Safe Harbor Financial was conceived in 2015 to tackle an ongoing crisis: the chronic underbanking of the nascent cannabis industry. Because of federal prohibition, major financial institutions refused to accept money from cannabis-related businesses due to excess paperwork and prosecution fears. Only through specialized financial institutions, like Safe Harbor Financial, are cannabis-related businesses (CRBs) able to access financial services. 

We’ve spent the past years developing our range of services, including checking and savings accounts, online banking, consumer payments, electronic tax payments, direct deposit payroll, and more. Little wonder that we’ve earned a reputation for personalized banking and reliable regulatory support. 

As we’ve expanded, we have processed more than $12 billion in cannabis-related funds, supported over 600 accounts, and operated in 20 states nationwide. Our lessons and guidance were critical in guiding Colorado’s cannabis industry; now, we’re bringing our expertise to hemp and marijuana banking in Ann Arbor.

Please let our team advise and support your CRB – become a member of the Safe Harbor family today.

Experience renowned marijuana banking in Ann Arbor

Home to the University of Michigan and a bustling cultural scene, businesses in Ann Arbor are well-positioned to take advantage of Michigan’s liberalization of its cannabis laws. Yet, the legalization of recreational cannabis only passed in 2018, meaning the industry is still in the foothills of future growth.

Nevertheless, as a whole, Michigan collected $175 million from a 10% excise tax on recreational cannabis sales in 2021. With municipalities receiving over $56,000 for every recreational retail location in its boundaries, there’s a strong pressure to expand this fledgling industry.

With the annual “Hash Bash” held in the city and a long history of openness to marijuana, cannabis-related businesses can thrive if given the right financial support.

Safe Harbor Financial is an experienced financial institution that’s helped hundreds of businesses expand and reach maturity. We appreciate the difficulty navigating the tumultuous waters of the cannabis industry. But with our support, marijuana and hemp banking in Ann Arbor can transform your business, taking it to the next level.
