Prosegur Cash: 50 Years Managing value

The evolution of Prosegur Cash cannot be understood as a simple expansion of fleet or territory. It has been, above all, a structural transformation of the business model.

In the early decades, the focus was on building solid operational processes: operational standardization, investment in vehicles and facilities, development of security protocols, and progressive optimization of routes and cash processing centers. Operational automation gradually increased efficiency, reduced errors, and improved service reliability.

The position achieved in those years enabled the company to take a qualitative leap: not only transporting cash, but ensuring its availability in key points of the financial and commercial system. 

With geographic expansion, especially in Latin America, the cash ecosystem revealed its structural importance within local economies.

Prosegur Cash evolved toward a model capable of adapting to different regulatory, cultural, and banking environments.

This expansion led to the development of new services. Cash management was no longer limited to physical transportation: it also incorporated technological solutions that allowed clients to consolidate a new perspective on cash management, one focused on efficiency and transparency.

Automation advanced in processing centers, enabling operations to maintain consistent standards on a global scale.

A major shift in the sector began to reshape the future of cash. The digitalization of payments, the growth of e-commerce, and debates around a “cashless society” introduced a new level of complexity.

In this context, the creation of Prosegur Cash as an independent company and its listing on the stock exchange marked a defining milestone. Specialization allowed the business to focus entirely on optimizing cash management. 

This strategic decision brought several benefits:

• Greater operational efficiency
• Stronger focus on profitability and cash generation
• Development of products aligned with the sector’s transformation
• A clearer global strategic vision

 

The turning point was not the disappearance of cash but the transformation of the needs of banks, retailers, and travelers within a rapidly changing environment.

The consolidation of Prosegur Cash as an independent company and its listing on the Spanish stock exchange strengthened this specialization.

One of the first drivers of this evolution was the growth of foreign exchange services. Increasing international mobility and globalized economies boosted the development of Prosegur Change, an activity strengthened with the integration of ChangeGroup as a global operator in retail foreign exchange. This required creating more efficient, secure, and accessible services for travelers, airports, and urban commercial centers.

At the same time, in regions where cash still plays a central role in everyday transactions, solutions such as Prosegur Pay ,designed to facilitate payments and complementary operations within the retail ecosystem became essential.

The business stopped being exclusively about transporting physical cash and gradually evolved into platforms capable of integrating transportation, processing, foreign exchange, and associated financial services. 

 

Value Formats

Today’s market demands solutions that combine physical security with advanced digital capabilities. Custody is no longer limited to banknotes and coins: it now extends to digital assets and new forms of value.

In this context, Prosegur Crypto was created—an initiative designed to address a growing market need: custody services for digital assets with security standards comparable to, or even higher than, those of traditional banking.

Innovation also led to the development of Prosegur Digital Gold, which integrates physical security with tokenization technology. In this case, the market need is twofold: access to safe-haven assets combined with the flexibility and transparency of digital platforms. 

Over the decades, the company has evolved from a model centered on armored transportation to an integrated ecosystem for value management.

We have supported banks, retailers, and institutions across different continents, adapting to regulatory, technological, and economic changes.

Thanks to the trust of our clients and our commitment to operational excellence, we have transformed a traditional service into a platform of financial and digital solutions.

Our goal is to continue leading the evolution of cash management in a hybrid world, where physical and digital currencies coexist and complement each other.
