SHF Holdings, Inc., d/b/a/ Safe Harbor Financial (“Safe
Harbor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHFS), a leader in
facilitating banking, payments, and financial services to the
regulated cannabis industry, today announced that it has originated
four commercial real estate-backed loans for subsidiaries of a

state.
“We are pleased to originate this unique credit
facility and facilitate other banking services to this top-tier,
vertically integrated cannabis company,” said Sundie Seefried,
Chief Executive Officer at Safe Harbor. “We are looking forward to
offering similar real estate-backed lending products at
market-leading rates to cannabis operators of all sizes
nationwide.”
Terms of the loans include a fixed interest rate
with a five-year term and a 25-year amortization period; as well as
the potential financing of up to nine of the MSO’s additional
properties across several states.
