‼️ I’m honestly baffled by the positive reviews! At first, square seemed like an interesting, simple, and convenient platform. I received my first payment from a long-time client of my business, and right after that, I got a set of very basic verification questions. They also offered an optional step to upload identity documents, which I did. Everything went smoothly, and within a couple of hours, I received a positive response.A week later, I continued working with my loyal client. After second payment, I suddenly received an email from square stating that they needed to "verify my identity" through their third-party provider, KYC veriff. This request struck me as extremely suspicious—after all, I had already submitted my ID during the initial verification. But fine, I played along. I went through the verification process, and Veriff confirmed my identity with a blue checkmark. Shortly after, square sent me an email confirming they had received my documents and promised a response within two days.Four hours later, they deactivated my account.I immediately refunded my client, withdrew my money, and cut all ties with this platform. The real kicker? Veriff approved my documents, but square didn't. The same documents that were perfectly fine during my first verification were now suddenly unacceptable.This is beyond shady—fraud, bias, hypocrisy, and blatant reputation destruction. Is Square just another scam harvesting data from small businesses? I don’t know, but shareholders should seriously take a look at what’s happening.I absolutely do not recommend using Square. 😡😡😡
