I was just reading The Straits Times a few days ago when I came across this article, “Time to part ways with safe deposit boxes” by Lee Su Shyan, the Business Editor of The Straits Times. The journalist discussed some considerations one should take when placing valuables in safe deposit boxes situated in banks. It also mentioned some of the benefits of purchasing a safe deposit box and placing it in your home instead.

Garnering inspiration from this article, I have decided to do some research to help you decide if you should consider purchasing a personal safe deposit box.

 

Access 24/7

If you put your valuable items in a bank’s safe, you would need to adhere to the opening hours of the bank. This can be a hindrance, especially when you urgently require some important items in the safe. By purchasing a personal safe deposit box, you can access it anytime you would like. This can also help to save a trip down to your bank!

 

Annual Rental Rate

Banks can charge an annual rental rate of $150 – $500 for a safe deposit box, depending on the size. The costs can definitely add up, especially if you are thinking of keeping these valuable items safe for a long period of time. Therefore, if you were to purchase a personal safe deposit box, you can actually save some money. In fact, some of the personal safe deposit boxes at Eezee go for as low as $179, which may be cheaper than the annual rental rates that banks will charge you.

 

Reduction of Rental Services

Due to many affordable safe deposit boxes in the market, there has been a significant reduction of safe deposit box rental services in Singapore. This means that it will be harder for you to find a reliable safe deposit box near your house or work.

 

With these considerations in mind, the Eezee team has curated three various safe deposit boxes to fit your needs and budgets.
