CBD and hemp businesses are turned away by standard processors before they even get started. A dedicated merchant account, proper underwriting, and a compliant payment gateway built for the cannabis space is what actually keeps your business running long term.
Why CBD Businesses Cannot Rely on Standard Processors
The CBD and hemp industry sits in a category most processors will not touch. Banks pull out without notice, accounts get terminated mid-processing, and compliant businesses get caught in the same net as bad actors simply because of their product category.
Mercuria Payments works specifically with CBD and hemp merchants. Every account goes through proper underwriting so you are matched with a banking partner that understands your industry and supports it long term, not one that approves you today and reviews you out of business six months from now.

Is CBD processing legal in the USA?
Hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Mercuria Payments works with compliant CBD and hemp businesses across the USA.

Yes. Mercuria Payments connects with 500-plus platforms. Your store stays exactly as it is and we handle the payment side without any rebuild required.
