If their bank or credit union did business with a legal pot store, more than 80% of Oregon consumers said they would not view their financial institution in a negative way and they would be more likely keep their accounts open, according to a new survey.

The survey was conducted by Oregon-based companies, LT Public Relations and DHM Research, non-partisan and independent public opinion and policy research firm. The survey sponsors said between Nov. 10 and Nov. 17, a demographically representative sample of nearly 800 Oregonians was anonymously surveyed online.
