PIN Debit refers to a transaction that is run over any of the PIN Debit networks.  PIN Debit for cannabis can only work with networks that have expressly provided their permission to transact for cannabis.  With a Cashless ATM (A.K.A. Point of Banking) transactions are very similar but the transaction is carried out on the ATM networks.  Rather than funding a transaction like a card payment it is a withdrawl from the customer's account.

A merchant account is an account with an acquiring bank that enables a business to accept credit cards.  A merchant account is basically a line of credit that is established based on a number of factors including credit, business model, and the amount of “credit” that is requested.  Bankcard International Group provides the absolute best rates and service possible.

An acquiring bank is a financial institution that is a registered member of the card brand associations Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, etc.. in order to fund credit card transactions for their merchants.  Acquiring banks provide transaction funding so businesses can accept credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of non-cash payments.
Acquiring banks are appropriately named as they acquire (or accept) credit card transactions from card issuing banks that provide consumers with credit cards.  An acquiring bank is responsible for underwriting a “merchant account” for any business that it allows to accept credit card payments. In doing so, acquiring banks assume the risk associated with the transactions they process and fund. In the event that a business is unable to refund a reversal, chargeback, or refund the acquiring bank is liable to provide those funds to the cardholder.  

Applying for a merchant account is relatively simple but you do need to be prepared to provide documentation to show that you are a legitimate business with good intentions. 

Since merchant accounts are a function of the banking system and are susceptible to fraud they are required to adhere to federal guidelines including the Patriot Act and KYCC (Know Your Customer’s Customer) oversight. You will be required to provide your business information, personal identification, and credit information so the bank can verify your ability to be approved for an account.
