Title: Is it Possible to Bank MRBs, and What are the Rules?

With the recent passage of marijuana within the state, banks are trying to determine how or if to bank these customers.  There is plenty to consider when looking at these customers.  In this session we will discuss the rules (or lack thereof), potential risks, and examiner expectations.  Banking these customers can be profitable if done the right way, but requires enhancements to the BSA program and continued monitoring.  The session will also discuss what other banks have done in states where similar laws are in place and what you can or cannot do.  

Key Takeaways:
-  Is it possible to bank MRBs, and what are the rules
-  What are the risks for banking MRBs
-  Can we jump into banking MRBs right away
-  What do the regulators expect from us regarding MRBs
