Don’t Get “Squared” by Square Up

I am noticing more and more merchant using Square for processing their credit cards.  On the surface Square may seem like a good option and for some it maybe.  If you are just starting out and not sure how well your new business my take off and depending on what you are selling or services of your new business, perhaps it is a good option. For example, right now it is more of a hobby that a thriving business.  Square might be a good option.



However consider the down side of Square.  In many cases the cost for processing credit cards can be higher with Square.  Because Square is an aggregator you have no true merchant account.  They refer to their customers as sellers.  When one opens an account, they take much of what one presents with little vetting or underwriting.  If they question later what you do or sell or how you sell it, all then without warning your money will be withheld.  Then the fun begins with getting help or having a conversation with a person.  Consider other service related issues.

By the way Square is losing money, Net Loss of $48 million - per page 13 of 4Q 2015 letter to investors.

  1. Hello everyone!! do you know you can have your account loaded or funds transferred into it of amount up to $50000 and more. I didn't know as well until i met this great hacker called skylink technology who assured me of how this thing works. I was in urgent need of money and had no one to turn to for help until I came across a reference to them and how they did various tech hacks so I contacted them, in need of their help and they offered it to me. Yes, it wasn't done for free. a question everyone is likely to ask and it doesn't also mean it was expensive as well. at least nothing good should come freely after all. just be focused and go for what you want and believe me, you are going to be happy with your results. skylink thank you very much for this. if you need there help you can reach them on: skylinktechnes@yahoo.com
