Why Should Pennsylvania Financial Institutions Use CanPay?

Pennsylvania financial institutions can use CanPay as a safe debit network that enables electronic payments between consumers and retailers in highly-regulated and emerging markets, such as the State Regulated Cannabis Industry. Merchants with a compliant bank account at a CanPay approved bank can join the CanPay network and accept debit payments from their customers. The Closed-Banking Feedback Loop ensures that only cannabis retailers that work with banks that follow the Cole Memo and FinCEN Guidance can participate in the CanPay network. CanPay uses feedback from these banks to verify that only legal transactions from licensed and compliant retailers are processed through the network. If a merchant loses their bank account with the bank for any reason, they also lose access to the CanPay network. Besides this feedback from the bank, CanPay’s ODFI also has a strong compliance program based on the Cole Memo and FinCEN Guidance.
