Smartwater(TM)

At Lloyds TSB we're committed to keeping you and your money safe. We use the latest technology in our branches to prevent crime and to protect you.

One of the measures we are using in our branches is Smartwater^TM.

What does it do?

• Smartwater^TM transfers a harmless forensic solution onto a criminal which is easier to identify than DNA and is unique to each branch.
• The solution is invisible to the naked eye, but shows up under fluorescent light in the police station.
• It remains on the skin for weeks and clothing indefinitely.
• It irrefutably links a criminal to the scene of a crime.

Why are we using it?

• Smartwater^TM successfully deters criminals because it dramatically increases the risk of prosecution.
• Whether a crime is planned or opportunistic, an attack on a bank with a Smartwater^TM system is unwise because the forensic science makes the criminal both identifiable and accountable.
