Why are CBD friendly merchant accounts hard to find?
As you should be aware, CBD is taken from Hemp which is part of the Cannabis family of plants. Cannabis is seen as an illegal and holds years of stigma based on the effects of THC, a psychoactive compound found in cannabis. While CBD has been legal since 2016, THC still remains illegal. Partly due to the illegality of some aspects of cannabis, CBD is still considered a ‘high risk’ product & industry, and some payment gateways/ banks are not comfortable with providing their services.
To add to this, there are some merchant accounts who do accept payment for ‘high risk’ industries, however they charge over the odds for the privilege. Obviously, there is a reason why these payment gateways are more expensive, but some are taking the biscuit. You need a CBD friendly payment gateway that charges a reasonable price.
