Visa & Mastercard Processing for Cannabis
Merchant Account for Hemp Oil, Cannabis and Licensed Legal Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Industry. A business requires a merchant account to be able to do multiple transactions and facilitate different payment windows. Now, if you are a merchant dealing in hemp oil, cannabis and medical marijuana based products, you would have known by now that opening a merchant bank account for such types of businesses is very difficult.
CBD Hemp THC Companies are OK
Why are businesses dealing in CBD products seen as controversial? Cannabis, hemp, marijuana have psycho-active effects on their users. But the cannabidiol element in them is known to have many medicinal properties and uses. These medical and health benefits have been well researched over the years and their benefits cannot be denied.
However, the traditional financial institutions and payment processors see this as a very controversial business riddled with high risks and legal complexities. It is not uncommon for such businesses, even though legal, to be rejected or denied access by banks, and credit/ debit card processors and their applications rejected outright.However, we are a group who can provide payment processing solutions for such high-risk and controversial businesses and assist them in setting up and operating merchant accounts for conducting business transactions.
The difficulty in accessing reliable and cost-effective payment processing solutions is inherent to the medical cannabis and marijuana dispensaries industries. This can be attributed to the many conflicting federal, state and international laws. However, the increasing popularity of these products necessitate the need for a legitimate payment solution which includes retail as well as e-commerce business windows.And in the current competitive business environment it is also essential to have diverse payment acceptance methods. These require different payment processing gateways.
