Cash-in-transit

Cash-in-transit (CIT) or cash/valuables-in-transit (CVIT) is the physical transfer of banknotes, coins, credit cards and items of value from one location to another.

Legislation and regulations may impose requirements and restrictions on use of firearms, types of vehicles, minimum number of crew members, and use of intelligent banknote neutralisation systems.

The use of soft-skinned vehicles is normally only allowed when alternative security methods, such as intelligent banknote neutralisation systems, are also used.

[6] Inside CIT, the companies are specialized in the transportation and processing of cash, valuables and precious metals.

Most armored cars have two to three occupants: Depending on the jurisdiction, the guards are armed with weapons and required to wear bulletproof vests[8] and/or ballistic helmets.

Five member states of the European Union, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Sweden, and the Netherlands prohibit weapons during cash-in-transit operations.
