September 2011

Good news from 3SI Security Systems:

We have had confirmation from local police that following a raid on an RBS Group branch in August, the use of DNA tagging technology deployed by 3SI to protect the bank notes has resulted in the detection, arrest and confession of the perpetrator.
 
When the case is heard in court, the police expect a sentence of 6-7 years to be passed.  Please feel free to communicate this to Banknote Watch members.

Good news from Irish Banking Federation:

Full roll out and completion of an E2E ATM ink stain degradation system for ATMs by end of November 2011 is on track.
