⚙️ Technical Specs
The Avansa Glory GFS 220 is engineered for high performance, offering superior speed and accuracy in banknote processing.

🗣️ Customer Testimonial
"Our accounting department used to spend hours manually counting cash, leading to frequent errors and late close-outs. Since we implemented the Avansa Glory GFS 220, our cash-up process is faster, more accurate, and far less stressful. The counterfeit detection has saved us from losses multiple times. It’s a game-changer for our busy retail stores across South Africa."
🎯 Ideal Applications
The Avansa Glory GFS 220 is specifically designed for businesses in Southern Africa that manage high volumes of cash and require precise processing. It is ideal for bank teller counter applications, cash centres in Johannesburg, foreign exchange bureaus in Lusaka, and busy retail outlets in Cape Town. It also serves casinos, hotels, and large hospitality venues in regions like Namibia and Mozambique, ensuring efficient and secure cash handling for all types of transactions.
💡 How It Works
The Avansa Glory GFS 220 operates by feeding banknotes from its hopper through a sophisticated scanning system. It rapidly counts, authenticates, and sorts notes. Its dual-pocket design allows continuous processing; genuine notes go to the main stacker, while suspect or unfit notes are diverted to a separate reject pocket without stopping the counting process. The machine uses advanced sensors for counterfeit detection and can also read and record serial numbers, providing comprehensive data for improved accountability.
💰 Value Benefits
Investing in the Avansa Glory GFS 220 provides significant return on investment for Southern African businesses. It dramatically reduces manual labour and time spent on cash handling, leading to substantial cost savings in operational efficiency. Enhanced counterfeit detection protects your business from financial losses due to fraudulent notes. Its multi-currency capability and high-speed processing improve productivity, allowing staff to focus on customer service and other value-adding tasks, ultimately boosting overall profitability and security.
