What Our Clients Say
Banking with Abaca has made issuing and receiving payments easy with options for old school and electronic payments. Receiving payments from dispensaries and paying our vendors is so easy.
You would think ancillary businesses in the cannabis industry would have an easier time getting a bank account, but that is not the case. Abaca has enabled our testing lab to access traditional banking. Abaca enables my cultivator customers to pay electronically, and not with cash. We love their web interface.
The folks at Abaca are always quick to help us solve our payment issues and provide assistance to improve our process.
Go Back to Taking Your Bank Account for Granted
Access to cannabis-friendly modern banking shouldn’t be so hard to come by for small businesses. Especially since reliable banking can unlock a multitude of other benefits that keep costs down and profits up – like electronic payments, secure transactions and access to loans.
As a business owner, you have plenty to juggle. These financial products don’t have to be another chore.
Store your hard-earned money and pay your employees or suppliers simply – just like any other business.
