Dunbar Courier Services

The Office of the Treasurer has contracted with Dunbar Courier Services to provide armored courier service to transport checks and cash to the bank. Dunbar offers the following pick-up options for the University:

• Pick-up three to five days of service per week at a cost of $15.00 per pick-up
• Pick-up of two days of service per week at a cost of $18.00 per pick-up
• Pick up rate for 1 day of service per week at a cost of $23.00 per pick-up.

To establish a new courier pick-up, you must complete the Courier Set-up Form and forward it via email to treasuryops@jhu.edu. You will be contacted once your courier service has been established.  If you need to change the number of days or the days of the week for pick-up, you must complete the Special Pick-up Change Form.

Please note that special pick-ups can be arranged but are at a cost of $40.00 per pick-up and require 48 hours to arrange.

General guidelines for preparing the deposit for pick-up by Dunbar are as follows:

1).The endorsed checks, currency, coin and the original and 1 copy of the deposit ticket, including an adding tape with the total of checks should be sealed in a Dunbar courier bag.

2). The bag should be sealed following the directions on the bag.  A bar Coded sticker, provided by Dunbar should be placed on top of the pre existing bar code on the bag.

3). The Dunbar courier “Customer Receipt Book” Must be completed.  Procedures are written in the book.  It is Cash Accounting’s procedure to record the deposit ticket number and the Dunbar bag number next to the amount associated with a given bag and deposit ticket.

4).  The Dunbar courier will arrive at the pick-up location within a specified 2 ½ hour window. It is imperative that the deposit be ready when the courier arrives. In addition to increased security risk, delays at any location will disrupt service to other JHU locations.

The Dunbar manifest must be signed prior to dropping off a deposit to the drop safe or giving the deposit bag to the Dunbar driver. With the exception of PBS, additional deposit bags can be requested by completing form Order Deposit bags and emailing your request to treasuryops@jhu.edu.
