The State of CBD Payment Processing in 2025

The CBD industry has grown exponentially, but payment processing remains a challenge. Despite federal legalization of hemp-derived CBD, many banks still treat it as high-risk.

1. Banking Hesitancy - Many banks still avoid cannabis-adjacent businesses

2. Processor Shutdowns - Accounts can be terminated without warning

3. High Fees - Limited options mean less competition

4. Reserve Requirements - Large holds on your funds
