CBD Banking Basics
One of the biggest surprises for many CBD and hemp business owners is that they encounter difficulty with banking. This in a large part is because despite the Farm Bill making the production of hemp legal, that CBD and hemp are considered “marijuana-related” business. Based on federal guidance, that puts a significant regulatory burden on the bank.
There are many banks that have compliant, transparent and secure programs but they typically require engaging an industry expert to place your account and work with you to prepare the application. The banks like these partnerships because the applications they receive are ready for underwriting review and approval. This streamlines the process for the CBD business owner and the bank. These accounts have no risk of shut-down because the bank is knows exactly what your business is selling and meets all of the requirements to accept and operate these types of accounts.
