Boston, MA, 03/07/2014 – On Tuesday, March 4, 2014, Citadel EFT Inc (OCTMKTS:CDFT) announced that it is seeking to provide a complete processing solution for the legal marijuana industry.

Citadel’s President, Gary DeRoos, said that the company seeks to offer solutions that would not require transactions with banks and would not use credit or debit cards or even ACH transfers. The company aims at bringing together this market with a real solution for the escalating marijuana industry such that there it offers safe and trusted commerce with compliance of state laws by being fully transparent to state officials. DeRoos said that he is determined to advance towards positive growth in implementing the company strategy as that shareholders can enjoy maximum return.
