I'm looking for U.S based seed banks that take some form of electronic payment for ease and speed. The ones I've spoke to take Money orders which takes longer with the mailing back and forth.
Also someplace open during the shutdown. I called DC seeds and i49 and both are closed/never got back

Every seed bank I've checked is open, aside from Mephisto. Not many banks in the US take electronic payments. There are many threads with the same theme with more explanation...banking rules...marijuana federally illegal...account freezes/seizures....

I'd suggest not listing seed banks offering these payments on a publicly searchable forum or at least don't be surprised when the payment methods dry up on those sites. Google crawls RIU and makes search results readily available.

dcseedexchange is open ... I just got a pack of DJ Short Temple Flo from them. https://dcseedexchange.com/contact/
I think they accept echeck payments ... which as great of you own paper checks :)
I don't happen to have any so I sent them a money order on 4/6 priority mail and I had my seeds 4/9. It might be an extra day or 2 if you're in the midwest or on the west coast.

Yup. Guess where I got my seeds :) I'm in NY so I'm thinking a few days and I'll have me some Lemon Kush

Not sure what the fascination is with echecks around here lately. A purchase from a seed bank seems like exactly the type of transaction the bank would flag as possibly fraudulent....and exactly the type of payment method that could really cause issues for vendors if someone’s spouse issues a stop payment/fraud alert.


To OP: DCSE has a few non-cash payment methods though. You can hit their FAQ for more details.

last time I ordered from seedsherenow they took credit cards. That was about a year ago. I pretty sure their in the us, but the charge was international so it could get blocked by your cc company and prepaid cards might be an issue.

I ordered from SHN in January and CC was no longer an option, had to send them a money order.

That's unfortunate. Looks like bitcoin is currently their only electronic payment method. Guess you could use something like cash app to pay with bitcoin but I've never tried it.

Cash sent via Priority Mail to legit seed banks has yet to fail me as a payment method. No real need to be bothered with electronic payments when tracking keeps the USPS workers honest.

DC seed Exchange takes Cash App. I downloaded the app send money and had a tracking number the next day. Real easy. Put 4 seeds in paper towel and they all popped. Put them in soil last night. Hoping for some green in the next day or 2.
