Making Cannabis and Hemp Merchant Payments Easy: How Cannabis Business Solutions Can Help

By Catherine Zito • January 29, 2024

The growing hemp and cannabis business faces some tricky issues when it comes to getting paid. But don't worry! Cannabis Business Solutions offers a straight forward approach to make the application process simple and smooth. CBS helps hemp, Delta, medical and recreational cannabis and related businesses with easy and efficient payment processing, whether you're selling in stores, online or mobile. Nobody likes the stress of their credit card account or bank suddenly closing for no reason. Catherine Zito, CEO of Cannabis Business Solutions, Inc. and the organizer of the three largest U.S. hemp and cannabis networking groups with over 6,000 members says this issue happens too often. Starting a business can be overwhelming, especially with payments. But a good payment processor should handle all the complicated items, like compliancy, keeping customers data safe, and offering an alternative to cash transactions. This is crucial, as relying solely on cash can expose staff and the business to the risk of theft. A hemp or cannabis friendly bank is required before making an application for merchant credit card processing. CBS works with over 60 banks and credit unions across the country. “Our job is to find the perfect fit for each merchant and give competitive rates to make sure they make the most money,” says Catherine Zito. Banks aren't all the same, so our good relationships make it easy for businesses to find a bank and apply for merchant processing without any fees or long contracts. We're here to give special help that fits each business's needs. We strongly advise seeking out a reliable individual or company to assist you with payment processing in the ever-evolving cannabis and hemp industry.
