Cash Guard

What is a Cash Guard?

A cash guard is a cash management system that offers a complete solution for efficient, secure and closed cash handling. The system resolves many of the problems involved in many business that deal with traditional cash handling. Staff have no access to the till drawer and all transactions are calculated and administered by the cash guard system.

There have now been over 30,000 Cash Guard installations throughout Europe which started in Sweden in 1994. In Ireland, over 200 Cash Guards have been deployed nationwide since 2011. The systems are now present convenience stores, forecourts, bars, restaurants and pharmacies all over the country.

How does a Cash Guard work?

The CashGuard cash management solution at check out points consists of a note recycle machine controlled by the cashier and a coin recycle machine operated by the cashier/customer depending on the store’s preference. Products are registered as normal by the cashier using the till and the customer can simultaneously insert coins needed as part of the payment – the cashier feeds in the notes received from the customer.

Notes and coins are counted immediately and the customer automatically receives the correct change. The cash management back office solution provides full control of all notes and coins in the store. Collectors empty the note recycle machine and transferring of excess notes to the shop’s back office every so often.

Benefits of a Cash Guard

Improved money security – nobody will have access to the money therefore there will be no hands in the tills, essentially eradicating internal and over the counter theft and also human error therefore the tills won’t be incorrect at the end of the day read.

Improved customer/staff experience – this will make the store a safer shopping environment. Customers will always be given the correct change. It will lessen the stress of staff as they don’t have to go looking for floats or extra cash from management.

Improved store management – this will ultimately increase the time spent on customer service rather than cash management. Every cent is accounted for at the end of the day which will lower the cash handling costs in the future.
