Square (now Block, Inc.) is a payment processor used by many small businesses, restaurants, and retail stores. 'SQ *' followed by a business name is a charge from a merchant using Square's point-of-sale system. This is usually an in-person purchase (coffee shop, food truck, salon, small retailer). The merchant name typically appears after 'SQ *'. If you see 'GOSQ.COM' or 'SQUAREUP.COM', the merchant didn't set their business name.
Square charges are usually one-time purchases (nothing to cancel). If you see recurring charges, contact the merchant directly — their name should appear after 'SQ *'.
Contact the merchant first. If unresolved, Square's dispute process is at squareup.com/help. You can also dispute through your bank.
If “SQ *” surprised you, there might be more subscriptions hiding on your bank statement. Upload your statement and we'll find every recurring charge — with cancel links for each one.
