Square has launched a complete point of sale and suite of business tools in Spanish for the growing number of Latino sellers across the US.
Census Bureau reports that Hispanics launched approximately 20% of new businesses in 2013. The research indicates that Hispanics are the more than likely to start their own businesses and they’re starting to grow new businesses at nearly twice the rate of the general population.
“Every entrepreneur and business owner should have access to tools and resources that inform their decisions and help them reach their goals,” said Square executive Ricardo Reyes. “Square’s powerful tools offer more than just a point of sale, they build on the experience for the business and its customers. Now Square is optimized for Latino businesses to serve their customers across the U.S.”
Square’s card reader and software can enable anyone to safely and securely accept credit cards and run a business from an iPhone, iPad or Android device. The mPOS company offers a low transaction rate of 2.75% per swipe, with no hidden fees. Funds from swiped payments are available the next business day, eliminating the wait for cash flow.
