Step 3. Complete the application paperwork
Bring one photo ID and one proof of address for each account holder (up to four people).
Accepted Photo ID (Choose One):

Step 4: Enroll in our security system.
Once your safe deposit box is assigned, your details are linked to it, ensuring only you or an authorized nominee can access it.
For added security, we register your photograph and iris biometric details in our system.
Step 5: Complete Payment & Access Your Box
Make your initial payment using debit or credit card. Extended term fees are paid via Direct Debit.
You’ll receive the only two keys to your box and a demonstration on how to access it. Your valuables can be stored immediately.
Important Notes:
- Safe deposit boxes are available by approved application only.
- Applications must be made in person, and applicants must be 18+.
- We do not keep copies of your keys or offer a key-holding service.
- Rental agreements auto-renew annually unless one month’s notice is given before renewal.
Following these steps ensures maximum security and discretion for your valuables.
We do not hold the contents of your Safe Deposit Box on your behalf and have no knowledge of its contents. Storage is at your own risk, and we exclude all liability for loss or damage.
Safe Deposit Boxes are not a replacement for insurance—we strongly recommend insuring your valuables for their full value.
Before the end of each 12-month period, we will contact you regarding renewal and provide an invoice for the next term. You must either:
Pay the invoice to continue your contract, or
Provide written notice within 28 days if you wish to terminate at the end of the current period.
