Deposit systems are the heart of modern safes. They determine how safely and practically cash or envelopes can be dropped in. But which is better: letter slot or deposit flap?

The letter slot

Simple, compact and ideal for smaller envelopes or banknotes. Particularly suitable for bars or small till areas. Drawback: with very large envelopes the slot reaches its limits.

The deposit flap

More flexible and safer for larger amounts. Deposit flaps are tamper-proof and prevent cash from being "fished out". Particularly suitable for petrol stations, hospitality or hotels with high cash turnover.

Which solution suits you?

  • Bars, cafes: letter slot
  • Petrol stations, restaurants, hotels: deposit flap
  • Churches & clubs: either possible, depending on need

Conclusion

Whether letter slot or flap - what matters is the right solution for your sector. Both systems offer security and convenience when used correctly.
