Bank security systems from the contractor with 600+ bank projects behind it
Since 1982, Illinois banks, credit unions, and financial institutions have trusted ASI to design, install, and monitor complete security and fire alarm systems — from the vault to the drive-up ATM.
Complete protection for financial facilities
One contractor, one point of accountability — every system a bank branch needs, designed and installed by ASI's own licensed technicians.
1
Vault & safe alarms
Intrusion detection for vaults, safes, and safe deposit areas with seismic and thermal sensors.

Hold-up & duress systems
Discreet hold-up buttons and duress signaling at teller lines, offices, and drive-up windows with verified 24/7 response.

High-resolution IP camera coverage of teller lines, entrances, ATMs, and parking with long-term retention.
5
Access control
Credential and audit-trail control for vault rooms, cash areas, server rooms, and employee entrances.
6
Fire alarm systems
UL-Listed, NFPA 72-compliant fire detection designed and certified with your local AHJ.
Compliance & standards
Built for the standards banks answer to
Financial institutions are held to security requirements most businesses never face — from Bank Protection Act minimum security device rules to insurer and examiner expectations. A security system that merely "works" isn't enough; it has to be documented, testable, and defensible.
After 600+ bank projects, ASI knows what security officers, auditors, and regulators look for — and designs systems that pass review the first time.
Bank Protection Act requirements
Systems designed around federal minimum security device requirements for financial institutions.
UL & NFPA 72 standards
UL-Listed fire alarm and central station monitoring; fire systems designed to NFPA 72.
AHJ coordination
Permits, inspections, testing, and certification handled with your local authority having jurisdiction.
Documentation for examiners
Test records and system documentation your security officer can hand to auditors.

Common questions
Bank security FAQs
Can you upgrade our existing system without closing the branch?
Yes. Most of our 600+ bank projects were upgrades to operating branches — we phase work around business hours and keep protection active throughout.
Do you handle multi-branch institutions?
Yes. ASI has completed multi-site rollouts for financial institutions across Illinois, with consistent equipment standards and centralized monitoring for every branch.
Can one contractor really handle security and fire alarm?
Yes — that's the point. ASI designs, installs, monitors, and services intrusion, hold-up, ATM, video, access control, and UL-Listed fire alarm systems as a single accountable source.
Do you work with credit unions and smaller community banks?
Absolutely. Community banks and credit unions make up a large share of our financial-sector work, with systems scaled to each institution's size and budget.
