The Best Solution For
CBD Merchant Accounts

Finding a CBD merchant account and payment processor can be difficult. This is due largely to the amount of regulation from national and local governments and card brands. They see CBD credit card transactions as risky, and all companies selling CBD as high-risk merchants. 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 many great merchants are doing their part to help. We want to help you get a CBD merchant account and get your business processing payments for your CBD products! We are a CBD merchant processing company that knows 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.

Your Business Needs CBD
Merchant Account Stability

Getting approved for a CBD merchant account with any payment processor 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 credit card payments and they realize you are selling CBD products. 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. You need a payment processing company that specializes in working with CBD companies.

That's where we come in! We aren't a typical payment processor. We have worked with CBD merchants for years, and understand your unique needs. 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 ensure your account is always able to process payments! With us, your CBD payment processing will be one less thing you have to worry about.
