Why Should Massachusetts Financial Institutions Use CanPay?
Massachusetts financial institutions can use CanPay as a safe debit network that enables electronic payments between consumers and retailers in highly-regulated and emerging markets, such as the State Regulated Cannabis Industry. Merchants with a compliant bank account at a CanPay approved bank can join the CanPay network and accept debit payments from their customers. The Closed-Banking Feedback Loop ensures that only cannabis retailers that work with banks that follow the Cole Memo and FinCEN Guidance can participate in the CanPay network. CanPay uses feedback from these banks to verify that only legal transactions from licensed and compliant retailers are processed through the network. If a merchant loses their bank account with the bank for any reason, they also lose access to the CanPay network. Besides this feedback from the bank, CanPay’s ODFI also has a strong compliance program based on the Cole Memo and FinCEN Guidance.

About Massachusetts
Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States. It borders the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Maine to its east, Connecticut and Rhode Island to its south, New Hampshire and Vermont to its north, and New York to its west. Massachusetts is the sixth-smallest state by land area. With over seven million residents as of 2020, it is the most populous state in New England, the 16th-most-populous in the country, and the third-most densely populated, after New Jersey and Rhode Island. Massachusetts was a site of early English colonization. The Plymouth Colony was founded in 1620 by the Pilgrims of the Mayflower. In 1630, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, taking its name from the Indigenous Massachusett people, also established settlements in Boston and Salem. In 1692, the town of Salem and surrounding areas experienced one of America’s most infamous cases of mass hysteria, the Salem witch trials. In the late 18th century, Boston became known as the “Cradle of Liberty” for the agitation there that later led to the American Revolution. In 1777, General Henry Knox founded the Springfield Armory, which, during the Industrial Revolution, catalyzed numerous important technological advances, including interchangeable parts. In 1786, Shays’ Rebellion, a populist revolt led by disaffected American Revolutionary War veterans, influenced the United States Constitutional Convention. In the 18th century, the Protestant First Great Awakening, which swept Britain and the Thirteen Colonies, originated from the pulpit of Northampton preacher Jonathan Edwards.
