At CBD Gold Drops, we’ve always strived to make purchasing our premium CBD oil products as seamless and convenient as possible for our valued customers. However, we regret to inform you that we can no longer accept credit and debit card payments for our products. This change may come as a surprise, and we want to take a moment to explain why this has happened, what it means for you, and how we’re working to ensure you can still access our high-quality CBD oils.
1. Regulatory Uncertainty
The legal landscape for CBD is complex and constantly evolving. While CBD is legal in the UK, its association with cannabis creates a perception of risk for financial institutions. The regulatory framework, including compliance with Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidelines and novel food regulations, adds layers of complexity. Banks and payment processors often view CBD businesses as operating in a “grey area,” leading them to avoid or limit services to avoid potential legal or compliance issues.
2. Reputational Concerns for Banks
Despite growing acceptance, CBD still carries a stigma due to its cannabis connection. Many traditional banks and payment processors, such as PayPal and Stripe, avoid working with CBD businesses to protect their reputation. This conservative approach limits the number of financial institutions willing to process card payments for CBD companies, leaving businesses like ours with fewer options.
We understand that the inability to pay with credit or debit cards may be inconvenient. Card payments are a preferred method for many customers due to their ease, security, and familiarity. However, this change is beyond our control and reflects the broader challenges faced by the CBD industry in the UK and globally.
Rest assured, we are actively exploring alternative payment solutions to ensure you can continue purchasing our CBD oils with ease. In the meantime, we encourage you to complete your purchases using Bank Transfers: You can make payments directly to our bank account via bank transfer. details on how to proceed will be displayed at checkout.
Looking Ahead
The CBD industry is dynamic and full of potential, but it comes with unique challenges. We’re optimistic that as regulations become clearer and the industry matures, more payment processors will embrace CBD businesses. Until then, we’re dedicated to finding innovative ways to serve you better.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Warm regards,
