As you probably already know, financial institutions tend to avoid offering loans to cannabis businesses. However, safe, secure cannabis business banking is an essential step in building respect for the industry and normalizing relations between your company and other members of the business community.

Now banking in excess of $200 million in cannabis-related funds monthly, Sundie reflects on some of the biggest legal and financial hurdles facing operators in the space and highlights what sets Safe Harbor apart from other cannabis lenders.
