Marijuana and Hemp Banking in Colorado: Current Rules and Regulations

Navigating the legal landscape for marijuana businesses can be challenging, especially when it comes to banking. That’s why we are committed to being your trusted solution for cannabis banking. Our team of experts stays up-to-date on the latest regulations and industry developments, so you can focus on running your business.

As you probably know, cannabis is still illegal under federal law. However, Colorado has legalized both the medical and recreational use of marijuana, and hemp has been legal nationwide since 2018. These different laws, particularly those related to Colorado hemp banking, can confuse CRBs. Therefore, it’s essential to understand what you can and cannot do.

The Colorado Department of Revenue’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) oversees the regulation of the hemp industry in the state. The MED requires all CRBs to have a licensed location, maintain accurate records, and comply with state and local laws.

Additionally, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) provides guidance to banks and credit unions on their responsibilities when serving cannabis-related businesses.

We have a deep understanding of these rules and regulations and are industry-leading in providing banking services to CRBs in Colorado. We help you stay compliant with the law and ensure your business can operate smoothly and securely.

Whether you need to open a checking account, make electronic tax payments, or access investment options, Safe Harbor has you covered.
