Operating a marijuana dispensary in Vermont comes with a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to establishing traditional merchant account services for processing debit and credit card payments. Since 2011, The Transaction Group (TTG) has been dedicated to tackling these hurdles by providing specialized payment solutions tailored for the cannabis industry.

Through a  partnership with a banking services provider, TTG has been offering a credit card processing system that caters specifically to cannabis dispensaries in states like Vermont. This system allows these businesses to efficiently accept debit and credit card payments, as well as digital wallet options like Apple Pay and Google Pay. We understand that it is challenging and risky to operate as a cash-only business and our goal is to ensure that cannabis businesses have a seamless and secure way to manage their payment processing needs.

For both customers and dispensary owners, our payment solution provides a wide range of advantages. Customers appreciate the convenience and security of not needing to carry large amounts of cash or make trips to the ATM before visiting a dispensary. At the point of sale, customers pay a small convenience fee in exchange for a secure, quick, and efficient transaction that enhances their overall shopping experience.

On the other hand, marijuana dispensary owners in Vermont benefit significantly from our solution. One of the main advantages is that our system eliminates the high fees commonly associated with traditional merchant accounts, resulting in considerable monthly savings. These savings can add up to thousands of dollars over time. Additionally, customers who use cards tend to spend more per transaction, which can help dispensaries boost their sales revenue. With less cash on hand, businesses can also improve their overall security and reduce the risk of handling large sums of money.

We’ve made the onboarding process simple and quick to make it as hassle-free as possible. Our approval process requires minimal documentation, and nearly any cannabis business in the United States can get approved and start accepting debit and credit card payments within just one week.

Once approved, we ship the encrypted payment processing equipment express mail. Setting up the system is simple—just unpack the equipment, plug it in, and connect it to a computer network. There’s no need for complicated installations, which makes it an easy set up for any employee business owner.

Here are some of the key benefits our solution offers:

• Acceptance of all major credit and debit cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay
• Zero processing fees for the dispensary
• No holdbacks or reserves
• Comprehensive online reporting tools
• Fast settlement times, typically within 3-5 business days
