A cash management system comprises a management terminal, a plurality of Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminals and one or more intelligent cash holding unit. There are a greater number of EPOS terminals than intelligent cash holding units, whereby one or more intelligent cash holding unit acts as a virtual cash holding unit for more than one EPOS terminal. The or each intelligent cash holding unit comprises a receiver operable to receive a signal comprising an identifier associated with a user, an access module operable, in response to the received signal, to allow access to the intelligent cash holding unit, and a reporting module operable to send a report comprising an identifier relating to the user and data relating to the contents of the cash holding unit to the management terminal. The intelligent cash holding unit can be an intelligent cash drawer unit, optionally connected to an intelligent point of sale safe.
