We work with you on the right solution for your business, get you set up correctly from day one, and stay accountable as regulations and banking conditions evolve.

Why operators stay with BIG.

01

Working in cannabis since 2006

We've been with cannabis and cannabis-adjacent businesses since 2006 — long before dispensary payments were a mainstream conversation. We understand the regulatory patchwork, the banking relationships, and the operational realities of running a dispensary.

02

No workarounds, no surprises

We don't sell payment methods that disappear without warning. Every method we set up is documented, compliant with card network rules, and supported by a team that works these rails every day.

03

You hear it from us first

When a solution works, we tell you exactly how. When something changes, you hear it from us first — not from a sudden account termination notice.

Highly recommend—professional, kind, easy to work with.

I'm very happy and satisfied with the service and platform. I've always had someone I can reach out to directly whenever I have questions, and they're always quick to help and follow up. On top of that, they regularly check in just to see how things are going, which I really appreciate. Their pricing is fair, and overall, they're incredibly professional, kind, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

A great help to our canna business.

We have been using Bankcard PIN Debit system for 1 year now and it has been a great help to our canna business. Not only by significantly reducing the amount of cash handling but also by boosting our ADS, and on top of this they have a fast responding help team. Thanks Shane and team.
