Information Requested for Square Loan Application FAQ

When you apply for a Square loan, certain information as it relates to your identity and/or business will need to be verified. This means that sometimes we require supplemental information in order to proceed with your loan application.

There are multiple reasons why you may be required to send in additional information when you didn’t have to previously. One common reason is to verify the identity of the individual applying for the loan, as well as the business information listed on the application. If additional information is requested, we will need it in order to move forward with processing the loan application.

Complete the request in full to the best of your ability. Your loan application will not be reviewed if the request is incomplete. If the submitted information isn’t sufficient, the Square will be in touch via email and your Square Dashboard.

You will have until the date specified in the email notification to complete the information request. If you do not provide all of the requested information on time, your application will be cancelled. If that happens, please visit your Square Dashboard to see if you are eligible to apply for another Square loan.

Once you’ve completed every information request, Square will be able to review your application. You’ll be notified of your application status within one to three business days.

Typically, you will be notified of your application status within one to three business days.
