Fast Guard Service has unveiled a new nationwide armed escort service designed to protect ATM technicians during field repairs and maintenance operations. The service responds to increasing safety risks faced by technicians in both high-risk and routine environments.
The new security offering provides licensed, armed guards who accompany technicians during various ATM-related tasks, including repairs, cash restocking, and equipment upgrades. Targeting national ATM repair companies, banks, credit unions, and retailers, the service aims to deter potential threats and ensure technician safety.
Using a per-stop pricing model, Fast Guard Service offers comprehensive protection with digital reporting, GPS tracking, live check-ins, and verified service logs managed through their proprietary FAST GUARD APP. The company provides coverage in major metropolitan areas nationwide, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Miami.
With full licensing, $5 million in liability insurance, and a network of vetted professionals, the service addresses a critical safety gap in the ATM maintenance industry. CEO Roderick C. Payne Jr. emphasized the service's goal of ensuring technicians can perform their jobs without feeling vulnerable.
The launch represents a significant response to the growing security challenges faced by ATM service professionals, potentially reducing risks of theft, assault, and workplace violence in the financial service sector.
