LET'S GET STARTED

Fill out this form and a merchant services representative will be in touch.

With more states legalizing the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana, the cannabidiol (CBD) business is thriving in the United States. If you’re one of the many entrepreneurs who have jumped into the CBD market with both feet, you want to take advantage of every available avenue to sell these in-demand products.

If you want your business to accept credit or debit cards, a CBD merchant account is crucial for processing these transactions. Zen Payments provides the best merchant accounts for cannabis products.

YOUR CBD MERCHANT ACCOUNT SOLUTION

Finding a CBD merchant account can be difficult. This is due largely to the amount of regulation from national and local governments and card brands This means you need to partner with a processing company that has a history of making compliance their top concern. Many companies won’t board CBD merchants because of all of the compliance measures that it requires.

We believe this is a big opportunity for us. It is clear that the CBD industry is changing people’s lives, and there are many great merchants doing their part to help. We want to help you get a CBD merchant account, and get your business processing payments! We know the ins and outs of the CBD industry, and will make sure that you get approved for a stable long-term merchant account that will grow with you and your business.

Zen Payments has specialized in high-risk merchant accounts for the last 15 years, and CBD is one of our specialties.

CBD MERCHANT ACCOUNT STABILITY

Getting approved for a CBD merchant account with any provider is simply not enough, you need to ensure you are set up with a stable long-term merchant account.


Many payment processing companies will give you instant approval without formally underwriting your business. This is great until you start processing and they realize what you are selling. At this point, they will shut down your account at best, and at worst they will hold your funds for up to 6 months! Many companies like Square, Stripe, and Paypal fit this model. They are not fit to process for high-risk industries, which will lead to funds being frozen and withheld.

 

We actually underwrite our account before approval and work with our network of 15 banks to make sure that not only do you get the best rate, but you go through an underwriting process that will make sure your account is always able to consistently process payments! With us, your CBD payment processing will be one less thing you have to worry about.

CBD IS HIGH-RISK

CBD is one of the industries that gets immediately classified as “high-risk” in the payment processing sphere. This is due to a variety of factors. CBD was not federally legal until 2018. CBD has been extremely regulated due to how close in nature it is to THC. Similar to firearms, these large regulations often times mean that merchant accounts are more likely to be terminated.

Also, CBD is primarily sold online. E-commerce and high-volume sales only add to the risk, and this is why you need a high-risk payment processor for your merchant account. Not only do we understand the risks of CBD, we know how to mitigate them. Our strict underwriting process paired with our chargeback protection is what makes us the nation’s go-to provider of CBD merchant accounts.  We get you approved for the long haul, at a better rate than any of your short-term solutions.

THE CBD MARKET IS GROWING
