We are aware of free sample policies from Sterling Compliance on banking marijuana and cannabis businesses. The Compliance Alliance also has a policy on banking marijuana-related or cannabis businesses available to its members. We also will make a request to our Compliance Division Advisory Committee for sample MRB policies and will send you any submissions we receive.

Additionally, we have included a link in our resources to an upcoming webinar on January 9, 2020, that will cover writing marijuana policies and procedures.
