Square, the payment tool many small businesses use to process customers' credit cards, said it will begin rolling out stimulus loan applications to its customers, as part of the U.S. government's Paycheck Protection Program.
as Treasury Department approved participants of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, which provides aid in the form of forgivable loans for small businesses that use at least 75% of the loan to all employees on their payroll for at least eight weeks.
The payment app said it will begin notifying sellers when their application is available via Square's desktop dashboard application, beginning with employers whose application data Square can verify automatically. The company said it expects to expand access to more small businesses soon. The $350 billion stimulus lending is part of the $2.3 trillion stimulus package that was approved recently by the U.S. Congress.
"We know sellers need financial support now more than ever, and we're committed to making funding accessible to as many small businesses as possible," said Square's Jackie Reses, also in a tweet.
