Cash-in-transit businesses service ATMs, which requires the storage and transport of cash. About £1.4 billion are transported per day in the United Kingdom, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by criminals. During August, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. announced that one of its security products helped send to prison 10 criminals, who had targeted cash-in-transit vans and custodians. The security product is called SigNature DNA.

Applied DNA Sciences produces a SigNature DNA marker by isolating and fragmenting plant DNA. Technicians reassemble DNA fragments in a unique combination to form a DNA marker. In the cash-in-transit business case, SigNature DNA-spiked cash stolen from Loomis cash boxes linked criminals to eight cash-in-transit crimes.
