I'm curious about the small business loans. I'm from Europe and the animations suggests for a $9000 loan a total repayment of $10305. Let's assume you make $5000 in revenue per month and they use 10% as a repayment cut per transaction. That would yield a 20 month long repayment schedule. The "interest" would be roughly 7% annually. In today's world, isn't that greedy? In today's world, Warren Buffet can issue a 0% coupon bond[1]. I'm just perplexed. Especially since it's Square and not Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan.
According to the St Louis Fed, the average interest rate for Small Businesses was about 3.5 - 5% [2]. For me this sounds like an incredibly bad deal.
