Examples

“Banking after trading hours usually involves the use⟳ of a night safe. All the cash to be banked will have⟳ been placed inside a night safe wallet and that in turn⟳ must be carried in the cash carrying receptacle and only removed when immediately confronting the opened night safe.”

“This commonsense approach⟳ would indicate⟳ that monies should be paid into a bank as soon as possible for security reasons if nothing else. This is why most banks operate⟳ night safe systems as many organisations prefer⟳ to deposit⟳ their daily takings each evening rather than running the risk⟳ of having the cash on the premises over night.”

“The position is maybe less clear, however, with respect⟳ to one of the more recent incarnations of the safe-deposit services offered by banks, namely the night safe, which enables customers to deposit⟳ cash, cheques, or documents with a bank outside normal banking hours.”
