Hi everyone! Has anyone been offered a Square Loan this year 2021? Is square still offering? What is the maximum loan amount Square is offering? I’m almost paid off but still haven’t seen any offers from Square.

Hi @Dvcarwash1,

 

We appreciate you taking the time to reach out.

 

We thank you for your patience during these difficult times. We understand the challenges you have faced and are proud to partner with a business as resilient and flexible as yours.

 

COVID-19 definitely forced us to take a step back and recognize how this virus changed how our sellers do business. New signals and criteria are consistently incorporated into our lending models to ensure we can best serve you. Eligibility and offer sizing for Square Loans program is based on a variety of factors related to your Square account, including payment processing volume, account history, and payment frequency. More details on eligibility and offer sizing for Square Loans can be found here.

 

While we do not have a specific timeframe for when another loan offer may be available, the Square Loans program will continue to automatically review your account for eligibility. We understand that not being immediately eligible can be frustrating, but we are unable to override the automatic review process with a manual review.

 

I hope this information was helpful! If you have any questions about Square Loans please contact the Loans team directly.

Hi, has there been new changes to your square loan offers. I normally get to around 80% and get a new offer for the last year and half. I’m almost done paying off my loan and have not received  anything. I’ve been reading reviews and users are saying Square is doing things a bit different now. Any info that I can get to speed up the next offer will help!

Very vague article and it’s not telling me anything I didn’t know already.

I was wondering the same thing. I’m almost done paying my loan not even a year and I’m not receiving offers either.

Yes, I am wondering the same thing.  I have consistently been offered a new capital loan through Square when my loan is almost paid off.  Now it is completely paid off and still no new loan offer.  The article about eligibility for loans through square capital does not help with answering any questions.

  • Square processing volume.  - We process almost $10k per month on average, they (Square) want at least $10k per year.
  • Square payment frequency.  - We process payments bi-monthly, they (Square) want consistent payments.
  • Your customer mix. - We have a lot of returning customers and a mix of new ones also, they (Square) want a good mix of new and returning customers
  • A healthy, growing business. - We have more than doubled our revenue since our first square loan 4 years ago, they (Square) want you to process more through Square.

Watch Out For These Factors

  • Chargeback history. - Only 1 in 4 years.
  • Multiple Square accounts. - Only 1 account!
  • Failed debits. - Never happened!

According to their own Eligibility requirements, my business meets all of them and yet, nothing...  we didn't even slow down for COVID-19.

Hello @paulamartin,

Happy New Year, and thanks for your question! The Square Loan program is still ongoing in 2022.

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.

Currently, offer eligibility is based on payment processing data, which means eligibility can change as frequently as your business does. Loan processing data includes your processing volume and your processing history, such as failed debits, chargeback history, and changes to your processing behavior, among other factors.

We understand that it is frustrating that we can’t guarantee that you’ll receive a new offer because you’ve had previous loans with us in the past.

Square accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that each business gets the right customized offer. We can’t predict if or when your business may be eligible for an additional Square loan, however, we will continue to monitor your account for eligibility. If your business becomes eligible to apply for a loan, we’ll notify you through your Square Dashboard.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us directly.

Did they pause loans again to do PPP loans? I’m at 97% again and no offers.

Hi @Kimmiekay

 

Thanks for reaching out and raising your question. I'm happy to explain

 

While Square Loan offers may be available to some businesses, we are still actively making updates based on the current state of COVID-19 and changing public health guidelines. The status of restrictions and reopening in your location and industry may impact your eligibility. To account for local and state restrictions related to COVID-19, eligibility criteria has been tightened. Due to evolving health guidelines, your offer may be smaller than expected or the offer amount may shift in real-time. 

 

We understand that funding is important to businesses now more than ever, and we are continually re-evaluating your account on a daily basis to determine if you’re eligible to receive another Square Loan.

If you’re not immediately eligible, we’ll continue to monitor your account as your eligibility may change at a later date. To learn more about Square Loan eligibility, visit our Support Center.

 

If you’re eligible for a new Square Loan, you’ll be notified directly on your Square Dashboard and via email.

 

Let us know if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Has anyone got a square loan lately? I’m edging close to finishing this one out and have always got them around 60-75%. I know they paused during COVID but I’ve since got one. I know they’re talking about PPP loans but just wanted feedback on what percent and possibly how much? I know this last loan for me was a shock at how low it was compared to my others that I pay off very quickly.
