BLOCK( SQUARE)

HQ: OAKLAND, CA, USA CEO: JACK DORSEY FOUNDED: 2009

Block’ s white square card reader created a new category in small business payments. What began as a solution for accepting card payments without traditional merchant accounts has evolved into a broader financial services platform. The company currently operates two distinct business lines: the seller-focused Square ecosystem and the consumeroriented Cash App. This structure creates connections between merchant services and consumer financial products. Block’ s corporate strategy increasingly incorporates blockchain technology initiatives, reflecting Dorsey’ s interest in decentralised finance applications alongside traditional payment processing services.
