Comprehensive Cannabis Banking Education
Upcoming Webinars
Free: The Cannabis Bankers’ Quarterly: Cannabis Reform in the Second Trump Administration
Date: January 23, 2025
Time: 3pm – 4pm ET
Price: $0
The cannabis industry is expected to see continued growth in 2025, but with the transition to a new Administration and a new Congress, it’s unclear what, if any, policy changes will be enacted at the federal level. Regardless, challenges like regulatory hurdles, competition from the still-strong illicit market, and the complex patchwork of state laws will continue to shape the cannabis banking landscape. Designed for bankers already serving this industry and those who are “canna-curious," this webinar will take a deeper look at the politics surrounding cannabis reform in 2025, what to expect on the rescheduling front, and steps bankers should take now to ensure they are positioned competitively in what could be a year of significant change.
FREE: The Q3 Cannabis Bankers’ Quarterly: A New Network-Sponsored Payments Solution
PLAYBACK AVAILABLE
The evolving landscape of cannabis legalization, shifting public attitudes, and the substantial economic opportunities within the cannabis industry highlight the critical need for normalizing payments. This webinar will introduce bankers to a new opportunity to accept a network-sponsored cannabis payments solution offered by Fiserv as they continue to establish new relationships with licensed cannabis operators and find new growth through low-cost deposits, non-interest income, and earning assets.
FREE: Rescheduling Explained
PLAYBACK AVAILABLE
When cannabis is rescheduled, this will likely mean some de-risking for financial institutions working in this space. However, financial institutions will need to continue to classify these accounts as higher risk because cannabis will still be considered illegal under federal law. For financial institutions, the BSA/compliance requirements now continue to remain in place, at least until FinCEN updates its 2014 Guidance.
