Because many CRBs have historically operated on a largely cash basis due to limited access to traditional banking services, SHF’s platform benefits both CRBs and financial institutions. CRBs gain access to compliant banking services, while financial institutions gain access to a validated, compliantly monitored deposit base.

The Company generates revenue primarily from compliance service fees, account based fee income, investment income on custodied deposits, and interest income on loans made to or on behalf of financial institutions serving the cannabis industry.
