ABOUT EMC

What is the Emerging Markets Coalition?

EMC is a member driven 501c3 for advocacy and education on behalf of its Members – financial services (FS) companies serving cannabis related industries. EMC drives progress to normalize FS – across the 3-legged stool of: government, cannabis, and FS industries. This draws in more FS companies, making FS more widely available, with a broader/deeper set of compliant competitive offerings.

EMC is led by the Executive Council – FS companies who collectively serve 90% of US cannabis businesses and 85% of the US financial institutions actively serving this industry. This gives EMC great reach, vision, influence, and impact to this emerging and growing market.

EMC is informed by the cannabis industry via the Advisory Council – those who provide compliance, accounting, legal, and business support to their 1000s of cannabis clients. They are not Members of EMC – rather act as a sounding board and advisory to Members in product design & delivery, and in referrals to EMC Members for financial services
