Cannabis Business Solutions, Inc. (CBS) is a national firm with over 10 years of experience specializing in payment processing and banking solutions for hemp, CBD, Delta, THCa products, smoke shops, as well as adult-use and medical cannabis dispensaries. CBS supports in-store, online, and mobile payment solutions.

Led by CEO Catherine Zito, CBS is recognized for delivering secure, hemp and cannabis compliant financial services. 

Catherine is also the organizer for the largest cannabis and hemp networking community in the U.S., with over 6,600 members. 

Customers can pay using MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

We are 100% hemp compliant, unlike some processors such as Square, which are not fully compliant and may close your account without notice.

We also provide 24/7 customer support, including weekends.

Payment Methods:

Customers can pay using credit or debit cards—in-store, online, or via mobile.
