Banking

The role of the Banking industry in storing, handling and distributing money and valuable assets means that it is an obvious target for criminal activity. The potential gains are such that criminals will go to extreme measures in order to circumvent security provisions, resulting in a significant risk to both staff and property.

Banks therefore require complex and detailed security measures, procedures and training in order to prevent the theft of currency, robbery, fraud and the circulation of counterfeit currency. As a result of making Bank accounts available online, worldwide cyber-based attacks have emerged that require their own specialist I.T. Security solutions.

Westminster can provide security solutions for every aspect of the Banking industry. The Bank premises can be protected with a range of Gates & Barriers, Access Control, Bullet-Proof Glass and Asset Management solutions. Vault Protection and Blast Protection solutions should also be deployed to help protect key assets.

Intrusion Detection Systems, Staff Attack & Panic Alarms, I.D. Credential Management, CCTV Surveillance and Remote Monitoring Systems help to protect and monitor anyone entering or activity within the Bank environment, safeguarding staff & customers and immediately alerting security personnel to any unauthorised access that occurs. Westminster can also provide Banks with centralised management and control of their security systems so that regional or national headquarters can monitor branch activity.

Solutions are also available for Cash in Transit, including the supply of CIT Vehicles and associated equipment to protect personnel and the transport of cash or valuables. Westminster also provides ATM Security to protect customers withdrawing cash, whether inside the Bank or at outside locations.
