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've received 3 loans.
They've all been paid off for weeks before they offered a new one.
Oh goodness. Have you ever reach out to the customer support and ask them why? I'm curious
No. I just figured it was normal. I've never gotten a loan before paying a loan off.
I never say never with an algorithm but imo not the traditional way it normally goes. After you establish a good 3-4 loans you should be rolling along here.
Me too! 🤔🤔🤔
Ops see what I mean these just popped up after I sent you the reply. I have seen more and more lately vs 10-12 years ago posting loans 1-3/4 are bouncing, not going higher amounts like others, etc. Has it changed from years ago yes, it is different. I could almost like clockwork knowing I would receive an offer between 70-75%. That was 4 to 5 years ago. If my business was growing my offers did as well. Now, a good group of regular older users stick around and help out but more importantly watch the trends. This forum site has great users and they are not going to read you a script! This past year square has grown and more people switched to it. The volume and number of loans are up every quarter. Unfortunately, it's such a small % that post here so we don't always see it. I'm seeing a higher % paid back, the same offer as the prior 1st, 2nd offer lower (sales doubled) 3rd slightly higher than the last offer. Shareholders want to know what and where their money is. All lenders even banks and credit unions are holding onto the money tight. The market is up and staying pretty steady, interest rates didn't go up and those are all great things for lending. Hopefully, very soon things will open up!
Wow, that is crazy! I have been with Square since the day I opened and I have (yet) been fully paid off before I received one. My highest was 91% in August and the lowest I remember was 65 or 69% I would have to look again. It's early yet! 😆 and a rough week for me trying to post or comment here. I'm not sure if it was on my end or if everyone was experiencing it. Bugs, crashes, sit and spin, and it's trying to load and then crash, lost it all. Have you been with Square for a while now? Curious with this now.
I habe been having major issues with square the past week or so...not receiving cuatoner messages. Customers paying invoices but it never goes through. I called square yeaterday and of course was told it was on my end even though its happening with multiple long time customers! I hope they fix the issues this is a busy time for me
Im on 83% right now
On 87% and still no offer. Guessing I probably won't get one until the loan is paid off haha maybe around 90% if I'm lucky according to other people's experiences
Almost a year of upper 90s to pay off and now it's 2-3 people who pop in and post-70s and it throws everything off! Hopefully, the trend is getting better, and sooner offers for those who are waiting. Good luck!
I'm at 86% and still nothing. So aggravating!
Im at 94% all green still waiting,
Ugh, it's been a crazy month from 70-100% paid off! Pretty hard to try and get a feel for a trend. Fingers crossed soon!
Good luck! Hopefully soon!
I just got approved at 76% previous loan paid and $5k more than last loan and that’s with my service dollar amount as “needs work” after one day of being not in the thousands. So I’m pretty on a normalcy streak with the loans. Idk if this is of any help or causes more frustration but I just wanted to update.
Congratulations!!!!! You are one every week that pops in at the high 70s and receives an offer. Definitely, glad to see the increase of any kind! Congratulations again!
I’m at 64%
Still waiting on my approval. 😭 Still going back and forth with them daily providing information.
Not to get too personal but is this information that has been provided before? I know many started with like a DBA or SSN and then got an EIN or became an LLC and needed to update information. You're not alone I've seen 5 or 6 other people as well and some 1 day and done. Others nope, 1 item at a time to upload!
Update: I received a loan offer this morning at 95% paid off. It was only for $8k which is $22k less than my previous loan. I’m grateful none the less, and will work on getting this paid down quickly. A lot has happened with my business since I received my last loan, and we’ve had to adjust to a new way of doing things. So I’m not surprised the offer is so much lower, I just pray I can build my offers back up to where they were.
