About the Banking Industry's FIRST
Cannabis Banking Professional Certification Program

715 banks and credit unions serve the U.S. cannabis industry and every state has at least one financial institution that serves cannabis businesses, based on FinCen. However, industry experts agree that EVERY bank has exposure and risk when they accept transactions from customers who might be associated directly or indirectly with the cannabis industry.

The Cannabis Banking Professional Certification (CBP) focuses on the unique challenges and regulatory considerations for banking cannabis-related businesses. This course is specifically designed to assist employees from front-line Tellers to support operations, risk and compliance professionals in understanding, identifying and correctly handling these activities. Even your Board of Directors needs to understand the implications of banking cannabis, even if you do NOT bank cannabis today!
