At Nationwide Payment Systems, we’ve supported charitable organizations since we opened in 2001, and last year we sat down with our staff to look at ways to honor local organizations. We met with leaders of local charities that are helping the environment, children, education, and veterans, and created a web page to show how they are making a difference in South Florida.?
Join Allen and Justin as they discuss the Community Giving Project in 2022 in Episode 134 of the B2B Vault. This year we wanted to involve our employees and visit our chosen local charities that we all feel are doing good work in the community.?
In addition to creating a webpage honoring each charity and what they do, we went out and personally met the people running these charities to learn more about them and how people can get more involved. These are all great causes, like helping the environment, educating children, and providing better quality of life for veterans. Considering the work they are doing, these organizations deserve more than a once-a-year shoutout and occasional donation.??
FEATURED PODCAST EPISODE
We’ve been warning cannabis-related businesses to ditch cashless ATMs, which are really POS terminals pretending to be ATMs. If you’re still using countertop terminals to process cannabis sales in the form of cash withdrawals, you could face fines of up to $50,000. Nationwide Payment Systems can provide stress-free managed ATM services that meet industry guidelines.?
In Episode 131 of the B2B Vault: The Payment Technology Podcast, Allen and Justin jump into the world of cannabis payment solutions and the bumpy road ahead. As we predicted, Visa has been sending out warning letters to ATM providers about cashless ATMs and it’s really important for businesses operating in the space to differentiate between legal and illegal payment methods. There’s a lot to unpack but the good news is, Nationwide Payment Systems can help you differentiate and stay on the right side of the card brands and regulators.?
Bottom line, it’s time for cannabis associations to start working with Visa and other card brands to pressure Congress into acting. Getting petitions state by state could help a multi-billion dollar industry get legal access to banking and payments after years of waiting. This can has been kicked down the road for far too long.?

Among 2022 highlights, the QR Code made a huge comeback and continues to gain traction. We’re hoping to see QR code payments in 2023. Self-service kiosks are also gaining ground, a trend we expect will continue. We recently saw a MacDonald’s open a new restaurant with no human contact.?
