Cannabis operations face banking restrictions and regulatory scrutiny. Federal Armored provides secured, compliant cash handling that legitimizes your operation — with documentation built for Michigan CRA and banking partner review.

Yes — directly. We are not a national carrier afraid of cannabis exposure. We pick up from your dispensary back-of-house, vault the cash at our facility, and route it to your banking partner under full CRA-aligned chain of custody. Onboarding is same-week, not a 90-day procurement cycle.
We can hold cash in our segregated cannabis vault with full audit-ready documentation while you finalize your MRB banking relationship. We have working relationships with several Michigan credit unions and community banks that accept cannabis operators and can make introductions.
Every pickup generates a sealed-bag record with bag seal numbers, declared amounts, crew identities, pickup time, vault entry/exit logs, count reconciliation, and final transfer paperwork. The full record is delivered electronically and retained through your regulatory window — suitable for CRA inspection, banking-partner review, and FinCEN SAR support.
Yes. Three Michigan terminals (Flint, Grand Rapids, Traverse City) give us same-day routing across the Lower Peninsula. We coordinate pickup windows with your end-of-day cash flow and banking partner deposit cutoffs so cash does not sit overnight unnecessarily.
You call (810) 820-8169 and a person answers. Same-day emergency dispatch is built into the service model — not a tiered upcharge. Holiday volumes, 4/20 surges, and unexpected high-traffic days are routine. No contract amendment required.
Cannabis businesses require compliance-grade infrastructure. Federal Armored provides auditable, secured, regulatory-ready cash transport backed by Lloyd’s of London.
Smart safes, CIT, vaulting, ATM management, cash processing — the complete operation.
