Related FAQs

Why do I need to submit additional information?

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.

Why do you need this information when I didn’t have to provide it in the past?

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 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.

What if I don’t have all the requested information?

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, we will be in touch through email and your Square Dashboard.

How long do I have to complete the information request?

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.

How long does the application review process take?

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 working days.

Why haven’t I received a decision after three working days?

Typically, you will be notified of your application status within one to three working days. If you don’t receive a decision within this time frame, it may be because we still need additional information from you. Be sure to check your Square Dashboard and email inbox for any notifications asking you to provide additional information.

Can I upload my documents through my mobile device?

Yes, we support documents uploaded using iOS and Android devices using a supported web browser such as Safari or Google Chrome. If you can’t upload documents using your mobile, try a laptop/desktop computer. Your uploaded documents must be:

  • PDF, JPEG, JPG, TIFF or PNG file format

  • Under 25MB in file size (each).
