In an effort to assist financial institutions across the nation to scale their cannabis banking programs, Green Check significantly expanded its partnerships in 2023. New partners include Affinity, New Jersey’s largest credit union, Tasi Bank, Illinois-based Credit Union 1, and Main Street Bank.

Green Check also launched Green Check Access, a unified cannabis API, in the fall of 2023. This offering provides a suite of integrations and normalized data, unlocking actionable insights for the cannabis industry while enabling CannaTech and Multi-State Operators (MSOs) to create more customized experiences for their customers.
