Square Loans FAQs

Square Loans provides access to funds to grow your business, with no hidden fees or lengthy applications to fill out. Upon approval, funds are deposited as soon as the next working day – so you can invest in your business immediately to increase inventory, purchase equipment, hire employees and more.

Your loan must be fully repaid within 18 months.

Yes, you’re required to pay at least 1/18 of your initial loan balance every 60 days to make consistent repayment progress. For most Square Loans sellers, regular processing volume will cover the minimum payment.

Note: If you just make the minimum payment, you will only pay down half your total owed balance of your loan. You will owe the remaining balance upon the maturity date of your loan, and may be debited for that amount.

There are no ongoing interest charges. Instead, you will pay one loan fee to borrow the loan. The loan fee is the difference between the total owed amount and the initial loan amount. The loan fee will never change, regardless of how quickly or slowly the loan is repaid.

Upon approval, funds will be deposited as soon as the next working day.

For more information about your bank’s processing speed, please contact your bank.

Once you have applied for an offer, we’re unable to change the loan amount. If you’d like to cancel your loan after it has been funded, you can do so before a decision is made on your application or within two working days of the loan acceptance date listed in your contract. If you cancel your loan, a subsequent offer is not guaranteed.

You are not able to adjust your repayment rate after you apply for your offer. The repayment rate is tied directly to your loan offer size and is based on a number of factors, including your business’ history with Square, as well as payment processing volume.

Applying for a Square loan doesn’t affect your credit score.
