Findmypot.com has learned that TCF Bank will no longer accept medical marijuana dispensaries as bank customers and will close all dispensary accounts. Dispensary bank customers will be notified to close their account within 30 days. We called the Denver branch of TCF Bank and an employee disclosed that due to the â??large currency transactions involved with medical marijuana dispensaries, they would no longer continue to open new accounts and will close existing accounts. This issues seems to involve the bank secrecy act and cash transactions.
We believe that TCF Bank was the only bank in Colorado allowing medical marijuana business. Findmypot.com will let you know if any Credit Unions or other financial institutions will allow mmj business accounts.
Findmypot.com believes this will become a major problem for the medical marijuana industry. Therefore, we have placed a phone call to the Colorado Banking Commissioner who will research this issue and let us know what alternatives might be available.
Please check back with us as we will update this information frequently.
