We believe the economy is better when everyone has access. When everyone has room to grow. No one should be left out because the cost is too great or the technology too complex. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

Square started out as a credit card reader. Today we’re a platform of product services that help merchants run their business. From the inside, these product services are organized into business units with their own product and engineering teams. Underneath, there’s a platform team that supports the plethora of products.

The platform this team owns and maintains, called Regulator Platform, connects to all these business units across Square together to centralize data into one place. On top of this centralization, we offer a set of tools that power risk, compliance, customer success, and all other operational teams across the entire company. We enable product and engineering across the company to visualize how they connect into the bigger picture of Square and build solutions on the platform to optimize their operational functions.
