Founded in 2015, Safe Harbor Financial was created to meet the nationwide challenges facing the cannabis industry.

Get started with marijuana banking in Phoenix

Phoenix is a late addition to the legal cannabis market after the passage of Proposition 205 on November 3, 2022, legalizing the recreational use of cannabis throughout Arizona. While medicinal cannabis was legalized in 2010, relatively few dispensaries opened. Hemp and marijuana banking, therefore, are relatively underdeveloped compared to other states in the US.

That’s where Safe Harbor Financial comes in. As a leading cannabis banking institution, we’ve processed in excess of $12 billion in cannabis-related funds since 2015. Moreover, our team of nationwide industry-accredited experts can advise on all aspects of cannabis banking in Phoenix. Such access to unparalleled banking advice means SHF is head and shoulders above other local banking options.

As the Arizonan cannabis industry begins to develop, new businesses need to partner with an experienced banking firm that can guide them through the financial and regulatory aspects. We’re dedicated to supporting Phoenix’s thriving cannabis industry – helping businesses grow from small firms to statewide giants.

Cannabis banking is about security and peace of mind. Whether it be paying taxes or wages, online banking, or record-keeping, having access to trusted, comprehensive financial services can remove much of the headache from growing a cannabis business. While we handle the financial aspects, you can pour your energy into growing your business.

Moreover, without cannabis banking in Phoenix, your business becomes a prime target for thieves. That means additional security, armored vans, and threats to staff. Cannabis banking isn’t optional; it’s a necessity. After all, it’s why Safe Harbor Financial was founded.

How do I apply for a cannabis loan? +
