Our clients are sophisticated cannabis bankers who see a clear differentiation in the quality of our platform and services.”

Shield Compliance expanded its new client footprint in Maine, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Puerto Rico, touting the benefits of Shield Assure for daily monitoring and reporting and Shield Engage, which is used for client application processing, underwriting, and onboarding.

Shield offers the reliability and flexibility required to serve these customers effectively.”
