In 2009, many businesses had no way of accepting credit cards, so Square set out to find a solution and invented the first mobile card reader of its kind. Now all types and sizes of business could take payments anywhere, at any time, and Square’s commitment to economic empowerment was born.
This little card reader transformed how small businesses thrive, grow, and operate in the world. And it put Square on a path to be about more than just payments, providing tools and solutions needed to make the future into exactly what each business wants.
