Cannabis Banking, solved.
Running your legal cannabis-related business is complex enough without all the financial runarounds — cash transactions, lending hurdles, banks that avoid you. Until now.

Whether you run a cannabis dispensary, cultivation facility, ancillary business or a hemp/CBD business, Abaca has a banking, payments or lending solution for you.

How Does Abaca Work?

Payments
The Cost of Cash is Significant to Your Bottom Line
Accept pin debit and electronic payments in-store and online. The majority of consumers would rather use a card than cash, especially if the transaction is over $22 (Experian). Increase transaction count and ticket amount with Abaca’s secure, fast and reliable payment processing options.
Lending
Grow Your Business
Cannabis has been called the industry for the 1%. Abaca is solving that problem, too. You don’t need access to private capital to get into the cannabis industry. Look at lending solutions through Abaca to help your business really grow.
Abaca helps connect cannabis businesses with real estate/mortgage loans, equipment financing, inventory credit lines, purchase order financing and receivables factoring. With offices in Colorado and Arkansas, we are helping cannabis businesses grow nationwide.
