Square began in 2010 after the invention of a small credit card reader that plugged into iPhones. About 10 years later, the company has grown into a $26 billion fintech behemoth under Jack Dorsey's leadership. Square profits off a lot more than card swipes at your favorite trendy coffee shop.
The company provides a wide range of software products for sellers that helps simplify everything from payroll to making appointments with customers. Square offers small business loans as well, often in sums smaller than traditional banks are willing to lend to neighborhood stores, restaurants and coffee shops.
On the consumer side, Square launched Cash App, originally called Square Cash, in 2013. Since then, the app has seen enormous growth, jumping from 7 million to 15 million users in 2018 alone.
Square credits its success to a mission of economic empowerment for everyone from a small business owner to a major retailer. But critics say the company may have lost focus, be overvalued, and struggle to sustain growth if the U.S. faces an economic downturn.

The Square small business loans remind me of the micro loans making a huge difference in Africa. Local entrepreneurs giving local businesses a few hundred dollars for basic upgrading and expansion, that the banks won't even look at. It could be as simple as a new delivery bike for the bakers, but multiply that by thousands across a country and it's having a big impact.

Its intended to be simple. But as a small business (private instruction) this actually made things more frustrating. All my "we dont do cash families" never stuck to one platform. It was either cash app, paypal (NOT a small business friendly at all!), venmo...with what I charged an hour it got really annoying. So I turned the table and demanded cash only (oh yah...and I get to keep the entire amount).

Cash Send/ E Wallet Is a bank to peer service where you can send money to anyone using your bank app and they withdraw at the banks atm for free no charges to the withdrawer So our two products fail in terms of convenience. With the rise of high end smart prices and ntc being used as a product differentiator cash app would not work in South Africa. We are still stuck with sending texts to tell the withdrawer to go to the atm or go to the store to get your money.

I used their service for 6 years now. Two years ago I took a small loan from them with fixed amount added instead of interest rates. I paid CB it off and decided to take a bigger one. That changed my relationship with Square. I noticed that I’m hesitant charging customers through Square because of an additional fee taken from the payment, then opened PayPal and another merchant account that are similar to Square. I’ll pay off square loan at one point, but that would be the end of our relationship. They made a mistake by not charging interest rate like other lenders, but adding fixed loan percentage and then taking 17% from daily sales, which if you have $2k + per day accumulates a large sum taken from your pay check, which in turn accelerates the payoff. Paying a fixed fee in a short time ($450 from $5k loan) equals to high interest rate loan..

To clarify, most of the 2.75% fee goes to card issuer and the clearing houses like Visa and MA. Square only takes a very small amount.

So retailers pay Square 2.75% plus per transaction. What have the credit card companies they usually get 2% or more, so if you are using a credit card, does the retailer now have to pay Square and the Credit Card companies?

Is it overvalued? Yes, everything is overvalued. What's the downside? A small niche payment processor and peer to peer fund transfer system. What's the upside? Everything stated above, but with a Bitcoin brokerage arm of the business. Even if you don't like Bitcoin, Square is selling the shovels for what's going to be a very big hole. I feel more comfortable holding my Square shares than Mastercard or Visa. We also use their products.
