A merchant processing program specifically designed for cannabis dispensaries and delivery services.
With Empirical's fully compliant merchant processing program, your cannabis business will have 100% transparency with your bank and operate like any other business.

True Pin Debit Merchant Processing vs. Cashless ATMs
The Pin Debit Merchant processing may seem similar to the cashless ATMs that dispensaries often use as a workaround, but they are very different. For starters, the bank sees cashless ATM transactions as regular ATM transactions, but in reality, they are just normal debit card swipes. Out-of-network fees are usually $3 for your customers. Pin Debit accounts let you take payments electronically without paying these bank fees.
Empirical offers a compliant and transparent merchant processing system, making cashless ATMs obsolete. These are some of the key differences:
-
Sales are for the exact dollar amount of the purchase
-
The customer does not pay a convenience fee
-
100% transparent – full acquiring bank disclosure
-
No cash handling
-
Frictionless checkout process
-
Seamless transition to credit cards when federal change allows
-
No contracts
-
No early termination fees
-
True DBA and business address on descriptor and receipts
-
Fully transparent bank-approved cannabis program
-
No Convenience fee or out-of-network fee
-
Acquiring bank not disclosed in most cases
-
Budtenders don't need to provide change
-
Sales, on average, increase by 25-80% versus cash
