In today’s digital economy, consumers expect the convenience of being able to pay with credit cards, which are among the most widely used payment methods for goods and services. This holds true even for the cannabis industry. Cannabis credit card processing is thus an essential component of a thriving cannabis business​​.

However, cannabis credit card processing is not a straightforward task. It’s a complex process that involves multiple key players, including the customer, the merchant, and the card-processing business, such as banks or independent businesses like GreenLink Merchants. The process starts when the customer uses their credit card to initiate a transaction and ends when the transaction amount is transferred from the issuing bank to the business’s bank account​.

This complexity is magnified in the cannabis industry due to legal challenges. While cannabis is legal in several states, it is yet to be legalized at the federal level. As a result, credit card transactions in the high-risk space like cannabis must follow stringent guidelines and use e-wallets or stable coin for purchases. This situation presents significant compliance costs and legal risks to financial institutions, which are required by the federal government to make several monthly reports, and can face substantial fines for misreporting transactions or non-compliance with reporting guidelines. Consequently, many financial institutions are reluctant to offer services, including cannabis credit card processing, to cannabis businesses​​.
