It’s been over a decade since the 2014 FinCEN Marijuana-Related Business (MRB) Guidance was released, but for many financial institutions, confusion still reigns about what’s actually required to bank cannabis businesses successfully. Too often, institutions over-engineer their programs out of fear rather than clarity, creating inefficiency, burnout, and unnecessary barriers to growth.
In this session, Kristin Parker, CAMS and SVP of Compliance & Operations at RiskScout, breaks down what the guidance really says (and doesn’t say) to help financial institutions refocus on what matters most. You’ll learn how to design a program that’s compliant, examiner-ready, and scalable, all without drowning your team in manual work or unrealistic controls.
Attendees will walk away knowing how to:
Interpret the 2014 MRB Guidance for modern compliance programs
Avoid overcomplication that leads to inefficiency and audit fatigue
Align regulatory expectations with operational reality
Build scalable, sustainable cannabis banking programs that grow with your institution
BONUS: Attendees will get the free downloadable “New & Growing Cannabis BankingPrograms: Critical Considerations and Why They Matter” to take home!
