PayQwick (https://www.payqwick.com), the nation’s leading financial services platform for the cannabis industry, and WARPSPD, an AI-powered customer engagement platform, have partnered to deliver best-in-class consumer loyalty and payment solutions. 

Since 2015, PayQwick has provided compliant treasury and payment solutions for cannabis businesses across the supply chain. PayQwick delivers a seamless suite of services from cash pickups to receivables management, bill pay, electronic payments, real-time settlements, escrow services, and reporting through its proprietary platform. In 2020, PayQwick has processed over $500 million in transactions for U.S. businesses in more than a dozen states. 

Founded in 2019, WARPSPD is a consumer engagement and loyalty platform that enables retailers to TARGET, ENGAGE & improve LOYALTY of their consumers helping them drive recurring traffic, conversion, and profitability. WARPSPD currently works with some of the largest global retail brands. 

With the addition of WARPSPD to the PayQwick Financial Network, mutual retail and delivery clients will access reliable industry-leading payment solutions, seamless integration, faster settlement times and higher customer engagement to grow their businesses. WARPSPD‘s leaders anticipate that this strategic partnership will enhance their market share in high-growth cannabis retail. 

WARPSPD‘s LOQ8 (locate /lō kāt/) solution, a hyperlocal deals app for cannabis businesses, enables licensed dispensaries to effectively and efficiently engage consumers with compelling features that allow them to save time and money on their next purchase.
