What is covert CIT (Cash in transit)?
Covert cash in transit involves discreetly moving daily banking from a location to a financial institution, under heightened security measures. This method safeguards fund transportation, particularly in situations where overt security might attract unwanted attention or pose risks to business or staff. Operations employ tactics like specialised vehicles, concealed compartments, and carefully planned routes to ensure safe and inconspicuous transfer while minimising interception or theft risks.
As a small business, why do I need a CIT service?
For small businesses, cash in transit (CIT) services provide essential safeguards and benefits. Entrusting the secure transportation of cash deposits to CIT professionals reduces the risks linked to internal handling or cash transport. Equipped with specialised vehicles, security measures, and trained personnel, CIT firms ensure safe and efficient fund transfers from your establishment to designated destinations. Outsourcing this responsibility enhances staff and asset safety, decreases theft risks, streamlines cash management, and allows focus on core business functions. CIT providers often include comprehensive insurance coverage, reducing financial risks tied to cash handling and transport.
What's the difference between courier and a CIT company?
Couriers specialise in swiftly delivering parcels and packages, prioritising speed over security, using standard vehicles and routes. On the other hand, cash in transit (CIT) companies excel in securely transporting cash, valuables, and high-risk items like jewelry or precious metals. Operating under stringent security protocols regulated by ASIAL, CIT companies employ specialised vehicles and trained personnel to minimise risks such as theft and robbery. Their services cater to businesses, financial institutions, and retailers requiring enhanced security measures during transportation, ensuring comprehensive protection through features like armoured vehicles, GPS tracking, and armed guards.
What if my banking is lost or stolen after handover?
If your money is lost or stolen post-handover to our cash in transit (CIT) company, we'll launch an investigation. With insurance coverage against transit losses like theft or robbery, we conduct internal inquiries upon loss notification to determine liability. Depending on your agreement and loss circumstances, you may qualify for reimbursement, as we typically offer tailored insurance for such incidents, ensuring your financial protection. While losses during transit are rare due to stringent security measures, it's vital to have contingency plans and collaborate closely with us to ensure fund transportation security.
How do we track my money en route to the bank?
Utilising a digital tracking system such as eDockets enhances cash transportation security and transparency. With real-time tracking, you gain complete visibility into your funds' whereabouts, including current location, route history, and estimated arrival time. eDockets also offers alerts for deviations or delays, enabling prompt issue resolution. By embracing digital tracking systems like eDockets, you elevate cash transportation security, efficiency, and accountability, ensuring your funds are monitored and safeguarded throughout transit.
Can you also provide coin change?
Providing the convenience of delivering change, including coins, during cash collections showcases a dedication to thorough cash management solutions. By integrating this service, you streamline operations and ensure readily available denominations for transactions, saving time and effort for your staff. Entrusting this task to your CIT company optimises efficiency and accuracy in cash flow management, allowing focus on core business activities. This approach underscores dedication to seamless, customer-centric services, enhancing the overall experience for employees and customers alike.
