🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa Bulk Cash Transfer Unit is ideal for any cash-intensive business operation in Southern Africa where secure transfer of funds is paramount. This includes:

• Retail Outlets: Safely transfer cash from tills to secure back-office safes, especially in high-volume stores across Johannesburg, Cape Town, and other major cities.
• Banks and Financial Institutions: Secure inter-departmental cash movement and robust teller-to-customer cash transactions in branches across Southern Africa, including those in high-risk areas of Zambia and Mozambique.
• Casinos and Gaming Venues: Efficient and secure transfer of large sums within the premises, mitigating internal and external theft risks.
• Logistics and Cash-in-Transit Companies: Secure point-of-transfer for cash collections and deliveries.
• Forex Bureaus: Maintaining high levels of security during foreign exchange transactions.
• Government and Municipalities: For secure handling of payments and revenues in public-facing offices.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa Bulk Cash Transfer Unit provides a secure conduit for moving cash or other valuables. Cash is placed into the robust transfer drawer from the less secure side. The drawer is then securely pushed through to the high-security side (e.g., inside a strongroom or a secure cash office). Advanced locking mechanisms ensure that the drawer cannot be opened from both sides simultaneously, preventing any breach. For units integrated into transaction windows, a clear, two-way intercom facilitates communication while maintaining a physical barrier. This system minimises direct contact and exposure to risk, enhancing the safety of your staff and assets.
