Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee says banking for the cannabis industry is “quandary that we have to solve” and “we’ll get to a solution.” 👇
“There's something called the the Safe Banking Act, which is to allow for the banking question to be solved by making it legal to bank it.
You don't want us to have situation where you have these cash rooms, where you have hundreds of thousands of dollars of cash sitting in a location. Everyone knows you can't bank it, and therefore, the criminal activity is much higher in these places. So there is a quandary that we have to solve. I think we'll get to a solution.”
