Charge Identifier
What is SQ *COFFEE?
Most likely
Square (payment processor)
SQ *COFFEE
This charge went through Square, which small local businesses use to take card payments. The text after SQ * is the business name they configured — often abbreviated, or different from the storefront sign out front.
What to do
- →Search your email and texts for the exact date and amount — the processor emails or texts a receipt to the contact on file, usually from the business, not the processor.
- →Think about somewhere you paid by card recently — a coffee shop, market stall, salon, or food truck. Square is common for one-time, in-person visits.
- →If the name still means nothing and you find no receipt, treat it as a charge to verify with your bank.
