In the banking sector, ensuring the safety of funds and confidential information is always the top priority. To prevent unauthorized access and tampering, banks widely use various anti-tamper mechanisms, with security seals being one of the most typical solutions. These seals are used in a variety of scenarios such as offices, safes, and transport vehicles, playing a crucial protective role.
While security seals are often associated with freight, their applications extend far beyond that. Almost every industry uses seals, and the banking system is one of the key sectors relying on them. Below, we’ll explore the five core applications of security seals in banking, helping you better understand their value.
1. Security Seals for Bank Cash Transport
When transporting cash between banks or with armored transport companies, security seals play a vital role. Cash is typically placed in specialized sealed bags or boxes, which are then sealed with anti-tamper seals and transported via armored vehicles.
For instance, ProtegoSeal’s Plastic Pull Tight Seal, equipped with a multi-point locking mechanism and a label attachment feature, allows clear identification of the bank name, barcode, serial number, and other information, making tracking and verification easy. Additionally, its tooth design effectively prevents seal loosening.
For heavy bags containing large amounts of cash, we recommend the reinforced pull-tight seal, which features a steel locking mechanism for a stronger closure, making it ideal for high-capacity and heavy-duty scenarios.
Standard plastic pull-tight seals come in a variety of colors and are easy to use, making them an excellent choice for bank cash trays and dedicated containers. The choice of seal model is typically determined by the mode of transport and labeling requirements.
2. Security Seals for ATMs
ATM cash management also requires security seals for protection. Cash boxes used in ATMs are sealed after loading, and their integrity is checked during returns based on the condition of the seal.
Common seals used for ATMs include Metal Wire Seals and aluminum crimp seals, which are particularly suitable for confined spaces. Increasingly, banks are also using anti-tamper adhesive labels similar to those used on gas station credit card readers, to protect the integrity of ATM cash boxes.
Additionally, some ATMs are equipped with internal seals on communication control systems, which are only accessible by technical personnel, further enhancing the overall security of the device.
3. Security Seals for Bank Document Transport
In addition to cash, banks often need to transport sensitive documents, such as contracts, checks, and financial certificates. These documents are typically transported in tamper-evident postal bags or sealed boxes with security seals.
ProtegoSeal offers a variety of security seal models to meet the needs of different banks or logistics companies. Among them, the Plastic Padlock Seal is a compact and easy-to-use choice for securing documents. The Pull Tight Plastic Seal offers additional reinforcement options and is favored by many clients.
4. Security Seals for Internal Bank Storage
Internal storage areas in banks, such as drawers and safes, are commonly used to store notes, checks, promissory notes, or client files. In addition to lock management, security seals also play a crucial role in these areas.
In large storage areas, banks often use Smooth Pull Tight Seals for access control records. These seals not only prevent unauthorized access but also record the time and person responsible for opening the storage, enhancing internal monitoring and audit processes.
5. Security Seals for Private Banking Services
Many banks offer private vault services to high-net-worth clients, storing valuables, estate trusts, or confidential documents. These items are typically stored in safes or dedicated vaults.
To ensure the integrity and privacy of the entrusted items, banks often apply seals or use custom labels before sealing the items, preventing third-party access. These security seals provide not only physical protection but also serve as compliance and accountability tracking tools.
