Experience success with marijuana banking in Los Angeles

With one of the biggest recreational cannabis markets in the country, Los Angeles is experiencing unprecedented growth in the cannabis industry. Even more impressive, since Proposition 64 passed in 2016, the city of angels has been leading the way legislatively. 

The new Cannabis Appellations Program seeks to “promote regional cannabis goods and local businesses, prevent the misrepresentation of a cannabis good’s origin, and support consumer confidence about a cannabis good’s origin and characteristics.”

This industry-leading attitude creates the ideal atmosphere for growth – so long as businesses are supported by the relevant cannabis banking institution. 

However, with cannabis enterprises previously being forced to pay their obligation in cash due to the absence of cannabis banking in Los Angeles, there remains a dire need for a reliable and reputable institution to lead the way: enter Safe Harbor Financial.

We believe further innovations and opportunities await – and we’re ready to help you seize them.
