Description

The cannabis industry offers a unique opportunity for banks and credit unions to participate in a new line of business, create new revenue, and provide a vital service to the community. However, the complex legal and regulatory environment for cannabis banking can be a challenge for financial institutions. Until there is federal reform on cannabis, states will continue to implement their own unique rules and regulations on how they structure their programs. 

This free webinar, moderated by John Geiringer, partner at BFKN and former legal counsel for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, will feature a discussion with Robert Jefferies, senior examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and other banking regulators.

 Join us live from Shield’s annual client event to: 

  • Hear directly from state banking regulators about their views on banking the cannabis industry.
  • Understand what regulators are looking for in a compliant cannabis banking program.
  • Gain best practices for creating an open and transparent working relationship with regulators. 


Please register for this FREE webinar today to gain valuable insights into banking this evolving industry.
