March 2025- Is anyone getting new loan offers?

I’m getting pretty desperate at this point! 

 

We’re currently on our 11th loan and it’s 80% paid off at the moment. I’ve been looking at other posts here, and I’m so curious to know when or even if other businesses are getting new offers. We’re green in all of the parameters. 

 

I’m sure you all are feeling the same pinch we are right now. In the past, we’ve been able to kind of predict when there may be a new offer on its way. I guess I just need some hope at this point 😭

Hi @Inked_By_Dougie 

 

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us.

 

We understand that a Square loan offer is important to your business and not being eligible can be frustrating, Keep in mind 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.Your account is regularly evaluated for offer eligibility based on many different factors. . If your business becomes eligible to apply for a loan, we’ll notify you through your Square Dashboard

Hi @Brooke34 

 

Thanks for posting on the Seller Community.

 

We appreciate your loyalty when choosing to partner with Square for your past business loans. Please know that your loan history is reviewed in determining loan eligibility, but there are other factors of your account that are also considered. We can’t guarantee a loan offer even if the key factors displayed on the eligibility page show all “Good.”. We know your business is important and we don’t take that lightly. eligibility is based on a unique formula, but keep in mind that we evaluate accounts as a whole.

 

Hope that helps, please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions!

Congratulations! I'm up a percentage point from last week but nothing yet. What time did your offer come in?

I am happy to hear it's going up! Like I said dig deep, think outside of the box, and see if you can help bump that percentage to do a jump of 2-3 pts in a 2-3 day span. I don't think you told me what line of work you do besides your slow time. We can't guarantee you anything else. Believe me, if I knew that I wouldn't be here typing to you! I would be in Vegas 😆 besides sitting back and waiting for your turn to pick you off. There are things that you can do to help get those numbers up. Loads of us can jump on and we can help you with that! 4-5 different ideas are worth the shot. All of my offers have come after an update. I am usually around 1pm. Sometimes on the weekend, it's 1-3 pm. My last offer was in Feb. I updated at. 2pm deposit hit at 5 pm. I went to look at the numbers for the day around 6:30 pm and boom there it was. I accepted that one. 20 minutes later approved. Then the long wait. ACH’s don't move on the weekends and on Monday it hit around 2 pm that afternoon. Remember though, you have to process to update, if you don't swipe, or take any payments like an invoice something coming in through Square (cash doesn't count) It doesn't update when you have no activity or are not processing cards.

Yes, I remember you were holding tight. I asked if you taking or waiting. It didn't take too long. But if I remember correctly you were doing some amazing numbers and processing right through these offers. We talked about why. I am happy that they adjusted it up. That's always a crap shoot. But, you have the numbers to back it. Trust in the process. It's not always when we want it or need it. And like I said you are newer and as you grow the longer you're with Square and build that history (it is a key point) your offers will grow with you. Unless you went to your local bank and stacks of paper and the credit score that you dream of and got a 20k loan. No POS is going to start anyone off with huge numbers. I hear it daily but the Rep told me, that's their job! Honestly, a simple Google search of any POS loan process will state and state the same information word for word. You are starting from scratch no matter where you go or start with. I am glad that you stuck around.

I'm up 62% from last week and no loan offer STILL. I really needed it. But I guess if I don't get one I am exploring moving my website to shopify. If they give me  one I will move everything over there. Because at 86% paid. $500 of it is loan and the rest is just fee. My loan due in June. I just don't need the stress. I am obviously paying things back and processing a ton. I run my payroll, website, loyalty, and pos all through Square. Guess putting all my eggs in one basket was a bad call.

I understand honestly I do. Unfortunately, right now it's not just you. It's lending in general that is holding tight. This is why we are seeing your percentage paid back higher to completely paid off. I can't remember seeing this many paidoffs before. You have brought up your numbers, your increase is awesome btw great job there. And everything is good.  Good luck to you and I wish you the best!

Yea I’m sitting around 82% and won’t deny that a loan offer would be huge for prepping for the last quarter. It’s good to see loans going out and people getting funded around where I’m at. Fingers crossed.

Yes, Square lends out loans daily. However, not everyone shares their experiences here. There are no guaranteed offers or when but they are still lending it's just hard to see the amount daily especially since many users don't post it here. The percentage paid is running high, to completely paid off. Additionally, the moderators have a new pinned post that explains the details behind this. Hang in there; you're at 82%, so you're getting closer! 

 

Are your metrics good, including prior loan history? If everything looks good, it’s just a matter of waiting for the algorithm to select you. Good luck! If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Sales are great, I’m all green and never had any marks against me, and am well ahead of schedule on the payback of my prior. This would be my 8th with square. My Last was around 81%, but yea I know nothing is guaranteed, mostly just hopping in to track it for others to see where I land.

It's been trending higher paid-back to completely paid off honestly. Not all, of course, you will still see a handful of '70s pop in but not many. Most are around 85-95% range. Great job on the metrics! That is why I usually ask. Growth is great! They are looking for increased sales, swipes per day, and new customers, and your prior loan history and years with Square all are great and show a good healthy business, and of course no or little as possible chargebacks, returns, etc. Good luck and hopefully very soon!

Morning! I am sitting at 90% of my Square loan paid off, all green! I have my fingers crossed this means hopefully a new loan offer is on its way. Reaching out to see if anyone recently has received one around the 90% mark?? 
While I know they are never guaranteed, hoping to hear from some that this is when they received theirs??

This is my 3rd loan. And I’ve been with Square 2 years. All green everything haha.

thanks friends!

Yes, many at 90% have. They trending higher to paid-off completely. All the newer updates in 2025 loans are pinned up top. This would be loan number 4 or 3 which is fine either way. Year number two, thanks for the metrics added and the algorithm running at warp speed vs when I started they are coming out faster for newer users receiving loans. When I started it was completely paid off or close to it. You're at the stage where at 2 years you are establishing a relationship and a pattern of processing with Square. As I grew my business grew so did my offers. This was many years ago. The metrics are a great tool for us to monitor our business and processing. It plays a factor in helping to determine your offer along with other factors. @marbreaks it down perfectly. Besides all of the above-mentioned that is part of it. They take into account your whole account. History with Square, prior loans, etc, also if or when you receive one. All play a role in the algorithm picking off your account and if it requires a 2nd look at it to extend you an offer now or not. On the whole, it's trending higher % paid back to off. Not all of course as we are all unique you still see a handful in the 70s but not many. 90% is a great range and my only advice is to kick it right now and boost all those green from good to great. Good luck to you.

Your at 90? And no new offer? I'm about to hit 87% and still nothing 😞

I was at 100% paid off for 2 weeks or little longer before my next came through and was $500 less. That was my 2nd loan ever with square and unfortunately the month prior leading up to my offer 75% of my clients paid in cash so my #s appeared low. Now I wish I had waited honestly cause 75% of my sales have paid with card since then. Oh well hopefully my 3rd loan is higher.

Oh man 😟 I’m glad you finally got one. But wild it was weeks after yours was paid off (and less!) 

I am so appreciative of these loans, but man oh man, playing the waiting game is challenging.

It's hard for us to watch you all as well and hope you are the next one up or see trends and hopes you are so close don't give up now and boom 4-5 days later see someone pop up with FINALLY!!! I just try to remind people shake off the old norm and remember about what % you were and watch the board and scroll through it and you will start to get a feel of ok I am 72% I might need to kick it in or remember what % and they are not going to gear from it. You will see the random 70-range pop-up here and there but on the whole, it states a higher percentage paid back to fully paid off. We all just need to remember that when we start hitting 70-75% and wondering where my money is! 😂😂😂😂😂

I just received an offer at 82% but it is pretty low, I will decide in the morning whether or not to take it or wait for another offer later on potentially for more. I know it’s not guaranteed to be more. But I have some people here say waiting and paying off more got them a better option.

At least you understand that, unfortunately, it’s a bit of a gamble. If you're not experiencing significant pain and business is steady, I can relate. I don’t accept every offer either; I tend to wait until closer to winter if it's a good one. I completely understand where you're coming from. Good luck with the dice roll! Hopefully, it will turn out better.

How have you been doing lately? Have the cards stayed steady? Hopefully, they kept swiping, and you can get back on track. It is kinda a catch-22 when it comes to cards vs cash. You're doing so well there and enjoying it which is a plus. Business is business regardless unfortunately we can't control how they pay for your services. Growth is great and accomplishing so much you hate to downplay that. Who knows maybe one day they will be able to factor in cash and checks with a little more consideration than just linking your bank account. Just saw your old post and checking in with you.
