Security Built Around the Requirements of Financial Environments

Vault access, branch security, customer onboarding and staff credentialing run from one connected platform, so every entry, every deposit box and every audit request has an answer.

The reality of running a branch

The Risks Your Team Manages Every Day

Not theoretical threats and the pressures that come with protecting other people’s money.

Vault and deposit box security

High-value assets require access logs tied to the individual, with no reliance on physical keys.

Multi-branch access consistency

The same access rules need to apply identically across every branch, without manual duplication.

Customer onboarding fraud

Identity fraud at account opening is costly to catch after the fact, it needs stopping at the door.

Cash handling and till security

Cash rooms and counters need tight control without slowing down customer-facing staff.

Regulatory audit requirements

FCA and AML reviews require a complete, reliable access record on demand, not one reconstructed after the fact.

High-value asset protection

Branches remain a target for robbery and tailgating; deterrence and rapid response both matter.

The integrated solution

One System Across Every Branch, Vault and Login

Financial institutions enforce strict access rules for branch staff, contractors, cash-in-transit teams, and customers across multiple sites. Managing these as separate systems increases security risks and complicates audits.

Arana connects branch access, vault security, deposit boxes and customer identity verification into a single flow, so a role change or a new branch takes effect everywhere at once, with the evidence to prove it.

Every door, every box and every login should produce evidence you can hand to a regulator without reconstructing it after the fact.

Why Arana

Big Business Standards. Small Business Attention.

We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.

Direct access

Speak with the engineer who configured your branch and vault access, not a support queue starting from zero.

Fast to move

New branches, staff changes and permissions are actioned in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.

Tailored, not templated

Controls built around your branches, vaults and compliance obligations, not a generic template.

Accountable, end to end​

The team that designs your access controls is the same team accountable when auditors ask for evidence.
