Keeping highly important documents in a safe deposit box prevents loss, damage or having to replace them altogether in the event of loss, damage, or theft. In addition to storing documents, safe deposit boxes are also ideal for storing cash and valuables you may not feel comfortable keeping in your home. But what can’t you store within your safe deposit box?

When opening an account

You do not have to disclose what you keep in the box, as this is completely confidential to yourself and any other people who share ownership of the safe deposit box. However, by signing the terms and conditions, it is agreed that the contents will not violate these regulations.
What can I store in my box?
Among the items commonly stored are deeds, last wills and testaments, jewellery, photographs, and letters. Usually, these are items that you don’t feel comfortable keeping at home. In addition, they may require additional protection from natural disasters such as fires and flooding.
