Simplifying Cash Management for a National Retail Icon
As a beloved brand with ~950 stores across North America, Claire’s has been a leader in jewelry and accessories for decades. Following its acquisition by Ames Watson, the company set out to simplify operations across every part of the business and one of the first priorities was improving cash management, historically one of the most complex and fragmented processes in retail.
Store teams were losing hours each week making deposit trips to banks, reconciliation was inconsistent, and hundreds of bank accounts across multiple financial institutions created unnecessary overhead. The need for an efficient, modern solution was clear.
Why Claire’s Chose Clip
After evaluating options, Clip Money quickly emerged as the ideal partner to modernize Claire’s cash handling operations. As the operator of North America’s only multi-bank cash deposit system, Clip provides access to over 8,000 deposit-accepting locations conveniently located in malls and retail centers, exactly where Claire’s stores operate.
Clip’s platform offered a single, intuitive system for deposits, change orders, and real-time visibility of cash across all stores, eliminating the need for multiple banking relationships and manual reconciliation. The result was a more consistent, controlled, and cost-effective process from store level to corporate finance and accounting functions.
“Speed to deployment was absolutely critical for us. We needed a fast and flawless rollout to maintain continuity of critical operational processes, like cash deposits. Clip quickly mobilized, provided training for our store leaders, and successfully deployed nearly 800 locations in a matter of days. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and executional efficiency gave us confidence throughout the transition and truly set them apart from other partners.”

A Rapid, Seamless Rollout
From the initial meeting to full deployment, Clip’s customer support and implementation team completed the nationwide rollout in less than three weeks. Each store received direct onboarding support and training to ensure a smooth transition, all while maintaining business continuity during one of the busiest retail periods of the year.
With Clip’s end-to-end cash management platform, Claire’s gained:
Real-time visibility into every store’s cash activity
Secure, nearby deposit access via the Clip network
Faster reconciliation and reduced errors
Operational simplicity across hundreds of locations
This transformation has allowed Claire’s store associates to stay focused on customers, rather than losing time on deposit runs, while corporate teams now enjoy complete oversight and reporting through Clip’s digital Cashboard.
Results That Redefine Cash Management
By partnering with Clip, Claire’s achieved in weeks what once took months of manual coordination; all while improving efficiency, security, and transparency.
With Clip’s ClipDrop, ClipATM, and ClipCenter deposit options and ClipChange delivery services, Claire’s now benefits from a cash management system that’s faster, smarter, and built to scale, setting a new benchmark for operational excellence in retail.
“We’re excited to partner with Claire’s, a brand that is both iconic and widely loved. Our goal is to help them unlock greater efficiencies by keeping store associates closer to their customers, while simplifying reconciliation and cash management.”
— Joseph Arrage, Co-Founder and CEO, Clip Money
