Cash in Transit (CIT)

Your Deposits.
Moved Under Armed Guard.

Armed crews pick up your deposits and deliver your change orders on a set service schedule. Every run goes to your bank, your offsite vault or the Federal Reserve, and every shipment is insured and logged under strict chain-of-custody protocols.

The Problem

The Cost of
Moving Your Own Cash.

Bank Runs Pull Managers

A manager carrying the deposit to the bank is off the floor and exposed on the street. Every trip costs time and adds risk.

Every Hand Adds Shrinkage

Each employee who counts, carries or drops your cash adds a chance of internal theft or loss. Armored pickup takes the cash out of their hands and lowers your liability.

No Paper Trail

Banks, auditors and regulators expect a documented chain of custody. A hand-carried deposit leaves none.

The Federal Armored Difference

Why Federal Armored

Screened, Armed Crews

Every crew member is screened by Michigan State Police and holds a concealed weapon permit. Background checks, drug screening and ongoing training are standard across the fleet.

We Answer the Phone

Common Questions

What every buyer
asks first.

How often can you pick up?

Daily, weekly or custom schedules, matched to your cash volume. Whether you need five pickups a week at a multi-location cannabis operation or twice-weekly service at a credit union branch network, we plan service days for secure, efficient routes and set the schedule your operation needs.

Can you deliver to the Federal Reserve or our offsite vault?

Yes. All cash movement follows your preferences and corporate requirements. We make direct transfers to and from the Federal Reserve, and we service third-party vaults with documented chain-of-custody protocols.

What types of change orders can you fulfill?

Custom denomination packaging to your specifications — from standard strap orders to specialized coin rolls. Orders are prepared in our vault and delivered on your next scheduled service day, or on an expedited basis for urgent needs. We fulfill change orders for businesses of all sizes, from single-location retailers to multi-branch credit union networks.

Are you fully insured and licensed?

Fully bonded, insured through Lloyd's of London, and compliant with all Michigan transport laws. Every shipment is covered under one of the most respected insurance programs in the global cargo industry.

What if we need an emergency pickup outside our normal schedule?

You call (810) 820-8169 and a person answers. Off-schedule pickups are arranged through dispatch when a crew is available and billed at the special rate in your service agreement.
