July 2009 | The Brink's Journal | Page 5 BANK SERVER HQ Brink's CompuSafe Solution Overview CompuSafe ® Service is a closed- loop cash management system allowing Brink's control through the entire process, so the potential for theft is greatly reduced. By relieving employees the burden of cash handling, Brink's CompuSafe creates a safer work environment that boosts worker morale and protects profitability. Store employees simply insert currency directly into one of the CompuSafe intelligent safes, which reads and digitally verifies notes and places them into sealed, locked, secure cassettes. Then, a Brink's armored carrier collects the sealed cassettes on a scheduled basis and transports them to a Brink's vault facility for processing. The safe records transactions electronically and generates a detailed receipt that allows comparing store sales with actual cash in the safe. CompuSafe and Daily Credit T Working with participating banks, Brink's can facilitate accelerated credit based on electronically reported deposit totals allowing customers the flexibility to make informed treasury decisions. Each day, the CompuSafe communicates with the Brink's central database to total the amount of cash taken in at each customer location. The total amount is credited to the customer's bank account electronically- daily credit without daily pickup. Benefits include: . Accelerated funds availability: Receive credit for cash receipts on a regular basis, without having to wait for cash to be processed. . Lower transportation costs: Allows customers to arrange for armored pick- ups based on cash volume, not on cash flow needs. For instance, smaller stores may need pick- up only twice a week while high- traffic stores may require more frequent cash pick- up. . Increased productivity: This secure, reliable process takes place automatically, freeing customer resources for other, more productive tasks. . Improved visibility: Totals can be transmitted upon closing out the day or at a predetermined time each day, giving customers the flexibility to meet bank deposit cut- off times and providing greater visibility of their cash position. . Accuracy: With totals calculated and transmitted electronically, potential human error in the data entry and deposit preparation process is eliminated. Brink's CompuSafe service delivers innovation and functionality to meet the cash- handling challenge in the most cash- intensive environments. When coupled with Brink's Daily CreditTM, the intelligent safe solution is a streamlined process that overcomes traditional challenges when dealing with high volumes of cash. How it works Cash received at the point of sale is inserted into the CompuSafe where it is counted and authenticated, then passed into cassettes for safekeeping. Brink's picks up cash and takes it to its cash vault for process-ing. Brink's systems enable sharing of information and electronic transmission of deposit information. Deposit information from multiple stores is aggregated and sent to a single bank.
