For cannabis-related businesses, access to financial services is a chronic problem. Despite a wave of legalizations across the states, the federal government’s stance on prohibition prevents major financial institutions from accepting cannabis-related businesses as customers.

We founded Safe Harbor Financial to bridge this divide. Starting in Colorado in 2015, we’ve supported hundreds of companies in their journey to success. Now we’re sharing our lessons and services. Our Anchorage cannabis banking services include checking and savings accounts, online banking, consumer payments, electronic tax payments, direct deposit payroll, and more.

Under our guidance, we ensure businesses stay 100% regulatory compliant. We understand the challenges of navigating the tumultuous legal landscape. That’s why no financial institution does more to support marijuana banking in Anchorage and beyond.

Grow your business with marijuana banking in Anchorage

Following the legalization of recreational cannabis in 2014, Alaska, and Anchorage, in particular, have become a focal point for cannabis culture. The High Times Alaska Cup is held in the region, and tourist traffic for cannabis is sizable.

Indeed, being the third state to legalize cannabis has given plenty of time for the industry to mature and develop. Where other states are opening their first dispensaries, Anchorage features cannabis extraction businesses and other value-added enterprises.

However, like in all cities, the problem of cannabis underbanking lingers. Safe Harbor Financial is an industry-leading financial institution with extensive experience supporting companies in mature cannabis markets. Whether you’re involved in hemp, CBD, or marijuana, the full range of our services is at your disposal.

As the industry continues to diversify, you need an innovative cannabis bank to manage your account. We’ll ensure you are fully set up to explore any opportunities that arise.

Why do I need cannabis banking in Anchorage? +

Diversifying your business, expanding to new markets, and even starting up all require financial services, regulatory advice, and capital investment. Safe Harbor Financial delivers all three. If you want to grow your business and deliver quality service, you need a financial institution that’ll support your day-to-day running.

Moreover, the risks of theft or fraud for cash-only businesses are high. Additional security digs into profits and prevents successful business operations. Only with access to a bank can businesses receive the financial protection needed.

Do you have a loan program? +

Yes. All you need to do is submit a loan application. For existing bank members, please speak to your personal banker for more information. We aim to return a decision within 30 days of an application. During this period, we’ll conduct an interview and perform a document check to ensure you’re a viable candidate.
