Professional cash transportation is generally carried out by dedicated cash-in-transit (CIT) companies, but the national regulations governing this sector are very different from Member State to Member State.
Regulatory differences concern a wide range of issues such as the possession and carrying of firearms by the CIT-staff, armouring and equipment of the CIT-vehicles, number of staff in the vehicles, training requirements, the use of intelligent banknote neutralisation systems (IBNS), information towards the police, licence rules and penalties etc.
