Marijuana and Hemp Banking in Iowa: Current Rules and Regulations

As of 2021, Iowa has very restrictive cannabis laws, with only medical marijuana legal in the state. The only medical marijuana legal in Iowa is medical CBD marijuana, with a cap of 4.5 grams per patient in a 90-day period. Iowa’s CBD oil law only permits using cannabis oil with a maximum of 3% THC for treating chronic epilepsy and other qualifying conditions.

Despite the state’s strict cannabis laws, Safe Harbor Financial has been a trusted provider of Iowa marijuana banking services to CRBs for several years. The bank can do so because it complies with all state and federal laws and regulations.

We adhere to rigorous compliance policies and procedures developed specifically for the industry. These policies and procedures have been designed to ensure the bank fully complies with all relevant state and federal laws and regulations.

Safe Harbor Financial understands that the hemp industry is highly regulated, and businesses in this industry face many challenges regarding banking. That’s why the bank has developed a comprehensive set of compliance policies and procedures designed to help CRBs operate compliant and transparently.
