From the inventors of passive dye-stain

What hits your ATMs?

Pick everything you've seen. We'll show you what stops it, and the evidence that it works.

Where are your ATMs?

Explosive attacks began in South Africa. So did the defence that stopped them.

You need explosive cover

BiNK

Passive dye-stain, triggered by the blast itself. No power, no sensors, no false activations.

  • Solid explosives covered

Your choices travel with the enquiry, so the first call starts from your attack profile.

How BiNK works

The blast is the trigger.

The shockwave that breaches the safe also ruptures the ink. No sensor has to detect the attack, so there's nothing to miss.

  1. 1
    The blast breaches the safeSolid or gas explosive. A solid-explosive shockwave travels at 8.5 km/s.
  2. 2
    The same shockwave ruptures the ink containerPatented and passive. Nothing has to detect the attack.
  3. 3
    The notes are stained and worthlessThe prize is spoiled, which removes the reason to attack.
