Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) expanded its payments solutions portfolio on Jan 27, 2026 by adding partnerships with Lüt and Greencard. The additions aim to increase payment flexibility, redundancy, and business continuity for regulated cannabis and hemp operators by covering ACH debit, cashless ATM, and closed-loop wallet payments. Lüt provides a pre-funded, closed-loop wallet with loyalty and staff-incentive features to reduce downtime risk. Greencard unifies retail, delivery, e-commerce, and wholesale payments and converts 14-day check cycles into next-day ACH settlement with real-time reporting. The move complements existing partners like CanPay, Vector Payments, and GreenLink Merchants and follows recent launches of insurance and payroll services.
Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) announced on January 14, 2026 that it is expanding client offerings to include cannabis-specific insurance solutions through strategic partnerships with Frontier Risk and AlphaRoot. The insurance products — including property, workers compensation, general liability, product liability and other risk management solutions — will be delivered via the Safe Harbor Advantage Partner Network. The move is intended to create a complementary revenue stream, deepen client relationships, and broaden the company’s fintech-driven ecosystem for regulated cannabis and hemp operators.
Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) announced two senior hires on Dec. 30, 2025: Stephen La Rosa as Senior Vice President, Lending Strategy and Partner Development, and Cassandra Douglass as Senior Manager, Client Experience and Onboarding. The additions aim to expand the company's lending platform, broaden capital channels (private equity, family offices, institutional partners), and scale compliant onboarding and client relationship capabilities for regulated cannabis and hemp operators.
The hires emphasize stronger lending strategy, partner development, compliance, and operational consistency across the client lifecycle.
Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) announced the hiring of 420 IT Solutions founders Frank A. Salluce and David Smokler and the integration of 420 IT Solutions’ operating assets and active client contracts into Safe Harbor’s Consulting and Managed Services division on Dec. 23, 2025. The deal adds immediate revenue, cannabis-focused consulting capabilities, and industry relationships, while the founders will lead expansion efforts. Consideration is fully performance-based: up to 125,000 shares issuable only if Safe Harbor achieves incremental revenue milestones of $5 million in 2026 or $6 million in 2027.
Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ: SHFS) said the federal rescheduling of cannabis is a meaningful policy shift that should strengthen cannabis operators, reduce industry attrition, and attract broader financial institution participation.
The company expects improved operator cash flow from the elimination of Section 280E to increase deposit stability, lower client turnover, and expand the addressable market for its fully managed banking platform while cautioning that rescheduling alone does not replace durable banking protections like passage of the SAFER Banking Act.
Safe Harbor Financial (OTC:SHFS) said it is positioned to benefit if federal cannabis rescheduling and the SAFER Banking Act advance in Congress. The announcement, dated December 18, 2025, frames the company as potentially gaining from reduced federal barriers and expanded banking access for cannabis businesses.
This is a forward-looking strategic positioning statement; it does not provide financial guidance, transaction details, or quantified impacts on revenue or capital.
Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) announced that payroll-service provider Canopy HR selected Safe Harbor to support nearly all of its cannabis payroll banking operations and that Safe Harbor is launching Payroll Boost, a cashflow solution that lets operators keep payroll-related funds in their accounts for up to two additional days each payroll cycle. Payroll Boost requires a Safe Harbor commercial banking account and leverages payroll-provider data to scale onboarding.
The deal and new feature are positioned to drive deposit growth, payment activity, and long-term revenue through Canopy HR client conversions and direct marketing to cannabis operators.
Safe Harbor (NASDAQ: SHFS) launched the cannabis industry’s first comprehensive financial solutions platform on November 17, 2025, expanding beyond its compliant banking program to add lending, operational services, and strategic finance.
