!! But waiting until I get my loan to fully furnish it. I got my last one December 23rd at 73% paid off, and I've only ever had one at 62%, just excited to furnish the studio and wondering!
Unfortunately, now it’s been trending 80-95% paid off to completely paid off. A few in the 70s-80s pop in but not many hun. The higher percentage is here to stay for the most part. Of course I will have to say the if or when is no guarantee of a future loan. I know in my time being here this is the highest % paid back I’ve seen. They are still going out every day all day but the 70s are very few right now. Good luck, don’t get discouraged it’s nothing personal just a new way Square is going forward with loans is all. Good luck to you!
I wanted to let you know I got my offer today at 68%!
Wow, thank you for the update, and congrats!
I received my 3rd loan last week at 49%
Wow CONGRATS 🥂
You 2 are very similar as far as loans go. Both are about the same loan 3 area and building up that history and letting the algorithm do its job. I will also add that both are extremely helpful to others, being so new and patient about the process. That's amazing. I watch you both answer questions and think to myself, look at you two go! I appreciate it as well.
GM. No I have more than 3 loans since I started with square in 2016. I really just started actively using square more consistently in the fall of 2024. Receiving my last loan on 2/13 & is now 85% complete
She was with Square for some time, also, but took a break and is back at it again. So not really starting from scratch, but with the changes in 5 years with Square and the advancements, tools, etc. It's like starting over. No, I kinda meant your activity on here and how the algorithm is picking up your patterns and building history. You are kicking in some business, right now. Congratulations again! Your last offer was even better, and you are blowing through this one as well! A couple of little rock stars here.
Got it, thank you. Working hard ☺️
Same here, 7 days a week! It started for me around October and hasn't slowed down except for a couple of weeks in February due to the weather. I believe that when I looked at my stats from year to year and month to month, up 67%. I'm not complaining, but between work and some personal issues, it has taken up a lot of my time to help out here. It is nice to see users like yourself and others who received their loans, but still stick around and help others. Your accomplishments help other users to see and hear your history. Although we are all different from each other, the algorithm does the job. Our Mods are great people who jump in as often as possible, and some just want answers specific to their accounts. They can't do that here, being a public forum, and everyone to see. For their safety, they truly do need to call. Most get that, and some don't, and get frustrated 😫, which I understand as well. It's tough when you're 96% paid off and nothing. It's just letting the algorithm pick you up. The stats, your processing, and volume keep those offers coming in. You are doing everything right. You're establishing the history, your numbers are blowing up, and you are going through me in record time. The algorithm is collecting all that data and should start to get better with each offer, as long as your processing stays pretty consistent with what it has been. That's a great thing. The next time I jump on here, you'll probably have badges too! 😆
Congrats! Those credit cards and increase in swipes were nice! Great job boosting those, and I very happy for you. You have been working so hard. Keep up the great job!
Without going into your private account or business. This is loan number 3, if I remember correctly. Are they getting a better feel of your processing habits? For most (not all), the longer you're with them and the algorithm can do its job and pick up your data much easier than loan 1-2. I had a feeling with your last offer, and a month in, you were around 75% paid off, it wasn't going to be long. Keep up the great job, and happy cutting! Hopefully, your husband is feeling a bit better and can have the much-needed surgery.
I missed this! Wow, congrats! A little late 😩, but I am sure you were shocked! What was the last one, right around 2 weeks, fully paid off? I hope all is going well with you.
Hey There! Have you gotten your offer yet? Im currently sitting at a little
over 69%
Have you gotten your new offer yet?
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!
I am currently at 99% paid off and I owe a whopping $2.85 and I’ve not received an offer at all
