Why MMJ Merchants Choose Corepay
Most banks and processors decline medical cannabis outright. We help compliant operators identify the payment options that match their license, jurisdiction, and product mix.
Challenges Facing MMJ Merchants
Banking Refusals
Most acquiring banks decline medical cannabis outright, citing federal regulations and card network restrictions on the category.
Account Instability
Operators who do find processing often see accounts closed without warning when a bank or processor exits the category.
Cash-Heavy Operations
Limited card acceptance forces many dispensaries and MMJ businesses to operate in cash, raising security, reconciliation, and compliance costs.
Patchwork Compliance
State and national medical cannabis programs vary widely, and a solution that works in one jurisdiction may not be available in another.
