As a merchant, I greatly prefer Square ver PayPal. They are much more friendly to the businesses they work with, and their rates are similar to stand-alone merchant processing but provide many more benefits. It's hard to understand why they are such a lackluster stock, considering their size, profit and customer base.
I’ve seen Jack Dorsey sitting five feet from me when I had a high school internship at square hq in San Francisco I essentially walked by a few billion dollars

In India we use UPI(Unified Payment Interface)....linking our cards to an UPI ID...do all transactions are done bank to bank...We just scan and pay...No physical device setup cost...Just smartphone does the work.

“To protect themselves from holding all of this risk on their balance sheets, Square also sells off the loans for a lump sum to other Companies and then continues to collect a service fee from the buyer.” That sounds familiar.🤔 I think the year 2008 would like say something...
I think it is important to touch on the fact that the Bitcoin feature of Cash App has been Square's only segment that was profitable from the first day it opened for business.
In South Africa we have two things. 1. Money Market Money market is an in store money transfer service like Western Union 2. 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..
Strange, PayPal is a billion times worse, I've had nightmares of using PayPal's service and their awful terms of service. I'm not a business owner but I used them for my freelance work and also selling products. I've lost an untold amount of money, or rather they stole it from me legally, using PayPal. They are legal financial pirates. It's abhorrent.
So a guy in St. Louis ... Had a father who was the dean of the school of engineering at Washington University St. Louis. He inherited his fathers money and had been a serial entrepreneur for 30 years but never was successful ... He had two programmers working for him at one time. The first one was myself and the second one was Jack Dorsey. So the entrepreneur was in to glassblowing and art but not much of a hands-on software developer. He designed the square logo as the swiping device. Supposedly he approached Jack after he successfully created Twitter for the capital to create Square Inc. But he became a silent partner and let Jack Run everything since he was just an ideas guy. later he donated 15 million to the school of engineering to have it re-named after his father. Then he moved to San Francisco ... Don’t know what McKelvey has been up to since.
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).
Square is only getting bigger. None of their competition can compete, it's the nicest payment processor you can buy right now for any small business. It's dead simple too.
0:54 this is why you dont listen to people on your tv and you listen to yourself. these people are not professionals lmao.they're saying dont buy at 60, the company is more than 200 now. these people make me sick.
damn. I wish I bought Square before covid. I use Square to charge credit card but that's it. I did not know they collect loan payments through daily swipes. That's so cool.
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.
I mean Square is one of the most popular shapes in the shape industry! Maybe only behind the circle, but some believe that the square is the most successful!

Just had a terrible experience with square, not for chargebacks but just signing up.. Getting into medical school would be easier than getting approved with them . After providing them with 3 months of bank statements and my articles of formation for my two year old company, and driver's license front and back, and licenses and tax documents for my business, they have this message which is preventing me from starting business with them. When uploading the invoice that I made through their system they say "Incorrect invoice. Check to make sure the cardholder and the signer are the same person and verify that the form is for the full transaction(s) in question." Sorry, but how am I supposed to make sure that the person entering the information is not using somebody else's credit card or debit card? I called to ask them but just like you say in this video, it is impossible to reach them. I am trying to find a good payment processor as an alternative to Paypal who also sucks. I currently use EasyPayDirect and I am not going to lie, getting approved with them was a total pain, but the difference between them and square is that they have people who answer the phone and they also sent me almost daily emails asking if there was anything they could do to help me sign up for the program. I can see how some people would be annoyed by these emails, but for me being a busy businessman processing $1 million per year, I liked their almost uncomfortable amount of emails. It helped to remind me to get my paperwork and stuff in. The most difficult part of getting approved with easy pay direct was making a terms and conditions page and privacy policy. There are places online if you Google they will help you make a terms and conditions and privacy page. I think I paid about $170 to get these silly legal documents made, but it was really worth it. Use termsfeed. com to make a privacy policy first and then make the terms and conditions page if you are going to have a privacy policy on your website, because I think @t asks you if you have a privacy policy when you make the terms and conditions page. It is expensive but it is really convenient, and the best part is you will not have to deal with these SJW payment processor's like square who do not value you as a person!
Heard news, Canadian coffee truck shop uses cuban coffee and square process transation but USA bank does not give money to the business owner because the owner uses cuban coffee.

There are places online if you Google they will help you make a terms and conditions and privacy page. I think I paid about $170 to get these silly legal documents made, but it was really worth it. Use termsfeed. com to make a privacy policy first and then make the terms and conditions page if you are going to have a privacy policy on your website, because I think @t asks you if you have a privacy policy when you make the terms and conditions page. It is expensive but it is really convenient, and the best part is you will not have to deal with these SJW payment processor's like square who do not value you as a person!
*Circle & rectangle* definitely guna be one of their competitors in the future!! 😬

Triangle said cba!! 😂
All this squares make a circle! All this squares make a circle!
I use square for my business. I charge my customers the 3% fee. No issues.
That's stupid, why don't you increase your prices by 3%?
@@maeudaou7347 and we care because?
Good breakdown. Enjoyed this video!
Square is terrible for businesses that process more than $1,000 a month
Apparently $67 is the magic purchase number for it to worthwhile to merchants... less than that, it is more expensive than alternatives. .
Capable of plugging into a "headphone jack" and iPhone killed the Headphone jack.
Heard news, Canadian coffee truck shop uses cuban coffee and square process transation but USA bank does not give money to the business owner because the owner uses cuban coffee.
I just wanna say how much I hate square for breeding merchant entitlement by prompting customers to tip for the smallest transactions.
Absolutely. Focking ridiculous
I work in the hotel industry and I would love to see a property management system (PMS) as clean and useful as square.
Kenyans have been doing this for years now. How the west thinks it's a novel concept is beyond me. And we don't even use cards. Keep playing catch up.
With just a SIM card.
They would do away with a lot of hassle if they just ditched the plastic cards as a whole.
7:02 - the way she says "LOAN" just leads me to believe she's an Aussie trying so hard to sound like an American, but ultimately fails.
Please change the title to "How Square loses money". Thank-you.
Got the most important point on this new gadget problem.
Lmao
Now sq Stock had rose almost to 130 during corona. I told my mom to buy the SQ stock for my birthday and I got enough money to buy a new graphics card.
It's at $245 now damn
How do you notice a bad stock:Found over a dozen of red flags in a 13 min AD...
Why didn’t you pop up in my recommendation 12 months ago so I would have bought this stock at 70ish instead of 140 lol (still made a lil bit of money tho so it’s not TOO bad
I got in at $23, gotta love the easy this stock is performing.
It's at $ 245
Wish it would’ve popped up when you got into it 😆 now look at me getting in at $270
The reason why US is ahead! Creativity and the atmosphere for whom is looking for success!👌

Never mentions that Square also sells Bitcoin.
Hopefully Square buys Nash then uses and advertises Nash Pay for crypto payments into fiat *instantly* then automatically converts it into a decentralized manner.
ElChapo TunnelDigger they said that. Cash app segment did mention through cash app you could buy/sell cryptocurrency.
Meh. Bitcoin is nothing more than the modern day Beanie Baby.
@@Nimatodesexcept the price goes up/down every minute. I'd need medication to own that stuff. WE actually have a bitcoin mine here in town, on the banana side of the Rockies, but it has more to do with guys that ALREADY have money, cash flow, underground economy, and are looking for miriad ways to "wash" what they ALREADY have. No thanks.
ElChapo TunnelDigger they literally did
the first time I heard of square, it was from a news from CBS...
Coffee vendor out $14,000 after using Square
Right… I have seen that and there are more small businesses that have had issues too… I had Square years ago and am researching my best options now again as I prepare to open my therapeutic massage studio business… I have heard of CashApp and Zelle Pay and PayPal and such.. as a sole proprietor business, the processing fees can be insane…. Age of information ~ Age of mis-information The coin always has 2 sides… I must find the Middle Way… ha
This narrators voice is like scratching a chalkboard. I'm 4 minutes in, my ears are currently bleeding and I want to die.
love these research pieces you guys do!
So I can make any shape and earn this amount of money?
