Our strategy is clear: Securency will remain the leader in banknote counterfeit prevention.

This involves working closely with the world’s Central Banks to minimise threats to the national money supply and maximise the savings of public funds spent on banknote management.

Securency’s clear position in the market as the leader in banknote counterfeit prevention has been well-established based on its track record of innovation in developing new and increasingly sophisticated security features in its world-class product: Guardian^® banknote substrate.

The majority of Securency’s clients are nations that have either been the victims of counterfeit activity that has both undermined the economy and the public’s confidence in the currency, or have suffered structural integrity issues with cotton-paper notes.

In all client situations, a powerful business case has existed in which millions of dollars will be saved by moving the banknote base material from cotton-paper to polymer-based Guardian^® banknote substrate.

In the past decade, other banknote manufacturers have recognised the potential of polymer-based notes and have made attempts to replicate the technology. The process by which Guardian^® banknote substrate is created and the methodology behind the development of its range of security features is industry-leading and at the very core of Securency’s intellectual property.
