Cannabis Banking

from The Payments Perspective by Wespay Hosted by Wespay

In this episode, Jim Petkovits, Vice President of Education at Wespay, sits down with Erin O'Donnell, co-founder of the Association for Cannabis Banking (ACB), to unpack the evolving world of cannabis banking. As cannabis legalization grows, financial institutions face both risks and opportunities in serving this high-risk industry. Join us as we break down compliance challenges, fintech innovations, and why cash is still dominant. We cover best practices, the evolving regulatory landscape, and what the SAFE and SAFER Acts could mean for the future of cannabis banking.
