SafePay - a technical description of a high-security protection solution for retail cash handling systems. Security Group Gunnebo has developed a completely sealed and highly secure cash handling solution for retail cash handling systems. The product, which has been developed in close collaboration with the retail trade, is the result of a MSEK 25 investment. In 2001, Gunnebo acquired "Cash Change Control Sweden AB", an acquisition that included patent in the EU, USA and Canada. SafePay consists of separate coin and note recycling system. The note recycler can also be equipped with intelligent deposit unit which greatly increases capacity and note dyeing system for more secure transportation. The note unit has the capacity to receive and authenticate or disburse one note per second, and can handle several different currencies at the same time. The unit can store up to 90 notes, after which it transfers the surplus to a sealed cartridge. If extra large quantities of notes are required, one or two additional deposit cartridges can be connected to give a capacity of 400 notes/cartridge. The note unit, which is built into the checkout desk, is 737 mm x 210 mm x 480 mm (HWD) in size. The coin unit has a display showing the amount of money inserted and the balance once the transaction has been concluded. The coin unit can take up to 50 coins simultaneously. Two coins per second are handled and authenticated and five coins per second are paid out in change. The coin unit can take between four and eight different coins and store 250-400 coins of each denomination. It can also handle three different currencies at the same time. The coin unit, which is publicly accessible at the checkout, is 920 mm x 190 mm x 445 mm (HWD) in size. SafePay can be integrated with ease into most existing electronic cash systems and requires only a few hours at each checkout to install.
