Marijuana banking in Hawaii — Current rules and regulations

Cannabis is legal for medical use in Hawaii, and licensed dispensaries have been operating since 2017. While adult-use cannabis hasn’t been approved yet, legislation is still under consideration—and many businesses are preparing for what’s next.

Hemp is also legal to grow, process, and sell in Hawaii under state and federal law. Whether you’re in cannabis or hemp, banking remains one of the toughest parts of running a compliant operation. That’s where we come in.

At Safe Harbor Financial, we’ve supported the legal cannabis industry since 2015—processing over $25 billion in funds through secure, transparent financial services. We offer checking, lending, payments, mobile access, and regulatory expertise for Hawaii’s licensed operators.

If you’re applying for a license or already in business, having the right banking partner matters. Safe Harbor is here to help you move forward, with the tools and experience to support your success.
