Deloitte Access Economics has now determined its recommended regulated pricing model for Armaguard’s Cash-in-Transit services.
The final independent pricing mechanism report has been provided to Armaguard as well as the major banks and major retailers.
This is an important milestone in working to keep cash available around Australia, even while people are using less of it.

All parties have worked together in good faith to achieve this milestone and will continue to work together to ensure the ongoing sustainability of Cash-in-Transit services.
