Scotland Yard said they had arrested a man in the Raynes Park area of south west London.
A gang is believed to have targeted the van as it called at a branch of the HSBC in Bournemouth Road, Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, at about 10am.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has launched an investigation into the shooting which happened during a planned operation between the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad and Hampshire Constabulary.
Witnesses described one of the robbers holding a gun to the head of a security guard when he was shot by police.
Passers-by said they heard several shots being fired before up to 30 plain clothes police officers wearing Metropolitan Police caps rushed into the area.
Attempts were made to resuscitate the two men who were lying in the street in pools of blood, according to witnesses. One man died at the scene, the second in hospital, according to police.
A spokesman for HSBC confirmed no customers or staff were hurt in the incident. He said: "We are obviously very grateful because this violent incident appears to have had the potential to have been much worse."
Lucy Dibdin, spokeswoman for Hampshire Police, said that no police or bystanders were injured in the incident.
