There was a time when you walked into a bank to make a deposit and you handed your cash over the desk to a bank employee that was sat on the other side. There were no barriers, no fancy cash trays or technology that involved induction loops; it was simply you, your cash, a desk and a bank clerk that were involved in the transaction. It’s different today though. Cash Trays have been introduced to society.
Banks have overhauled their security systems and over the counter transactions are dealt with using pass through Cash Trays. Highly advanced Cash Trays have built in speech transfer technology, customers and bank clerks communicate with each other through sheets of reinforced safety glass. Designed to be extremely durable, Cash Trays have fast become must-have features in banks, building societies and other public buildings that handle large quantities of cash.
What do the cash trays look like?
The aesthetics of Cash Trays are pretty similar from one banking institute to the next. Most of the Cash Trays and built into the counter, the customer stands on one side, there’s a glazed panel in the middle, and the bank clerk sits on the other side.
Made from mild or stainless steel with bullet proof glazing sections, Cash Trays are made to client specifications with a variety of options available. Money is deposited on one side of the Cash Trays and the bank clerk retrieves it swiftly, whilst commuting with the customer through built-in speech transfer systems that can include induction loops for the hard of hearing.
Rotary axis cash trays
As well as banks and building societies, railways stations have started using Cash Trays for transactions with passengers. You might have seen one of the Cash Trays at your local station; they look a little bit different to the types used by banking institutes.
One of the ore common types of Cash Trays used at stations is a rotary axis model that spins on its own axis. These types of Cash Trays look like large metal plates and they have a divide down the middle.
Passengers put their money on one side of the Cash Trays and the ticket dispenser spins the tray, collects the cash then places the ticket back on the tray before it’s spun to face the passenger once more. Again they have speech transfer systems built in along with induction loops and work with total efficiency.
