Full text copy of the Department of Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) guidance clarifying the Bank Secrecy Act expectations for financial institutions seeking to provide banking services to marijuana-related businesses. From the guidance:

"FinCEN is issuing this guidance in light of recent state initiatives to legalize certain marijuana-related activity and related guidance by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning marijuana-related enforcement priorities. This FinCEN guidance clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their BSA obligations, and aligns the information provided by financial institutions in BSA reports with federal and state law enforcement priorities. This FinCEN guidance should enhance the availability of financial services for, and the financial transparency of, marijuana-related businesses."
