Commitment to Excellence
The company boasts a remarkable 99% delivery rate, which is significantly higher than the national average for armored carriers.

This move is strategically designed to enhance service for its clients in the financial and commercial sectors throughout the region.
Partnerships That Matter

Apart from its strengths in CIT and ATM services, Shields offers comprehensive cash management and smart safe solutions tailored for different sectors including retail, healthcare, non-profit, and government organizations.
Supporting Growing Financial Corridors
The newly established facility is ideally located to provide enhanced support for the burgeoning financial and commercial corridors near Harrisburg, including various counties such as Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, York, and Perry. This central location optimizes access to major transportation routes like I-81, I-83, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which facilitates shortened transit times and improved service coverage across the state.
Streamlined Cash Management Solutions
One of the main advantages of choosing Shields as a CIT partner is the assurance of secure and efficient cash management. The company diligently works to reduce operational costs while safeguarding crucial assets for its clients. By simplifying cash handling and transportation, Shields not only enables its customers to focus on their own business growth but also provides peace of mind through the expertise of seasoned industry professionals.
“Shields Business Solutions is a trusted partner who delivers on their promises. Since partnering with SBS, our cash logistics and ATM replenishment processes have become seamless,” said Kristine Good, VP Retail Operations. She went on to highlight their efficiency, reliability, and exceptional customer service that consistently exceeds expectations. “We truly value this partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration.”
