Approval capability despite industry challenges. Secure, compliant payment processing for CBD oil, hemp products, and wellness businesses.
Navigating Regulatory Complexity
CBD and hemp businesses face unique banking challenges despite the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing hemp-derived CBD products. Many traditional processors decline CBD merchants due to regulatory uncertainty and perceived risk. START Merchant Services has developed specialized banking relationships to serve this growing industry.
CBD products fall into a complex regulatory gray area. The FDA has not approved CBD for dietary supplement use, creating uncertainty for payment processors and banks despite state-level legalization.
Most mainstream banks and payment processors decline CBD merchants automatically. Federal banking regulations and risk management policies create significant barriers to CBD merchant account approval.
CBD merchants must navigate THC limits (0.3% or less), state licensing requirements, product testing documentation, and changing regulations. Processors must verify compliance before approval.
Specialized Banking Network
START Merchant Services has cultivated relationships with 5 specialized banks that understand the CBD industry and actively approve compliant CBD merchants. These banking partners recognize the legitimacy of hemp-derived CBD products and provide stable, long-term processing relationships.
With agreements across 5 different banks, we can match your business with the banking partner best suited to your product mix, processing volume, and business model. More options mean better approval rates and competitive pricing.
Our banking partners stay current on CBD regulations including the 2018 Farm Bill, state-by-state requirements, and FDA guidance. We help you navigate documentation requirements and compliance verification.
