Square Capital Denied

If you have had mant square capital loans and have paid them back in a timely manner, then you should be just as unhappy as me to be denied we requesting another loan.  Each time they offered to me NOW I found a fantstic deal on a new delivery truck and Square

does not appreciate me enough as a customer to extend another loan.  Why should we continue to support square if they are no longer going to support us!  I have been looking into other merchant services and I think I am on my way to another.  I hope others will follow so Square can appreciate their clients once again.

Are there other merchant service providers who hand out loans?

Sure there are other options for small business owners to utilize for straightforward, personalized capital needs. But most of your Square Sellers truly felt that our Capital offers were sort of earned not just handed to them, by diligently working to put our capital loans into building our businesses and upping our revenue processing. Speaking for myself, I loved the set fee and the repayment schedule. Obviously the downside, is the more prevalent ambiguity of the program for sellers that have had many loans in the past.

 

Wishing you all the best!

Has anyone been denied a loan then received a loan offer immediately again? 

It was denied for a mistake made with squares terms but my account was restored to good standing but they denied me anyways.

Have you paid at least 80% off of your existing loans?

With all due respect, being paid back at 80% on a current loan does not automatically qualify a seller for another loan offer with Square Capital. They ( the capital support team ) advise the automatic machined algorithm takes into account account history, new customers vs. retained customers, chargeback history. Especially if you are a repeat Square Capital Buisness owner do NOT expect offers at repayment percentages you have had in the past.

I have paid 4 loans off in 18 months.  I process over over [Personal Information Redacted] a year with 50 to 80 transactions a month and every day of the week except sunday.  I have paid my last loan off in full and did it with the usual [Personal Information Redacted] withdrawl from each check and still I have not been offered a loan.  It seems like they are giving loans with lower exposure, because I have not been offered any loan at all and considering its one of the reasons I process with square I have not switched over to another processing company.  I was given may reasons as to why I am not offered another loan, one was that I can not apply for another loan until I had paid my loan in full and two weeks had past. It has been over two weeks and I have not been offerd anything.  It is clear they have changed how they offer loans and regardless of what you process, I would start exploring other options.  As a small business owner I know the importance of getting loans for capital, it helped me grow my business to what it is today.  That being said,  as much of an inconvince switching processing providers will be... I can not stay with a processing provider who charges the fees square charges without allowing me to use my processing amounts as an asset to have the option to gain a capital loan if my company should need it.  I don't need square giftcards or marketing, my company markets itself.  No one likes to be given the run around, especially in business.  I had hoped square would at the least provide a clear understanding of why suddenly after my company had been offered mutilple loans, those loans paid in full and my company processing higher and more then prior years I am no longer offer a loan of any kind without any real reason as to why?

I just recently got denied as well after how many loans I’ve been doing with them. And I even paid off in advanced but still got denied. I am very disappointed because I have paid 92% off of my loan and hoping to get another one since I have been good standing with them. If I have only known I will get denied I should have not paid some of it off and just waited for all of my sales to come through. I just don’t understand how I got denied when I’ve been with aquare for 3-4 yrs and been getting loans from them and paid it off.

Yes, same here!  I got to 80% repaid, so I bit the bullet and paid off the remaining 20% only to be ineligible for a new loan.  I was flabbergasted because I literally pay off my loans in 3-5 months every time.

I'm kind of in the same boat as other people here and that my loan is about 92% paid off and I usually have an offer. Here's the difference: Yesterday I had an offer, and today it's gone! Even though I've paid more of the loan off the offer is gone I'm assuming there is something going on with square Capital that either their process is changing or their product is changing. It sure would be nice to get good communications from Square Capital. It seems all they (the company) really care about is square marketing. Like others, I take care of that myself. That's part of owning a successful business.

Great point.  Square owners should not expect any clear answer to why they are not offered a loan regardless if they are fully paid or 80 percent paid.  Square owners are not entitled to another loan from square just as square isn't entitled to square owners staying with square and paying fees to square through processing.  If you want to use your processing to your advantage, square may no longer be the best option for your company.

Very sorry to hear your opportunity was not in good timing with an offer from Square Capital.  I want to and have to believe that out of every challenge a chance for growth and knowledge is the end result.  Focus on growing your business, and explore every avenue to make your new vehicle happen!

Wondering why my 3 chargebacks that we’re due to accidental error ( online reservation deposit and client didn’t recognize the charge ) were the cause of a capital denial that was offered in my dashboard:( I was truly counting on this renewal !! 

 

The He amounts were all less than $100 . Super sad about this.. what’s the magic number for chargebacks to be qualified again ?
