SinglePoint, Inc. Optimistic With Business Prospects as a Result of U.S. House Vote to Support Cannabis Industry Banking

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2014) - SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), a state-of-the-art mobile technology and full-service mobile payments company, is pleased to report that today The House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Financial Services appropriations bill forbidding the use of federal funds to penalize financial institutions that serve marijuana businesses operating legally under state laws.

Yesterday's vote bolstered banks' confidence around offering services to legal cannabis businesses by rejecting an amendment that would have blocked the implementation of federal guidance. "This is a huge step forward for the legal cannabis industry," said National Cannabis Industry Association executive director Aaron Smith. "Access to basic banking services is one of the most critical challenges facing legal cannabis businesses and the state agencies tasked with regulating them."

SingleSeed, a subsidiary of SinglePoint, provides cashless payments solutions to the legal cannabis industry including Pay by Text™, which allows customers to pay via their mobile device.

Greg Lambrecht, SinglePoint CEO, praising his SingleSeed sales team for already better-than-expected sales performance, expressed his confidence that as banks offer services to cannabis businesses SingleSeed and GreenStar Payment Solutions sales will increase dramatically stating further that, "It is time now for the Senate to take the same decisive action and fully open banking to this new and thriving industry."

"We look forward to helping our customers navigate the opportunities coming available, including Pay by Text™, as banks begin to offer their services."
