Navigating the complex legal and regulatory landscape is a challenge for all cannabis-related businesses. With no major financial institutions willing to cater to the cannabis industry due to federal prohibition, Safe Harbor Financial stepped up.

After seeing the chronic underbanking crisis plaguing the industry, we were established to ensure that legitimate cannabis-related businesses could access the needed services. In the past seven years, we’ve processed over $1.2 billion in cannabis-related funds, managed nearly 600 accounts, and operated in 20 states. 

Our Burlington cannabis banking services include checking and savings accounts, online banking, consumer payments, electronic tax payments, direct deposit payroll, and more.

Elevate your business with marijuana banking in Burlington

As the principal city in Vermont, Burlington has been a regional hotspot for the burgeoning cannabis industry. Yet, despite numerous dispensaries opening, sales of recreational cannabis took slower to take off, with state-licensed medical cannabis dispensaries only allowed to sell to all adults on May 1, 2022, and retailers from October 2022.

That means the opportunities for cannabis businesses are still increasing as the industry diversifies and matures. But with a thriving tourism industry – and numerous annual festivals – Vermont’s biggest city is poised to see substantial growth in the cannabis industry.

What’s needed is an experienced cannabis financial institution to advise and guide businesses through this complex legal and regulatory landscape.

Safe Harbor Financial prides itself on being a part of the community. In Colorado, we forged a path for cannabis banking, pioneering new tools and approaches. Under our guidance, businesses could grow and adapt despite the changing market. 

As the industry continues to evolve, we’re proud to pass along the lessons and expertise we’ve learned. We’re dedicated to delivering the best marijuana banking in Burlington.
