About
A payments team that works on cannabis accounts only
Cannabis Pay Hub is a payments specialist for United States cannabis, CBD and hemp businesses. We help operators understand which payment methods are realistically available to them, what underwriting will ask for, and what to do when an account is held, restricted or terminated.

Who we work with
- Dispensaries and multi-site cannabis retailers
- Delivery operators where delivery is licensed
- CBD and hemp brands, including e-commerce
- Cultivation, processing and distribution
- Ancillary businesses serving the industry
Most conversations start in one of three places: a new license that needs a payment setup, an existing setup that costs too much or breaks at the counter, or an account that was just shut down.
How we work
Advisory work with an operational finish
We review how money moves through the business today, explain the categories of solution that apply to that license type and product mix, prepare the underwriting file, and stay with it after go-live.
We start with your statements
Current statements, processor correspondence and point-of-sale setup come first — not a generic quote. You get a written breakdown of where cost and risk actually sit today.
Recommendations in writing
Every option we put forward includes its trade-offs and failure modes, who the counterparties are, and what each one underwrites. Nothing is presented as a certainty.
Through implementation
Payment method selection, underwriting preparation and integration planning are one piece of work. We stay involved through go-live, first settlement and first reconciliation.
When something breaks
Declines, holds, reserve changes and terminations are handled as active response work: what the notice actually means, what can be recovered, and what the realistic next setup looks like.
The people behind it
The roles on every account
Every account is worked by the same four functions. We publish named profiles, photographs and experience only once the individual has agreed to be named and their background has been verified — so these cards describe the role, not an invented person.

- Source verification and last-reviewed dates
- Removing claims that cannot be supported
Named profiles with photographs and verified experience are added as each specialist agrees to be listed.
Our standard
What we do not claim
The cannabis payments market is full of promises that cannot be kept. To keep this site useful, we hold ourselves to a written standard about what we will and will not say.
Real client results will be published as approvals are received and each operator confirms in writing what we may share.
- No guaranteed approval, guaranteed compliance, or guaranteed account longevity.
- No claim that Visa or Mastercard credit acceptance is available for plant-touching cannabis sales.
- No named banking relationships, sponsor banks or processor partnerships published without written permission.
- No approval rates, customer counts, processing volumes, certifications or awards published without verification.
- No customer testimonials, reviews or case studies presented as real until they are confirmed by the client in writing.
Talk to a specialist
If you already have statements or a termination notice, sending them ahead of the call makes the first conversation far more concrete.
