The Office of the Treasurer has contracted with Brinks-Dunbar Courier Services to provide armored courier service to transport checks and cash to the bank. Dunbar offers the following pick-up options for the University:
To establish a new courier pick-up, you must complete the Courier Set-up Form and forward it via email to [email protected]. You will be contacted by Dunbar courier service’s Regional Account Executive to receive training.
If you need to change the number of days or the days of the week for pick-up, you must complete the Special Pick-up Change Form. Please note that special Dunbar pick-ups will be arranged by for large currency pick-ups only.
General guidelines for preparing the deposit for pick-up by Dunbar are as follows:
- The endorsed checks, currency, coin and the original and 1 copy of the deposit ticket, including an adding tape with the total of checks should be sealed in a Dunbar courier bag.
- The bag should be sealed following the directions on the bag. A bar coded sticker, provided by Dunbar should be placed on top of the preexisting bar code on the bag.
- The Dunbar courier “Customer Receipt Book” Must be completed. Procedures are written in the book. It is Cash Accounting’s procedure to record the deposit ticket number and the Dunbar bag number next to the amount associated with a given bag and deposit ticket.
- The Dunbar courier will arrive at the pick-up location within a specified 2 ½ hour window. It is imperative that the deposit be ready when the courier arrives. In addition to increased security risk, delays at any location will disrupt service to other JHU locations.
The Dunbar manifest must be signed prior to dropping off a deposit to the drop safe or giving the deposit bag to the Dunbar driver. With the exception of PBS, additional deposit bags can be requested by completing form Order Deposit bags and emailing your request to [email protected].
All departments within PBS must request deposit bags from:
Anna Marie Driggers [email protected] or Gina Burton [email protected]
The Treasurer’s Office must be notified via email at [email protected] or by calling 443-997-8120 of any missed pick-ups by Dunbar. The bill will be adjusted for any missed stops.
Dunbar will not pick-up any deposits on bank holidays, even if the University is open.
Departments should review SAP to determine if deposits have been credited to the bank. If deposits are not appearing in SAP within a week of the deposit being pick-up by Dunbar, please contact Treasury Operations ASAP. Dunbar researches discrepancies and missing deposits up to 30 days of the date of initial deposit.
