Marijuana and Hemp Banking in Arkansas: Current Rules and Regulations

At Safe Harbor Financial, navigating the regulatory environment is challenging for many CRBs. That’s why we prioritize ensuring that we are operating in compliance with all state and federal regulations governing hemp banking.

Arkansas legalized medical marijuana in 2016, but recreational cannabis is still illegal in the state. It is a Schedule I drug under federal law, meaning it is still illegal at the federal level. Despite this, there are still ways for businesses to access services, but they must adhere to specific regulations.

The following laws and agencies apply to Arkansas hemp banking:

  • The Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission (AMMC) oversees the administration of the medical marijuana program in the state. It is responsible for issuing licenses and regulating the cultivation, processing, and sale of medical marijuana.
  • The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the US Treasury Department responsible for combating money laundering and terrorism financing.

At Safe Harbor Financial, we work closely with all relevant agencies to ensure we comply with all regulations. Our compliance team stays up-to-date on any changes to regulations and works proactively to ensure that our policies and procedures are comprehensive and industry-leading.
