KIND Financial is an American company focused on providing financial technology services for the cannabis industry.
In 2013, David Dinenberg founded Kind Banking to be the "Wells Fargo of the marijuana banking industry" before changing the name of the company to Kind Financial in late 2014. Dinenberg also serves as CEO of KIND, which has its headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
KIND's technology platform seeks to provide tools focused on cannabis tracking and compliance for cultivators, dispensaries, and regulatory agencies in the cannabis industry. These tools are said to manage the entire cannabis business life-cycle and keep transactions safe, secure and compliant with rules, regulations, laws and guidelines with the federal guidelines set forth by FinCEN.
KIND's seed-to-sale tracking and compliance platform, Agrisoft Seed to Sale, integrates with KIND's cash-management and order-taking kiosk as well as KIND Pay. Together, the KIND platform should provide a way to close the loop between marijuana-related businesses and financial institutions.
