Learn More

Safe Harbor Financial started in 2015 in response to the severely underbanked companies in the legitimate cannabis industry. Major financial institutions were unwilling to provide financial services due to the federal stance on legalization. Companies were, therefore, turning to unscrupulous institutions or misrepresenting their accounts to access much-needed banking and other financial services.

We facilitate unmatched services for marijuana banking in New York City, including checking and savings accounts, online banking, consumer payments, electronic tax payment, direct deposit payroll, and much more.

After seven years of industry experience – managing more than 600 accounts and processing over $12 billion in cannabis funds – we understand what it takes to help your business succeed. Our personalized advice and services can ensure you receive the financial leadership necessary to help your business thrive. 

Join us today to access trusted marijuana and hemp banking in New York City.
