Detect counterfeit money with banking equipment

Once you accept a counterfeit bill, you lose the money. Using banking equipment that detects counterfeit bills allows you to decline the bill before you deposit it. Color-shifting ink, security threads and watermarks help you distinguish real currency from fake.

I recommend: Purchase a currency counter with UV and Magnetic detection abilities, counterfeit pens or a dual control authenticator from Banksupplies.com.

Stock up on bank teller supplies

Bank supplies such as anti-fatigue mats decrease work related strain on the body. Use tamper evident bags to help maintain security even when you aren't present. Banking machines reduce human errors in counting money and sorting change.

I recommend: Check out General Bank Supply’s extensive list of cashier and bank teller supplies which include deposit ticket holders, steel security cases and cash trays.

Install an automatic teller machine (ATM)

Automatic teller machines reduce traffic through the drive through and help eliminate lines inside. Locate your ATM in an unused corner of your parking lot, on the outside wall of the bank or inside the bank lobby. Adding an Automatic Teller Machine means incurring maintenance costs, but allows you to collect fees for service from non-members.

I recommend: Use a company that sells products from a variety of ATM machine manufacturers. IMS sells automatic teller machines from Triton, Tranax and Tidel. If you don’t have space for a free standing ATM, look at through-the-wall options.
