We are pleased to offer the latest episode in Ballard Spahr’s Consumer Financial Monitor Podcast series — a weekly podcast focusing on the consumer finance issues that matter most, from new product development and emerging technologies to regulatory compliance and enforcement and the ramifications of private litigation.

In this podcast, we review the many recent developments dealing with the provision of financial services to the cannabis industry, including state approaches to banking services, the status of hemp legalization, the interplay between federal and state cannabis law, FinCEN guidance on Bank Secrecy Act expectations, the status of federal regulatory and enforcement activity, and the status and prospects of proposed federal legislation.  This podcast relates to our many blog posts on financial services and the cannabis industry, including our latest post on two proposed cannabis reform efforts, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 and the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment through Entrusting States Act.

We hope that you enjoy the podcast, moderated by our partner Alan Kaplinksy, and find it useful.
