Finding it difficult to open a bank account? Constantly getting rejected by bank loans? You’re not alone. Cannabis-related businesses (CRBs) across the US report immense difficulties securing even basic financial services. Due to federal prohibition, major financial institutions refuse to serve CRBs for fear of prosecution.

Safe Harbor Financial was founded in 2015 to bridge this divide. For eight years, we’ve secured CRBs access to essential financial services, saving hundreds of companies from the clutches of the underbanking crisis.

In fact, we’ve processed more than $12 billion in cannabis-related funds, managed nearly 600 accounts, and operated in 20 states nationwide, making us a leader in marijuana banking in Oregon and across the United States.

Every Safe Harbor member enjoys all our financial services, making banking with us a seamless experience. Our Oregon financial services include checking and savings accounts, online banking, consumer payments, electronic tax payments, direct deposit payroll, and more to cater to all your financial needs.

Marijuana Banking in Oregon — Current Rules and Regulations

Cannabis in Oregon is legal both medicinally and recreationally. In fact, Oregon was at the forefront of the liberalization of marijuana laws in the US — first, decriminalizing possession — before legalizing medical marijuana in 1998 and recreational cannabis in 2012.

Currently, the legal sale of marijuana is managed by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission. Dispensaries and grow operations (alongside other CRBs) must apply for a license to sell marijuana legally. However, unlike more stringent states, hundreds of applications were received and processed.

In addition to the legalization, this state has become a hub for cannabis companies and hemp banking in Oregon. The first International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC), for instance, took place in Portland in September 2014.

Given the maturity and competition in Oregon, larger CRBs and fledgling companies alike need an experienced financial institution to guide them forward. Safe Harbor Financial helped numerous businesses navigate Colorado’s sizable marijuana industry, becoming the foremost cannabis bank regionally. Now, we’re sharing our expertise with CRBs in Oregon.
