Finance and Strategy Manager, Square Banking

  • Full-time

Company Description

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

 

Square Loans is our growing financing platform that sits within our Square Banking organization. Square Loans help businesses access the funding they need. We have extended over $9 billion in funding to over a hundred thousand sellers, helping them manage their cash flow and making it easy to invest in and grow their business. We extend offers to pre-qualified sellers with no application process, we deposit funds as soon as the next business day, and we handle repayment as a fixed percentage of credit card sales.
