📣 ICYMI!

On Wednesday, July 29, California State Treasurer Fiona Ma convened government officials, financial institutions, regulators, labor representatives, business owners and cannabis industry leaders for Continuing the Conversation: Advancing Safe and Legal Banking for California’s Cannabis Industry.

The forum examined the persistent banking challenges facing California’s legal cannabis market, including limited access to conventional banking, lending and payment services. Participants discussed how these barriers can increase operating costs, complicate tax and regulatory compliance and create additional public safety concerns.

The four panels included The Current Landscape: A Decade Later; Banking, Compliance & Financial Innovation; Government Operations, Public Safety & Tax Administration; and Industry Perspectives & The Road Ahead.
