Square, Inc. was founded in 2009 by Jack Dorsey and Jim McKelvey and has since rebranded its parent corporate entity to Block, Inc. The Square brand continues to be the face of its seller and merchant services ecosystem. Initially launched with its iconic square-shaped card reader that allowed small businesses to accept credit card payments via a mobile device, the company has expanded into a full-fledged commerce platform. Today, its services include point-of-sale (POS) systems, e-commerce solutions, business financing, payroll management, and customer engagement tools, with a mission to empower businesses with accessible and easy-to-use tools for economic growth.
