Answer:
Answer by Randy: I would recommend that you hire a trusted security consultant for this type of information. Publicizing detailed descriptions of opening and closing procedures are not usually thought of to be in the best interests of the banking community.
Answer:
Answer by Andy: Opening and closing procedures will be very customized to each bank, and each branch. The locations, entrances, exits, hours, use of guards, in-store or free standing branch all influence this. Short of a consultant, subscribe to a good security manual that will provide the guidance you need to start. At the end of the day, you need a procedure that will secure the bank's assets, the staff and your customers - and that will be workable. I've seen procedures where two employees were required to open a branch, but the manager wanted only one person there to open. Dual controls aside, that isn't workable.
