About this episode
In today's episode of π»ποΈ B2B Vault: The Payment Technology Podcast Allen & Justin dive into the world of ππ¨ cannabis payment π°π²πΈπ΅π€ solutions and the bumpy road ahead. π Visa and it's member banks have been sending out warning letters to π§ ATM Providers about Cashless ATMs. π So we are going to dive into what is going on. π Cannabis businesses - Dispensaries do not have a way to accept credit cards. π So many have turned to Cashless π§ ATMs - now Visa is going after the providers and warning everyone that fines can be as high as $50,000 for each machine. π I would say that everyone would LOVE It if Congress would address the SAFE Banking ACT and pass it, this is a can that has been kicked down the road. π While cashless π§ ATMs have been around for quite a few years - it is apparent that Visa has had enough and the fines have started. π In the last 12-18 months, we have heard about many providers being shut down. π We discuss in the podcast today - what are the other options? π You can always get a compliant π§ ATM solution in your cannabis business - these have restrictions but it is legal, and there will never be an issue. There have been quite a few. Work-around products over the last decade - all of them eventually get closed down. π It's probably time that the ππ¨ Cannabis associations start working with Visa and other card brands to come up with a solution and pressure congress into acting - maybe getting petitions going state by state and pressuring congress into helping a multi-billion dollar industry get banking and payments going! The can has been kicked down the road for far too long. Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
