There is a common misconception throughout the industry that licensed Cannabis dispensaries only have one choice for a partner merchant service bank here in Canada. But this is not the case. Nonetheless, most dispensaries don’t know how or where to source a few different merchant service provider options. With the Cannabis industry growing at a faster pace than ever<\/a>, it is in the best interest of every dispensary license holder to be aware of the options available to them and their business.<\/p>\n

A Lot Goes into a Cannabis Dispensary Operation<\/h2>\n
\"Start<\/a>

Start Accepting Marijuana Payments<\/p><\/div>\n

Cannabis licenses are not simply handed out to anyone who takes the time to fill out an application. There is a good measure of due diligence that goes into meeting the requirements to manufacture, process, or distribute Cannabis in all of its various forms. Until recently, the banking industry was well behind the regulatory progression when it came to recreational cannabis businesses.<\/p>\n

Knowing where to turn for a startup dispensary or a well-established dispensary stuck on 10-year-old processing rates could seem rather daunting.<\/strong>\u00a0With little guidance available and a lot of hoops to jump through, many dispensaries were left taking cash-only sales or paying huge fees for credit and debit processing at their retail Cannabis stores. This is the main reason we entered the industry. Too many Cannabis businesses were given the cold shoulder when it came to standard merchant services.<\/p>\n

Investing in the Cannabis Industry is Investing in People<\/h2>\n

As laws changed and communities that had previously been targeted for Cannabis related crimes could operate freely, the business landscape of the Cannabis space changed dramatically. What happened was a clear\u00a0paradigm shift in how the government and authorities looked at Cannabis companies and the people running them<\/strong>. Underserved communities could now take advantage of the changes in the legal system and benefit their entire community from the proceeds of running a legitimate business.<\/p>\n

Licensed Dispensaries Have Options Not Previously Available<\/h2>\n

If you’re a licensed dispensary or of Indigenous descent, there are several options you can consider when it comes to Cannabis credit and debit card processing. What was the long-standing norm (using Interac for debit card processing) is still available but there are better options on the table now if you know where to look. Working within the context of the law is important to keeping compliance at the forefront and is a big part of getting the ball rolling smoothly.<\/p>\n

Your next step is to talk to the right Cannabis Merchant Service provider<\/a> who understands the “do’s and don’ts” of the space.<\/p>\n

“Your Success is Our Success”<\/h3>\n

It is a phrase thrown around by marketers and business service companies far too often. The sad truth is that most of these services operate on a volume over quality basis model. They need to keep signing up new clients as their retention and client churn are extremely high due to poor individual service.\u00a0There are no cookie-cutter solutions for any business let alone one in a complicated industry like Cannabis.\u00a0<\/strong>What one dispensary needs will vary greatly from what another dispensary needs when it comes to its banking services.<\/p>\n
