Join Barack Ferrazzano's Financial Institutions Group partner and Regulatory Section Leader John M. Geiringer at the Illinois Bankers Association's (IBA) event entitled, Illinois Approves Recreational Marijuana: Banking Marijuana-Related Businesses. This is a timely and informative event for bank presidents and CEOs, directors, legal counsel, chief risk officers, compliance officers, and other personnel who may be involved with cannabis-related businesses.
More than 30 states, including Illinois, have legalized the use of marijuana to some degree. Yet the possession, distribution or sale of marijuana remains illegal under federal law, so very few financial institutions are willing to accept the risks associated with banking marijuana-related businesses, including the potential loss of their federal deposit insurance, charter, or both. With the legalization of recreational cannabis use in Illinois, what course of action should a bank pursue? Learn the regulatory perspective, supervisory expectations, and best practices associated with providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses, as well as approaches that exceed regulatory expectations to help banks responsibly service this burgeoning industry.
