AML Conversations: The Major Challenges of Banking Marijuana Businesses

Written by AML RightSource | October 22, 2018

Welcome to this episode of our podcast series, AML Conversations.

In this edition of AML Conversations, AML RightSource Vice Chairman, John Byrne, talks with Steven Kemmerling. Steven is the CEO and Founder of CRB Monitor, a company that doesn’t support or oppose the banking of marijuana customers, but provides information so that institutions can make more informed decisions on whether or not their account holders are directly or indirectly managing products or businesses that have something to do with the sale of or with the enabling of the sale of marijuana. This conversation delves into the major challenges of banking marijuana businesses with the federal and state conflicts that still exist. Review the FinCEN guidance on marijuana related businesses here.
