FO Banques, our French Finance affiliate, reminds us that is important not to let our guard down and keep pushing for better security on Bank branches.



The problem is constant in many countries around the world and lives of customers, bank workers and security guards are permanently at risk.



After the last events in Toulouse,FO Banques recalls that even though the number of hold ups and assaults has decreased overall in banks in France, it is important to maintain and develop safety measures allowing for bank employees and security guards to work peacefully and in good security conditions.



FO Banques, who was not a signatory to the agreement on security developed by the FBA in 2011, points out that bank still remain a potential target for criminals or unbalanced people, as shown by the events from yesterday,.



Beyond adequate security measures, FO Banques also asks for adequate staffing in the sales departments of banks and never one person on his or her own, as allowed in the FBA agreement. FO Banques also demands for psychological help to be available for employees who have faced aggression and also for their families.



For FO Banques good working conditions and security measures are not an option or a gimmick, but a necessity.
