Square to Launch 'Cashless Switch Campaign' on April 1 (Wednesday)

Square Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Block, Inc., USA; Block Head: Jack Dorsey; hereinafter 'Square'), which provides card payment terminals, POS systems, online payment services, and more for small and medium-sized businesses, supporting their transition to cashless operations and store management, will launch the 'Square Cashless Switch Campaign' from April 1 (Wednesday) to May 31 (Sunday), 2026. This campaign aims to encourage corporations and sole proprietors currently using other companies' cashless payment services or POS registers to switch to Square products.

In the 'Square Cashless Switch Campaign,' participants will receive one free payment terminal (from Square Reader, Square Terminal, or Square Register)* upon switching, and payment processing fees will be waived for sales up to 1 million yen.

*The type of payment terminal provided will be selected by Square.

Square offers a variety of devices, including the fully integrated POS register 'Square Register (2nd Generation)' released in Japan on March 31, 2026, and 'Square Handy,' which can handle everything from payments to inventory management. These devices enable a smooth payment experience and allow businesses to start using payment services as early as the same day.

This campaign aims to reduce the cost of switching from other companies and support more efficient and smoother store operations. With various models and systems continuously emerging, many business owners expressed difficulty in switching to new terminals due to issues like cancellation fees, even if they wished to do so. Therefore, following the positive reception of the previous autumn campaign, this spring campaign is being implemented. We hope businesses will utilize this opportunity to achieve smoother operations.

Square will continue to listen to the needs of store operations and transform store management efficiently through the power of technology.

About Square

Square began 17 years ago in the United States with a single invention: the mobile card reader. This small white card reader transformed the financial system and created opportunities for businesses of all sizes to explore new possibilities.

Today, Square has evolved into a business platform that goes beyond just payments, bringing momentum to commerce. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools to remove friction from business operations, including POS registers, cloud invoicing, appointment management, and funding. Square supports various industries, including restaurants, retail, and beauty salons. It supports all types of commerce in 8 countries worldwide, including Japan, from those honing their skills to those starting new ventures.

Square believes that the accumulation of every moment it creates becomes new energy for businesses. We believe that when people engaged in commerce can move more freely, new possibilities will open up for businesses, individuals, and communities, and Square will continue to support the realization of this vision.
