What provisional credit in a safe means
With an ordinary safe, cash stays yours, and at your risk, until it reaches the bank: you count it, fill in the deposit slip and take it to the branch or wait for the collection. Only after the bank has counted it do you see the credit on your account.
Provisional credit (pre-credit) works the other way round. Each time you deposit banknotes in Natty, the safe counts them, checks they are genuine and sends the amount to the bank. The bank credits the sum to the shop's account provisionally, before collection. Risk passes to the bank the moment the banknotes enter Natty, not when the armoured van leaves.
How it works, step by step
01
The cashier logs in on the POS
Each operator has their own credentials on the shop's Android POS terminal, or on a smartphone. No display, no PC.
02
Inserts the banknotes
One at a time on Natty-S, or in bundles of up to 30 notes with Natty's automatic feeder.
03
Natty counts, checks and reports
Banknotes are authenticated and stored in the cassette or bag; the amount travels encrypted to the bank.
04
The amount is credited
The provisional credit reaches the account with no paper deposit slip. Collection is triggered when the set threshold is reached.
Why it pays for the shop
Cash available sooner
Today's takings are already on the account, without waiting for collection and the bank's count.
Less risk
From the moment of deposit the risk lies with the bank, and little cash stays in the till.
Less time lost
No end-of-day counting, no deposit slips, no queues at the branch or night safe.
Everything on record
Who deposited, when and how much stays on record; the owner follows one or a hundred stores from a smartphone.
Already certified in Italy
Pre-credit with Natty is already certified in Italy with a leading Italian banking group, through Knox, the software platform that connects smart safes, banks and cash-in-transit companies. Integration with local banking partners is available on request.
Who it is for
Shops that take cash every day in medium volumes: pharmacies, tobacconists, fuel stations, bars and restaurants, gaming halls, outlets, chains with several stores. For very high volumes, such as supermarkets, Plug-In offers machines with greater capacity and speed.
Quick questions
Is the credit final?
It is a provisional credit: the bank confirms it after the cash-in-transit company has collected and counted the cash.
Do I need to change bank?
The service is certified in Italy with a leading banking group. If you work with another bank, write to us and we will look at the integration.
How is it different from a night safe?
With a night safe you take the cash to the branch and the credit arrives after the bank's count. With Natty you deposit in store, whenever you like, and the provisional credit arrives before collection.
