Closed-loop payment infrastructure designed for state-licensed cannabis businesses seeking stability beyond conventional card networks.

Recommended architecture: Reserve

Infrastructure should reflect the industry

Payment eligibility cannot be determined by an industry label alone. The correct architecture depends upon the merchant's exact products or services, jurisdiction, claims, licensing, banking relationships, and transaction workflow.

Payments.Exchange applies a structured qualification process before recommending implementation.
