modern financial/payment options
Although more than 30 states have legalized cannabis use in
some form, the majority of businesses in the field are having a hard time
gaining access to banking services, leading to the emergence of specialized
ancillary services to fill this gap. Dama Financial, a San Francisco-based private company, is
one of these service providers, aiming to provide secure online and
mobile-friendly banking services to cannabis-related businesses through its
bank partners. Dama administers the provision of such solutions as an agent of
its partnering financial institutions.
Founded by financial and payment industry veterans, the
company is driven by a passion for innovation and solving complex business
problems, ensuring value for its stakeholders.
Operating a cash-based business can be challenging due to
various risks. These challenges are even more pronounced in the cannabis field
due to the limited availability of financial services. Dama believes that
reputable cannabis-related businesses deserve the same range of financial
services as more traditional companies.
Dama Financial can help cannabis-related businesses create a
safe environment for their employees and customers by reducing cash on hand,
enabling them to pay their vendors and employees either electronically or by
check, receive fund transfers effortlessly and ultimately run the business more
efficiently and scalable.
Dama Financial engages in comprehensive due diligence
process following the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) guidelines associated with the
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). All of the information provided in a funding
application is verified, and an onsite visit to the company’s primary address
is conducted to confirm the licensed business.
Once the application is processed and approved, the
cannabis-related business will receive financing through one of Dama’s bank partners.
Dama Financial will manage the delivery of the service on behalf of the bank
partner.
In essence, Dama Financial provides turnkey services that
are specifically created for the needs of the cannabis industry. Dama’s
customers have access to a secure armored cash pickup and deposit service, a
secure online account center that’s available 24/7 for the electronic transfer
of funds to and from approved partners, real-time transaction alerts by phone
or email and access to the services of a dedicated relationship manager.
Cannabis businesses applying for a Dama account need to have
a current state-issued cannabis license. Cannabis licenses are not required for
ancillary businesses.
Regardless of the fact that cannabis business legalization
is advancing, companies in the field are still facing financing issues (http://ibn.fm/ctLlR). Cannabis
remains illegal under federal law and banks are often reluctant to work with
industry representatives. Current research suggests that only one in 30 banks
or credit unions across the U.S. will accept a cannabis company as a customer.
Even in such instances, cannabis-related businesses are charged hefty fees for
the financial services being provided.
This is the primary reason why the services provided by Dama
Financial are so important and could help promising cannabis enterprises
succeed by providing them with the financial and banking tools needed to fund
their growth and development.
