Square Card also encourages commerce among the small business community by offering sellers a 2.75% instant discount on purchases made at other Square sellers.

“As sellers make crucial spending decisions, we know that fast access to funds – and the ability to put proceeds from sales to use immediately – can help with overall cash flow management. Small businesses have to be nimble. They don’t have the time to wait for funds to clear a bank account, or the resources to easily reconcile personal versus business expenses. Square Card addresses these pain points, and further extends Square’s ecosystem of products and services for small businesses.”

Alyssa Henry, Seller Lead at Square

Square Card Flexibility

Square Card offers new flexibility to underserved small businesses when it comes to accessing and managing funds, allowing them to:

• Use Square Card anywhere Mastercard® debit cards are accepted to make crucial purchases for their business with funds that are available as soon as they have made a sale.
• View Square Card purchase activity alongside a comprehensive record of sales in Square Dashboard and Square Point Of Sale.
• Access reporting features that separate business and personal expenses, making it easier to assess a business’s financial health and track business expenses for taxes.
• Export Square Card transaction data from Square Dashboard in easily downloadable formats for accounting purposes.
• Withdraw funds at ATMs for cash purchases or expenses.

“With Square Card, the money I make from a photo session is at my fingertips so I can purchase the supplies I need to run my business – whether that’s coffee at a client meeting, props, or a last-minute replacement lens.”

C.C. Nedrow, owner of Payton’s Photography in Montgomery, Illinois

Existing and new Square sellers will have access to Square Card beginning January 17, 2019. To learn more, sellers can visit http://squareup.com/business-debit-card.
