Cash in Transit Companies are entities that regularly and professionally provide the following services: transportation, processing, preparation and storing of cash and precious metals for third parties, both nationally and internationally.
 

Before starting activities, cash in transit companies must request to be included in the Register of the Superintendency of Financial Services. These entities do not require prior authorization to operate. See requirements for Registration (Arts. 125.5 et seq of the Central Bank of Uruguay Communications Compilation of Financial System Regulation and Control Rules RNRCSF in Spanish).
 

In these cases, supervision is aimed at monitoring the status of the entities with regards to money laundering or terrorist financing, implementing supervisory mechanisms in response to warnings.
 

The role of protecting financial users is also performed by responding to inquiries and denouncements.
