Bank robberies will be a thing of the past. Modern technologies are responsible for everything. Slovakia must follow in Denmark’s footsteps
The Danes report positive news. In the past year, there has not been a single bank robbery in the country, and note that they mainly have modern technology. Thieves have nothing to steal. The portal informed about this newspaper Now (TASR) based on the AP report.
To be more precise, the Danes are adapting more and more to the modern era and use payment cards or mobile devices (smartphones or smart watches / wristbands) during payments.
Cash transactions are considered outdated and so are people who are willing to risk tangles with the law.
“It’s amazing. Because robberies are an absolutely extreme burden on affected employees every time they happen.” Steen Lund Olsen, spokesman for the trade union of Danish banks, said in a statement. At the same time, he added that they did not record the required bank robbery in 2022.

People don’t want to use physical money anymore. Danish banks once recorded hundreds of robberies a year.
The Danish banking association Finance Denmark published a statistic that says it all. According to its data, only about 20 bank branches in all of Denmark already hold cash.
For the past six years, cash withdrawals have decreased by about 3/4 every year, and today there is only a minimum of them.
And if you think that there were no bank robberies in Denmark in the past, you are very much mistaken. The official report emphasizes that in 2000 the authorities recorded up to 221 bank robberies throughout the country. And that’s not enough. However, there was only one robbery in 2021 and none in 2022. It’s a distinct difference.
Even robbing ATMs is no longer worthwhile for thieves
One might say that when thieves can’t rob banks, they’ll focus their attention on ATMs, which may also hold interesting financial cash.
However, that is not true either. The most such attacks were recorded in 2016, and their total number was exactly 18.
However, since technology and its protection are moving forward, plus Danish banks have ensured better supervision of ATMs and technical protection, the number of similar attacks has dropped to absolute zero. This was confirmed directly by the Danish Banking Association.
However, the criminals did not give up, recently they focused on the online space in great force. This is unfortunately a sad reality, with which we also meet in Slovakia. So be careful.
