If you're a laundromat operator, you already know: cash is a big part of how your business runs. You count it, you carry it, you drive it to the bank, often alone, often late, always hoping nothing goes sideways. We think you deserve better infrastructure than that.
Today, we're excited to share that Cents has partnered with Brink's, the global standard in secure cash logistics, to bring professional-grade cash management tools directly to laundromat operators through the Cents platform.
Laundromats are among the most cash-intensive businesses in America. And for decades, the "solution" has been the same: manual counting, cash bags, and runs to the bank squeezed in between loads. That's not a system. It's a workaround. One that takes your time, introduces risk, and doesn't scale as your business grows.
Cash is at the center of every laundromat
"As a payments company, our goal is to ensure our operators can manage all forms of payments, not just card or digital. Cash is at the center of every laundromat, and managing it has always been one of the biggest operational headaches. Partnering with Brink's allows us to remove that burden entirely. Tools that large retailers have relied on for years are now available to every independent business through the Cents platform. That's what we mean when we say we're building for operators first."
Alex Jekowsky, Co-founder & CEO, Cents
From our partners at Brink's
"We're excited to partner with Cents to help owners and operators across the U.S. simplify cash management, improve visibility, and spend less time handling cash so they can focus on running and growing their business. Together, we're making cash management easier, more secure, and more efficient for the garment care industry."
Jackie Wentz, Director Digital Solutions & Channel, Brink's North America
So, what does this mean for you?
Through our partnership with Brink's, Cents customers now have access to Brink's smart safe solutions, right-sized for laundromat operators. No runs to the bank. No counting cash at midnight. No more hoping your deposits made it safely. Just smart, automated cash handling that works in the background while you focus on running your business.
Here's a look at the two solutions available through Brink's Complete:
Brink's RetailBox:

Designed for stores building their cash volume. Includes armored pickup, centralized reporting, and the Brink's 24SEVEN portal.
Brink's Box:

Built for larger operations. Same trusted Brink's infrastructure, scaled up for multi-location or high-traffic stores.
Both solutions come delivered through the Brink's Complete program, with a single monthly subscription covering the device, service, and ongoing support.
What's included:
-
Next-business-day credit: your cash is credited before it even leaves the safe, so you're never waiting on a deposit
-
Armored pickup: trained Brink's professionals handle transport, so you never have to make a run to the bank again
-
Brink's 24SEVEN portal: centralized reporting and real-time visibility across every location
-
One monthly subscription: covers the device, service, and support
This is part of a broader effort at Cents to build the infrastructure layer that independent laundromat operators have always needed but never had access to. The tools big-box retailers use? You should have them too. That's what this partnership is about.
We're proud to partner with Brink's, trusted by businesses large and small around the world, to bring this to our community. And as always, if you have questions about whether this is a fit for your stores, our team is here to help you figure it out.
