PREMIUM SAFE DEPOSITS

Seal Chartered Bank -- Safe Deposit Service:


Enjoy peace of mind by securing valuable items/documents in our secure fireproof boxes as well as the utmost confidentiality. Various sizes of safe deposit boxes are available to you depending on individual needs.


Key Takeaways

  • Safety deposit boxes are designed to withstand natural disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
  • Never store the only copy of an important document in a safe deposit box.
  • Safe deposit boxes are especially useful for people who aren’t comfortable with digital storage.
  • Although it's wise to have a co-lessor for your box, think carefully about assigning the best person.

Key Benefits of Our Safe Deposit Service

  • We provide 24/7 premium security and surveillance on your valuables
  • Our vaults have been fitted with safety deposit boxes that are reinforced to withstand fire, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.
  • There is no limit to the volume of valuables that can be deposited.
  • We provide uttermost confidentiality and anonymity from third parties who may be keeping tabs on you and your valuables.

Steps to Get a Safe Deposit Box:

  • Decide what you want to store: This dictates the box size you'll need.
  • Decide who can access the box: Multiple people (such as spouses) can rent a single safe deposit box. Co-renters can access the box without other co-renters present. Choose trustworthy co-renters; ***We aren't liable if a co-renter removes something from the box without your approval.***
  • Make an appointment with the bank: Federal law requires financial institutions to confirm your identity—typically by verifying your name, address, birthdate, Social Security number and photo ID. Ask what documentation to bring.
  • Open the account and sign the agreement: Safe deposit box rental agreements generally last one year, renewing annually. We may bill you or withdraw the rental fee from your account automatically. Keep your contact information current so you don't miss notifications of payments due.
  • Get your key and put your items in the safe deposit box: Make a list of everything in the box. Photograph the items. Keep the list, photos and safe deposit box keys secure at home.
