InterceptEFT's Policy on Marijuana
It is InterceptEFT's policy not to provide services, including payroll processing, to businesses in the illegal narcotics and drug paraphernalia industries. Although some states have made it legal to sell marijuana in certain situations, including medical marijuana, our policy has not changed.
InterceptEFT will not process payments for any business that distributes marijuana, even medical marijuana or marijuana that is legal under state law. If you have any questions, please contact the InterceptEFT Risk Department.
