Need a Cannabis Merchant Account?
Accept Electronic Payments
Enjoy Transparent Cannabis Merchant Services
A merchant account (also known as merchant services) lets your business accept payments in a variety of ways, typically by accepting debit or credit cards. At this moment, cannabis transactions are prohibited on the debit and credit branded card networks.
Cannabis businesses need the convenience of accepting electronic payments. But too many people open cannabis merchant accounts using false information that can lead to account closures or even blacklisting on the Terminated Merchant File (TMF) or Member Alert to Control High-Risk (MATCH) databases.
Having a transparent cannabis merchant account is vital for your business’ sustainability. Avoid shady payment providers and get a legitimate marijuana merchant account.
