FAQs
Deposits from your business are taken by armored courier to a local Cash Vault for processing. The Cash Vault will then send an electronic file indicating the deposit amount to Bank of the Sierra. You no longer have to deliver checks, cash, or coin to a branch for deposit!
If you need a change order, simply submit a request through the Cash Vault Management System and your armored courier will securely bring the currency from the Cash Vault to your business.
Cash Vault with armored courier services saves time and offers added security to businesses that deposit and/or withdraw large amounts of cash.
Electronic Cash Vault deposit files delivered to Bank of the Sierra by 7:00pm PT on any business day will be considered deposited on that day.
Armored courier costs may vary due to several factors depending on your cash volume, change orders, frequency of deliveries and pickups, service location, which armored courier you choose, and other variables. These costs are determined by your armored courier, not Bank of the Sierra. For Bank of the Sierra fees, please refer to the Bank of the Sierra Commercial Schedule of Fees.
