Loomis in brief

Loomis in brief

Loomis is the specialist at creating an efficient cash flow in society. We offer comprehensive solutions at all levels of society including financial institutions, retailers, other commerce related business, and the public sector. Our 20,000 employees operate at more than 390 branch offices spread across 14 European countries and the US.

The specialist at creating an efficient cash flow

Loomis has a great heritage and a long history of managing cash. The history of Loomis goes back 150 years, to the California gold rush. As the specialist at creating an efficient physical flow of cash, we know better than anyone else when, where and how much cash is needed.

Loomis ensures that cash circulates quickly and safely. Ten years ago it took up to three days for a banknote to return to circulation after having been used in trade. By finding optimal cash flow solutions, Loomis has reduced that time to approximately 24 hours.

The customers of Loomis are first and foremost to be found within the banking sector and the retail industry. The demand for efficient cash handling is high among central banks, large commercial banks, large ATM operators, large retail chains but also smaller enterprises. 

We offer a wide range of solutions for cash in transit and cash management. Cash in transit remains our main source of income but a growing part of our profits is generated through cash management. The demand for comprehensive solutions regarding cash flow differs significantly depending on the market maturity. In general, the cash management market has developed further in Europe than in the US.
