Can I Get A Cannabis Merchant Account?

Cannabis Merchant Accounts and Payment Processing

There are many things to consider when trying to obtain a cannabis merchant account. For one, each state has different laws and regulations surrounding the sale and distribution of cannabis products. The legalities and brand associations are the principal concerns for banks and financial institutions. Even for medication such as pharmaceuticals, there can be challenges. Existing pharmacies that are online now have to acquire cannabis payment processing solutions custom to their needs. Age verification and THC content can also become an issue. But not to worry, PayKings has solutions that can help these merchants find out if they qualify, and stay ahead of changing regulations.

Is it easier to get a CBD, hemp, or cannabis merchant account?

CBD payment processing is considered high risk, but the industry has been growing year-over-year. See our CBD merchant account page for more information on this process. In contrast, hemp merchant accounts are dependent on the type of hemp used. There are many versions of this plant product that appear in everything from clothing to cigarettes.
