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!

No, you don't have to only if you use square payroll. Your full legal name that matches what the IRS has on file for taxes. And address on file. If you want one or get one it's easy and fast to do it online than update it with Square. The EIN vs SSN isn't holding you up any. It's been trending higher percentage paid back for most. Here and there a few 70s pop in.

I've never been offered a loan while one is going. It's only ever been a few months after the previous has been paid off...

Wow, really? I guess in all my years I'll knock on wood! My highest was 91% and my lowest was 65%. 4/5 years ago like clockwork, I could almost quarantine 70-75% and an offer. Not so much anymore.

We've been in business 14 months and we're 88% paid on our third loan. We paid off the first one quickly, within a couple of months, the second one we were 75% paid off when we got an offer.

Now, this isn't science here ok. With using an algorithm all we can do is come here and keep each other posted and follow the trends. For the majority, that's how it works. Of course, not everyone falls into the same category. We are all different, and process differently, and our economy is all different. After 18 months of good healthy growth with Square, you are building up a relationship and a pattern of processing and trends. Normally, your offer would be going up significantly, as long as all your metrics are growing along with it. A good strong healthy business that each year is doing better. I looked back at mine (12) years. 1st loan 1k 2nd loan 6k 3rd loan 16k. Again, different times also. On the whole not just you or me or our businesses but worldwide the countries haven't made a full recovery. Lenders watch closely and that's why it is tight right now. Good luck to you and hopefully soon!

At 88% paid, we finally got an offer. It was half as much as last time, but we're ok with that, we'll pay it off quicker and still have enough to buy extra inventory. Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting. By the way, the offer came about 6 hours after the daily update.

Hello, im guessing you are from Michigan too? There have been low 80s and a couple in the 70s. It's been a good year of higher-paid back to paid off. I have seen since October that % coming come a bit. Hold tight and process as much as possible, especially like a 3-day span and see if that kicks in the algorithm! Good luck!

I'm at 75% and no offer, but I got offered a Square Credit Card with a 25k credit line. Has any one else seen this? Are they doing this instead of offering new loans?

Hello, yes they have been in testing for some time now. They are real, legit, and will be offered more to people. You can't apply for one as of now its offered like a loan. Please keep in mind if you accept the card you will no longer receive loan offers. In the testing stage a few snuck through for both but that is fixed. Just an FYI ok.

Hello, I’m at 86% and have not received any offers until I was fully paid off. Do not, I repeat, do not make any payments towards your remaining balance… it will set you back on being offered a new loan. Just make sure you just increase your credit card intake to boost your percentage up…

They offered me a loan at 80% this time, like previous, at 4k more than my last loan. So, the loans are still going out! The approval did take a little longer than usual and they did ask me for a few more documents, but it was still easy. Hoping the best for everyone! Happy holidays!

Good morning they offered me a loan at 97% paid off. The offer was a little over 2k less than my last offer. I’m not sure how they generate their numbers but my processing has gone up a whole lot.

Unfortunately, most (not all) have been slightly lower. A handful I have seen received 3-5k more. Lenders are still waiting but the Feds lower the rates again by only .5 but better than raising it. This debt ceiling is a concern to lenders. Take care of that and get past the holidays which tend to be slower than normal and things pick back up after the 1st. Good luck!
