Cannabis has always been a bit of a niche, and that is no different for dispensary businesses. Not every shop has deep pockets, big investors, or a spot under a public company’s umbrella. All across the USA and Canada, there are mom-and-pop dispensaries, family-run shops, and small independents working hard to serve their communities.
The challenge? These smaller operations often struggle to obtain the necessary tools to operate effectively and competitively. Payment processing, compliance help, and even basic banking can be more complex to secure when you’re not part of a large chain. With the USA still classifying Cannabis as a Class A narcotic, banking is still a challenging aspect regardless of a dispensary’s size.
That’s precisely why Brother Processing Solutions (BPS) has made small dispensaries our focus, including Indigenous Communities.
We Understand the Little Guys
Cannabis POS Systems
BPS has built its reputation by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with independent cannabis retailers. We know the headaches — the red tape, the fees, the long waits for approval — and we’ve made it our mission to remove as many of those barriers as possible.
Instead of forcing you into a “one-size-fits-all” package, we work with you directly to set up a payment system that fits your size, your budget, and the way you do business. Whether you need debit processing, a point-of-sale system, e-commerce integration, help with financing, or all of the above, we’ve got you covered, and we’ve done it before.
Payments That Just Work
With our Cannabis Interac ® Request Money and Send Money options, getting paid — and paying others — is simple, fast, and secure. (Canada Only)
Request Money lets you send customers a pre-filled payment request by email or text. No typos, no confusion, no awkward “how do I pay you?” moments. You even get built-in reminders and real-time notifications when the money hits your account.
Send Money works just as smoothly for paying suppliers or partners. Funds move in real-time between bank accounts, helping you keep your cash flow healthy without waiting days for transfers to clear.
In the USA, we work closely with regional banks friendly to Cannabis businesses to secure cannabis POS systems and debit card processing solutions. This includes taxation and compliance guidance on the financial side. Because the USA cannabis payment landscape is changing regularly, we’re your boots on the ground to meet any change straight away and minimize or eliminate downtime.
Helping You Compete With the Big Players
Big chains might have bigger budgets, but small dispensaries can absolutely match them on customer experience. With lower transaction costs, modern payment options, and full compliance support, we give you the tools to deliver the same — or better — level of service. This is because we do not have shareholders counting every penny, and we put our clients first, not last.
Your Business, Your Pace
Whether you’re just opening your doors or expanding into delivery and online sales, BPS will be there every step of the way. We make approvals fast, keep compliance simple, and help you focus on what you do best — building your Cannabis business and serving your community.
