Not touching the plant shouldn't mean fighting for a merchant account.

Packaging suppliers, equipment vendors, marketing agencies, compliance software, legal and accounting firms — ancillary cannabis businesses keep the entire industry moving, but most processors flinch the moment they see 'cannabis' anywhere on the application. BIG bridges that gap. We've been writing ancillary merchant accounts since 2008 and know exactly how to position the file for approval.

A great help to our canna business.

We have been using Bankcard PIN Debit system for 1 year now and it has been a great help to our canna business. Not only by significantly reducing the amount of cash handling but also by boosting our ADS, and on top of this they have a fast responding help team. Thanks Shane and team.
