Comprehensive Security Solutions for Banks & Financial Institutions

Banks and financial institutions are in a precarious position. Banks hold physical cash and assets, which is very attractive to many criminals. There are an estimated 10,000 bank robberies in the United States each year, which amounts to about $100 million stolen. Though many of these robbers are apprehended, the money is not always recovered. 

Increasing security at banks and financial institutions is a smart move. Whether you include armed or unarmed security guards, the presence of an authority figure can help in many ways. At Securida, we believe in providing comprehensive security solutions for banks and financial institutions. 

Let’s take a look at some ways to improve bank security and dissuade potential threats. 

Security Technology & Management Systems

There are a number of ways to increase bank and financial institution security with innovative technology systems, from visitor management and CCTV cameras to alarms and intrusion detection. 

In combination with experienced security personnel, technology helps financial institutions create comprehensive security systems.

Visitor Management Systems

Implementing visitor management systems can control who has access to the building. 

Electronic access control systems, which implement keycards or biometric access to restrict access to sensitive areas and information, can also be included.

Security System & CCTV Cameras

A comprehensive security system can also help increase security. With CCTV cameras and consistent monitoring, a security system can capture faces and alert authorities to problems. 

Real-time surveillance and recordings can be used to stop or capture individuals who commit crimes within the building. 

Alarm Systems

Alarm systems can be used for intruder detection and panic buttons, both of which can alert authorities to unauthorized access and request help in a situation. 

Security Personnel

The addition of security personnel can increase your bank or financial institution’s security.

On-Site Security

On-site security guards, whether armed or unarmed, can provide many benefits to a business that handles money. Highly trained security personnel are equipped to handle situations where someone may try to commit a crime. 

On-site security guards, especially those with previous military or law enforcement experience, have unique skills that can help protect your bank or financial institution. 

The many benefits of on-site security personnel include: 

• Act as a visual deterrent for potential criminals

• Monitor access to the building and highly sensitive areas

• Respond to emergencies and alert authorities

• Provide 24/7 monitoring and security

• Provide peace of mind to employees, managers, and customers

Patrol Officers

If your bank or financial institution is large, consider adding patrol officers. Patrol officers are mobile security units that can circulate a route around a building or complex, adding an additional layer of security to the premises. 

Patrol officers can be in vehicles or on foot and monitor entrances, parking lots, and windows and can provide rapid response to breaches in security. They are versatile and offer a dynamic presence of security for your financial institution.
