What is the procedure for transporting funds of $7,500 or less?

The procedure for transporting funds of $7,500 or less allows the custodian to transport these funds without the necessity of an escort. This policy is typically in place to streamline operations and reduce the logistical burden on personnel involved in routine fund transportation. When the amount is below this threshold, it is deemed manageable and poses a lower risk, making it acceptable for the custodian to handle the transport independently.

Having an escort can add complexity and isn't required for smaller amounts, which helps in maintaining efficiency in operations while still adhering to fundamental security protocols and minimizing potential vulnerabilities associated with transporting larger sums of money.
