  • Cannabis Related Merchant Account Approvals
  • Common Cannabis Related Businesses

Getting approved for a merchant account is normally a simple process. However, some business types have a harder time when a bank decides that their industry is “too high risk” to do business with. These industries are labeled as high risk and will often find it nearly impossible to get approved for a merchant account. Or, even worse, businesses may get approved (due to lazy underwriting), begin processing and get shut down a few months later during an account review and have all their funds placed on hold.

Cannabis Related Merchant Account Approvals

Unfortunately, these labels and restrictions created by banking institutions tend to be fairly broad and affect businesses that are even remotely related to high risk industries. This can apply to business types that are normally regarded as safe and easy to approve industries.

A good example of this is website development, normally a standard level of risk type of account for a bank to approve. However, if the web development company begins marketing their services to a niche, high risk market and putting out content promoting that industry, the bank may decide to sever the relationship.

With the rise of cannabis and cannabis related businesses, so too has the demand for legitimate and reliable credit card processing services. But what if your business does not directly sell cannabis or cannabis related products? What if you offer more mainstream business services that shouldn’t get you flagged as high risk but you are still having issues getting approved?
