At the moment is the problem that pot is still illegal on a federal level and banks have insurance and other things that are regulated by the federal government, not to mention many of them have branches outside of these pot legal states. So they don't take the money for fear they could get in trouble on a federal level.
in 2014 Obama's administration cleared the way for banks to start working with pot stores, but it has proven to take longer and be more complicated than many had thought. Basically one branch of the government is saying it is okay and the other is saying it still isn't okay.
In the end, change comes slowly.
