Green Check

Greetings from the IgniteIt Cannabis Capital & Policy Summit! Green Check CEO Kevin Hart had the privilege of meeting with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) to discuss how we’re empowering the legal cannabis industry in New Jersey and across the country. This year’s Summit brought together leading voices focused on expanding institutional investment in the cannabis industry, increasing access to capital, and advancing federal cannabis banking reform. Inspiring to see so many influential leaders aligned on the issues that matter most to our industry.

Congress recently passed a pivotal appropriation bill that redefines #hemp under federal law — and the impact could be huge. Green Check’s latest blog post breaks down what this means for the industry, and why the next 12 months are critical. https://lnkd.in/ebdQRieW #cannabisbanking #hempindustry #cannabiscompliance #HR5371

We’re proud to see Green Check’s work featured in this recent story highlighting our partnership with RiverBank, and how together we’re helping financial institutions safely and confidently serve cannabis-related businesses. As Green Check CEO Kevin Hart shared in the piece: “It’s about the exchange of data, and then it’s the ongoing monitoring of the cannabis business to make sure that they’re operating under the rules and regulations for their license by geography, by product type. That’s where Green Check comes in. So we’re verifying that activity, but then RiverBank gets to be the deposit bank and offer financial services for those cannabis businesses.” The article captures the heart of what drives our work: building a stronger, more transparent financial ecosystem for the cannabis industry through partnerships with forward-thinking institutions like RiverBank. https://lnkd.in/gWZT7uKE #CannabisBanking #FinancialInclusion #GreenCheckVerified #Partnership #Compliance

Federal reform is coming but clarity won’t come easy. In a recent Forbes article by industry expert Robert Hoban, Green Check was highlighted among the platforms shaping the “trust infrastructure” of the future cannabis economy. As the article outlines, whether cannabis is rescheduled or de-scheduled, one truth stands out: 👉 The winners will be the ones who build compliance, transparency, and trust into every transaction.

Women are reshaping what leadership looks like in cannabis finance, with empathy, grit, and a clear vision for a more equitable future. In her new piece for Cannabis & Tech Today, “How Women are Rewriting the Rules of Cannabis Finance,” Stacy Litke shares her personal journey from traditional banking to cannabis finance and the pivotal moment that made her choose purpose over profit. It’s a powerful reflection on: ✅ Finding voice in male-dominated spaces ✅ Redefining leadership through authenticity and empathy ✅ Building systems that balance profit with purpose ✅ Creating opportunities where women lead, not just participate “I didn’t want to be part of a system where money always mattered more than people. At Green Check, I found a way to build something rooted in access, equity, and human dignity.” Read the full story in the comments below. #WomenInFinance #CannabisBanking #Leadership #Equity #GreenCheck #TrustedCommerce
