Thursday, December 17, 2020 1PM EST | 60 Minutes
2020 has been a notable year for many obvious reasons. While things are far from “business as usual,” it’s still important to look back at all the progress that was made this year on compliant, accessible cannabis banking. Moreover, as an industry we need to be prepared for what 2021 has in store – both in terms of opportunities and risks.
Green Check co-founders Mike Kennedy and Paul Dunford will sit down to cap off a year of cannabis banking 101 by talking through the highlights of their experience supporting banks and credit unions across the country. Join Mike and Paul to hear their key takeaways from 2020, along with the advice they have for institutions looking to develop or grow a cannabis program in 2021, as well as:
