A small CBD business is losing its payment processor (Square) due to industry restrictions and must either find a compliant, affordable replacement or revert to cash/check only, harming revenue.
Existing CBD-friendly payment processors are perceived as shady and more expensive than Square, and mainstream processors like Square are shutting down CBD accounts due to regulatory pressure.
