Safe Harbor Financial Cuts $1.2M Liability with New Agreement

Safe Harbor Financial, a cannabis-focused financial services firm, has eliminated $1.2 million in indemnity liability through a restructured agreement with Partner Colorado Credit Union (PCCU). The deal, effective January 1, 2025, marks a critical step in the company’s financial and operational strategy.

Key Highlights of the Agreement

The amended four-year agreement modifies the longstanding partnership between Safe Harbor Financial and PCCU. The indemnity liability, previously recorded on the company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, has now been erased, according to a statement released Tuesday.

This change means Safe Harbor will no longer need to maintain a loan loss reserve on its income statement, simplifying its accounting processes. CEO Sundie Seefried emphasized the significance of this adjustment, describing it as a “positive and pivotal development.”

“The updated terms not only streamline our operations but also align expenses with income, which allows us to mitigate contingent liability risks within our loan portfolio,” Seefried noted.

Financial Flexibility and Growth

Safe Harbor, headquartered in Colorado, is a key player in the cannabis financial sector. With over 600 clients spanning more than 40 states and handling transactions exceeding $20 billion, the firm has been at the forefront of navigating cannabis industry financing challenges.

The agreement’s revised fee structures aim to improve the company’s financial performance while boosting shareholder value. The removal of loan indemnification obligations is expected to free up resources, enabling Safe Harbor to expand its services further and potentially support additional cannabis businesses.

A History of Supporting the Cannabis Industry

In addition to facilitating loans, Safe Harbor actively finances initiatives that drive sustainability and efficiency within the cannabis industry.

In December 2024, the firm loaned $500,000 to PI 51st Avenue, a Denver-based cannabis operator. The loan was earmarked for energy-saving lighting and equipment upgrades, demonstrating Safe Harbor’s commitment to promoting operational efficiency.

This aligns with the company’s broader mission to support the growth and sustainability of cannabis businesses across the U.S., particularly as they face unique challenges in accessing traditional financial services.

Looking Ahead

Safe Harbor’s modified agreement with PCCU is not just about cutting liabilities—it also positions the firm for long-term growth. By addressing operational inefficiencies and reducing exposure to financial risks, the company is setting a stronger foundation for continued expansion in a rapidly growing industry.

For its clients, this move signals Safe Harbor’s ability to evolve and adapt while providing financial stability and innovative solutions tailored to the cannabis sector’s unique demands.
