Square Credit Card Adds 3% Cash Back on Vendor Payments, Expanding Bill Pay to All Sellers
XYZ sits 64% above its 52-week low of $48.21.
Summary
Square is rolling out a major upgrade to its credit card and bill pay platform, directly targeting small business cash flow pain points. The card now offers unlimited 3% cash back on vendor payments made through the new Square Bill Pay feature, and 1.5% on all other purchases. Crucially, sellers can now pay any vendor—even those that don't accept cards—via ACH or check, with Square routing the payment. This expands Bill Pay beyond Square Checking users to all sellers, with OCR scanning and simplified setup. The move deepens Square's banking ecosystem and could drive card adoption and interchange revenue. It follows a strong Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance, reinforcing the narrative of accelerating platform engagement.
