The American Banker published a piece by Alison Jimenez and Steven Kemmerling. Jimenez is president and founder of Dynamic Securities Analytics Inc., an anti-money-laundering consulting firm, and Kemmerling is CEO and founder of MRB Monitor, which  helps financial institutions mitigate risk related to the marijuana industry with a comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use marijuana-related business database.  The duo discussed five myths about banking the cannabis industry:

• MRBs Are Cash-Only Businesses
• MRBs Do Not Have Bank Accounts
• All Banks Treat MRBs the Same
• States Without Legalization Have Zero Ties to MRBs
• Depositories Are the Only Type of Financial Institution with an MRB Dilemma
