Gain access to unmatched marijuana banking in Portland, Maine

The legalization of recreational cannabis has proven a boon for the local Portland economy. After Maine citizens voted to legalize recreational cannabis in 2016, dispensaries first sold products starting in October 2020. In the following year, the state saw over $111 million in medical marijuana sales alone.

Portland, Maine, is renowned for its farmer’s markets, restaurant scene, and food and drink festivals. With legalization, there are now opportunities for cannabis connoisseurs to get in on the action. 

Yet, without adequate financial services, such businesses will struggle to fund expansions or even run day-to-day operations. The industry needs an experienced cannabis financial institution to deliver impeccable regulatory support and financial services.

Whether businesses are managing funds, paying taxes, or eyeing a potential opportunity, cannabis banking in Portland, Maine, is essential for the industry’s future. Safe Harbor Financial has already shepherded the Colorado cannabis industry to success, supporting dozens of businesses. In fact, we process in excess of $200 million monthly in cannabis payments; and we work alongside regulators and law enforcement to provide up-to-date advice.
