Building Security Services of New York has been the trusted choice for bank security guards across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island for over four decades. As a family-owned company founded in 1982 by Joseph Ferdinando, we understand that financial institutions require the highest level of professional security services to protect assets, employees, and customers while maintaining the welcoming atmosphere essential for business success.
Our comprehensive bank security guard services cover all NYC districts, from the Financial District in Lower Manhattan to community banks in Astoria, Queens, and from commercial banking centers in Downtown Brooklyn to credit unions throughout the Bronx and Staten Island.
As proud members of both the New York and New Jersey Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), we bring industry-leading standards to every financial institution we protect. Our 40+ years of security experience serving New York City’s most prominent companies has taught us that successful bank security requires more than just a guard presence, it demands a strategic partnership built on trust, reliability, and deep understanding of banking regulations.
Unlike national security chains, our management team is always accessible. Property managers and bank operations directors know they can reach our leadership team at any hour, ensuring immediate response to security concerns. This personal accountability has made us the preferred New York security partner for banks throughout NYC’s diverse neighborhoods.

We seamlessly integrate with your existing security systems, from access control and CCTV monitoring to alarm systems and incident reporting platforms. Our guards are trained on the latest banking security technology while maintaining the human element essential for customer service excellence.
