New Square Loan in 2024

I’m at a bit of a loss for what else I need to do to be offered a new Square Loan at this point. I’ve been with Square for over 10 years, had 7 loans now that I’ve have paid back early every single time. Metrics are all in green, record sales year. In 2023, record numbers across the board, no refunds, no complaints or issues of any kind in our entire history. Current loan is 80% paid off, but no new offer in site. This is the kind of stuff that causes businesses to find someone else to process through! Please help! I’m sure I’ll get the same old excuses that you guys send to everyone about looking at every aspect of the business. But there isn’t a single aspect that isn’t way up. I’m not sure if there is a new process they are using now, or if there is some kind of issue with my banking or something else I’m not thinking about or aware of. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, because I could really use some new capital to start the year off with and reinvest into my business!

I called and asked about the bank. They said it does not affect your eligibility, it helps them improve the amount of the offer. I have had 15 loans with Square and did try connecting this time to see if it would help, but it didn’t. I disconnected it, but although they said disconnecting was fine, I think it could be holding me back. I’m 93% paid off and haven’t gotten an offer. Most people on this forum have gotten loans without connecting.

I thought 91% was going to be our lucky number???? I've been watching every day for you! Good luck today!

Unfortunately, I don't work for Square because I would be up here you get a loan, you get a loan, and everybody 80% and all green you get a loan! I can usually follow the trends and you've seen all summer until recently it's been a higher % to paid off. There's always a few here and there that pop in around the 70s. About October it has been bouncing around from the low 70s to the high 90s?? Not very consistent at all. Good luck and you are correct all we can do is keep swiping away.

Any news yet? It's been crazy at work and part of our busiest season. May to January is our time. What line of business are you in?

When the acct updates daily, and it says *not eligible* has anyone ever got an offer hours later? Same day they say not eligible?

Every offer of mine usually comes around 7-10 pm. I update around 1-3 pm. I have not seen and offered an update yet. A few thought that but the offer was the night before and they just saw it when they checked their updated metrics

Just offered a loan today. It's less than 50% of the previous offer. I think this is my 9th or 10th loan, and it hasn't been this low since covid.

Ugh, I am sorry 💔 unfortunately, that's been part of the trend lately or since last summer! 1. Either half 2. The same amount of previous loan and the least amount of people posting slightly higher. I know it stinks but it is hard not to take it personally it isn't just you or your business its just everything going on in the whole world right now and lenders are watching and holding tight. Hopefully, things will settle down soon, and we can get back to pre-covid days!!! I truly wish you the best! Thank you for posting also! It does help others reading this to know what's going on.

Still waiting for an approval since the offer came in on Saturday. They requested more info on Monday evening, I sent it. They pushed it back today asking for something else. I just sent it. 🙏🏻 Send me all the prayers and good vibes that they have what they’re looking for. This dragging out for days is so stressful.

Ugh, I just was asking how it's going. I see as well as this site has been! Bugs and glitches! Have you tried to call and get past the call center? I know that there have been issues with updates, backend bugs, and maintenance. I  would hate to have you send it in and they didn't receive it. If they don't obtain it in X amount of time they assume you are done or don't want it and the loan offer goes away and back into the algorithm you go! Good luck and stay on it.
