Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) on August 28th announced that, "It will incorporate bitcoin as a payment method for retail and wholesale customers in the cannabis industry. In providing a solution for the logistical headaches and constant security threats to cannabis businesses, Global Payout's majority owned MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. ('MTRAC') subsidiary will leverage its virtual financial wallet technology to eliminate cash payments for cannabis at retail stores.
Because marijuana is illegal on a federal level in the United States, the industry is largely underbanked. As a result, most cannabis companies and dispensaries lack an electronic method to complete secure payments, instead of conducting all-cash transactions. This environment creates significant challenges in terms of accounting, cash management storage, and safety. Global Payout recognizes bitcoin as the quickest, safest and most reliable way to fill this void and help cannabis companies more efficiently conduct their business."
"Since there is an inability to access commercial banks for merchant bank accounts, we feel it is imperative to focus on currency alternatives such as bitcoin to service cannabis industry transactions. Furthermore, our payment system is completely ready for use. It will not require a great deal of time or money to incorporate bitcoin into the equation," says Global Payout Founder and CEO, Jim Hancock.
Joe Sebo, CFO of Global Payout adds, "Everyone in the payment processing world is racing to provide the cannabis industry with a cashless alternative using bitcoin technology, and the companies that accomplish this task will realize incredible profits. I believe Global Payout is one of those companies."
