How to choose the best Transaction Window for your Business

Transaction Windows offer an excellent way of transferring documents and objects between two people and ensure employee safety in various customer service situations. They support quick and secure exchange of goods between companies and customers without the need for direct contact between them. Depending on the requirement, transaction windows can be installed on interior walls to accommodate employees or on the exterior walls for public access.

There are several examples of transaction windows, so understanding their functions — as well as the importance of size, security, and durability— is integral to choosing the best option for your business.

Bank Windows

Security is of prime importance for bank windows. Bank transaction windows can help protect both the employee and the drawer from adverse weather and the actions of people on the other side of the employee's window. These transaction windows generally have multiple locks, and bullet-resistant glass can help keep employees safe while offering customers contactless banking. Other options include a drawer/window combination with a sliding window and a transaction drawer that can be operated simultaneously or separately. Here are a few popular choices for bank windows:

  1. CRL Bullet Resistant 24" Wide Exterior Window with Speak-Thru and Shelf with Deal Tray for Walls: S1EW2436A
  2. CRL 40" Wide Bullet Resistant Exterior Window with Surround Sound, Speak-Thru and Shelf with Deal Tray:C0EW3636A

Drive-Thru Windows

Drive-thru transaction windows are designed to facilitate operation for a seamless and easy exchange of goods with customers. These windows are typically found in fast-food restaurants and come in various sizes and styles. There are options for manual versus automated windows, depending on the type of service required, order volumes, and goals to increase order throughput or speed of service. Consideration of the size of the window, glazing, finish, and overarching business objectives will help decide the best window for your needs. Here are a few popular choices for drive-thru windows:

At concert venues and large stadiums where long tine of crowds gather to buy tickets, ticketing windows play an essential role in keeping employees safe and comfortable while effectively distributing tickets. There are different options of ticketing windows, with everything from sliding window and drawer combinations to a speak-around window allowing natural sound transfer.
