minimise the chances of robberies:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Alternate the days and times on which you deposit cash.<\/li>\n<li>Never make your bank visits public.<\/li>\n<li>Do not openly display the money you are depositing while you are standing in the bank queue.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid carrying money bags, briefcases or openly displaying your deposit receipt book.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s advisable to identify another branch nearby that you can visit to ensure that your banking pattern is not easily recognisable or detected.<\/li>\n<li>If the amount of cash you are regularly depositing is increasing as your business grows, consider using the services of a cash management company.<\/li>\n<li>Refrain from giving wages to your contract or casual labourers in full view of the public rather make use of wage accounts that can be provided by your bank.<\/li>\n<li>Refrain from driving to the bank in your company branded vehicle on a typical \u201cpay day\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Consider arranging for electronic transfers of wages to your contract or casual labourers\u2019 personal bank accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>ALSO READ: <a class=\"anchor_post\"
