Cannabis Merchant Account

Cannabis Merchant Account Services, offered by us, are dedicated to all related to cannabis businesses, manufacturers or retailers for Cannabidiol oil (otherwise known as CBD oil), Hemp oil, CBD Cream, Medical Marijuana Dispensaries and many, many more. Cannabis is known to have a number of medicinal effects on the body. Every day we are seeing new research and projections detailing another medicinal benefit of marijuana products, and this is a good indication that the hemp industry in general is going to be huge over the next few years.

Whilst we are currently seeing a surge in companies selling hemp & CBD products, such as vape oil, and CBD oil creams, we are still coming up against a brick wall when it comes to dealing with banks and other financial institutions. It is common for those in the cannabis industry to be labelled ‘high risk’ by these institutions thanks to the fact that it is a new industry and comes with a certain (yet unfair) reputation.

Cannabis Merchant Accounts

A typical merchant account is a business account which is needed for companies to be able to accept online and ‘in-store’ check and card payments. It allows a card payment to be paid into the business merchant account, which is then deposited into the business’s bank account later, as one big payment, if there was more than one transaction.

If a business, however cannot be granted a merchant account (as is the case with most ‘high risk’ businesses) it means that they cannot process card payments. And this is why obtaining dedicated to cannabis merchant account is problematic for a lot of CBD vape oil or hemp related businesses.

What is the Solution?

Well, at present there are three possibilities:

  1. Set up an underhand method of processing card payments. This is, however, risky, wrong and certainly NOT recommended.
  2. Don’t accept card payments. If you are a retailer, and sell in person, this might be an option for you. Although it is worth remembering that the more payment options you can give to people, the more likely they are to buy from you. Many CBD or cannabis businesses operate online, and this would be almost impossible without the ability to process card payments.
  3. Use a company such as us, to obtain your perfectly legal and reliable Cannabis Merchant Account.
