## Resource

Blunt Business discusses the evolving landscape of cannabis banking, where Kevin Hart (CEO of Green Check Verified ) explained that financial institutions are increasingly engaging with the sector, driven by data transparency, robust compliance standards, and the realization that there is no codified rule preventing them from doing so. Hart details that Green Check Verified facilitates banking by providing compliance data to financial institutions, enabling services beyond deposit accounts, and anticipated that the potential reclassification of cannabis to Schedule 3 will unlock traditional banking services, reduce capital costs, and attract major players from other industries.
