Marijuana and Hemp Banking in North Dakota: Current Rules and Regulations

North Dakota has specific rules and regulations governing hemp banking. CRBS must understand these rules to succeed in the industry effectively, especially as cannabis is legal for medical use but illegal for recreational use in the state. 

The primary agency responsible for regulating the marijuana industry is the North Dakota Department of Health. This department is responsible for issuing licenses to CRBs, enforcing rules and regulations, and monitoring the industry to ensure compliance with state laws.

While recreational marijuana is illegal, hemp was legalized via the 2018 Farm Bill. CRBs can now grow, harvest, and process hemp (for CBD products). Few financial institutions are proficient in the legalities and regulations governing this sector. However, Safe Harbor is an industry authority on cannabis banking in North Dakota.

We’re dedicated to helping CRBs navigate these complex regulations. Our team of experts is well-versed in the laws and regulations governing hemp banking, and we can help you stay compliant with state requirements. With our comprehensive suite of banking services, including electronic tax payments and cash management accounts, you can simplify your finances and reduce risk.
