Cash payment and security
For information about cash payment and security, read the information below.
When receiving a cash payment, we must consider safety and security precautions:

Check the banknotes you receive are genuine as fake notes may be used.

Store excess cash in a safe during the day, leaving only the amount you need to operate in the till (cash
register). Deposit your excess money in the bank at the end of every day, so that only small amounts of
cash are kept on the business premises.

When depositing cash at a bank (known as banking cash), make sure you vary the time and route that
you take, so potential thieves cannot predict your movements. If possible, send more than one person
to the bank. Larger businesses can arrange for a security company to collect the cash directly from their
building. The security firm will transport the cash securely.
