Lounges have been cash-only by default. That ends here.

Consumption lounges sit in the most regulated corner of cannabis. Federal banking restrictions and the industry's high-risk label have kept most operators stuck on cash — with all the security risk, reconciliation pain, and customer-experience friction that comes with it. BIG has been placing cannabis accounts since 2008 and builds lounge-ready solutions that move you off the cash-only treadmill.

Why lounges go cashless with BIG

Federal banking restrictions mean cash has been the default. It doesn't have to be — here's what cashless unlocks for your lounge.

Enhanced Security

Eliminate cash theft, loss, and counting errors. Secure transactions reduce the burden on staff and lift revenue.

Less cash on-site
Fewer errors
Safer staff

Reduced Operational Costs

Cut cash handling, armored car services, bank deposit fees, and counting time. Electronic payments pay for themselves.

No armored car
Lower bank fees
Time savings

Improved Customer Experience

Modern, convenient payment options — the kind of frictionless flow that keeps lounge guests coming back.

One-tap pay
Familiar UX
Higher loyalty

Enhanced Reporting & Paper Trails

Electronic transaction reporting answers any compliance question and streamlines reconciliations — no manual work.

Audit-ready
Auto-reconciled
Full paper trail

Why lounges stay with BIG.

01

Built for the lounge environment

Tip prompts, member-program billing, bar-side reconciliation, age-verification flows — every terminal we ship to a lounge is pre-configured for the specifics of consumption-lounge operations.

02

Compliance and security baked in

Solutions designed around the cannabis industry's reporting regulations. Robust fraud prevention, full audit trail, and a processor that has never been the cause of a sudden shutdown.

03

Future-ready as the industry evolves

Lounge regulations are still moving. BIG has watched cannabis evolve since 2008 and adapts the moment a new rail opens — you hear it from us first, every time.
