Cannabis Banking Moves Closer to Finish Line

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:38:31 GMT

The decade-long saga of legal cannabis businesses having access to legitimate financial services may come to an end as a key Senate committee passed The SAFER Banking Act earlier this week. The bill is the Senate’s answer to The SAFER Banking Act first passed by the House. It was passed by the House in various forms during the 116th Congress and the 117th Congress.The new SAFER Banking Act is being spearheaded by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Steve Daines (R-MT). They have heavy support from the Senate leadership. That’s likely one of the reasons the chains have moved further than ever toward the end goal. This is the biggest first down that activists in support of the issue have ever seen. Now they prepare for the bill to reach a floor vote with a lot of positivity in the air. From there it would be back to the House, hopefully by the end of the year according to one congressional insider with knowledge of the bill. There the House would likely make its own tweaks, pass it, and ...
