Evaluating CRB banking for
your institution's risk profile.
CRB Banking Compliance
Although cannabis and marijuana is now legal – either medically or recreationally – in the majority of states, it remains illegal at the federal level, hamstringing cannabis-related businesses (CRBs) and marijuana-related businesses (MRBs) from accessing traditional financial accounts and services. As more states legalize cannabis and marijuana, the onus is on financial institutions to complete thorough due diligence and know their customers/members that cross state lines for services.
