Volume cash storage for emerging economy Bank custom

The Requirement

A major Bank in an emerging economy requested full refurbishment of its cash management system. Card and e-Banking are not yet established. Cash remains King yet security in this religious country is not a major issue.

The Solution
 

Cash Bases identified the need for high capacity cash storage with extra note storage. A Maximum capacity drawer configured with flexible note inserts to store a high volume of notes yet with a short stroke was supplied with an identical high capacity, under counter mounted flip lid drawer on top. The insert for this drawer was configured to store coins and notes for all the actual transactions.
 

The Benefits
 

The counter retains space for screen and transaction tray, counting, form filling and promotional merchandise. Employees are customer facing at comfortable distance from the counter due to the short opening depth of the drawer. Customers are assured of available cash so manage their money through the Banks who earn interest on their deposits.

The Solution

A special flip lid drawer with integral, lockable lid was designed with a flexible insert with floppy dividers and specifically moulded individual coin stackers replacing half of the traditional cups. The insert was capable of being configured for left or right-handed cashiers.
 

The Benefits

Ergonomics are specific to the handedness of the operator making counting more effective and comfortable. Coins can be quickly given to customers from the graded coin stackers and filled from the cups in quiet times. Inserts can be locked, replaced and removed for counting by a supervisor. Cashier desire to be accurate is improved and in addition they are left free to serve customers.

Security in open counter Building society

The Requirement

An English National Building society briefed a need to trigger its security from a hidden source at low risk to employees. Cash storage is not an issue as they hold less cash than the average multiple retailer but thieves believe otherwise.
 

The Solution
 

Cash Bases supplied a high security flip lid drawer. A dummy note holder containing a tiny micro switch covered by a single £5 note was incorporated. If withdrawn the note would trigger the switch and a stainless steel, gas powered screen raises immediately.
 

The Benefits

 
Customers benefit from an unthreatening environment with no screens. Employees are safe in the knowledge that they have some protection from the front facing flip lid and can offer to hand over money to an armed robber and be instantly protected from them. The cleverly overlapping design of the high security front plate will withstand excessive forced entry making it less easy to open the more it is prised. In the event of a break-in revenue is protected. In some instances insurance costs are reduced by taking additional precautions.

Multi-currency storage in limited space

The Requirement

A nationwide Bureau de Change needed high volume, multiple note storage. Cashiers occupied customer-facing counters with the drawer coming out to their side and needing to withstand repeated open and close cycles during the day.
 

The Solution
 

Cash Bases provided two high capacity, under-mounted drawers with rotatable, adjustable inserts. The drawers were narrow and deep with enough height to stand the widest note on its side. The bottom drawer was configured for 28 different currency notes and the upper for 8 coins and 14 further notes.
 

The Benefits
 

The drawer takes up minimum width and is very deep which doesn’t matter in the space available. The rotatable insert allows the cashier to turn the notes and coins to a position that will minimise twisting. The drawer is robust and ideal for busy environments with a high volume of cash transactions.
