Safe deposit boxes are traditionally most commonly found in banks. The safe deposit boxes offered by BullionStar are private vault safe deposit boxes which are not connected to any bank. There are important differences between safe deposit boxes hosted by banks and our BullionStar safe deposit boxes hosted in our private vault.
BullionStar is a privately owned company. We are not a bank and we are not a financial institution. With bail-ins legislated in many countries and with the banking sector becoming increasingly fragile due to ever increasing debt levels, it’s difficult to know what would happen to safe deposit boxes during a large bank crises or bank run. Legally, the bank may not be allowed to seize or freeze your box contents, but if the doors to the bank are closed, you may not be able to access your box contents when you need it the most.
Banks collect a large variety of data and have access to your private and financial information. BullionStar does not have access to your private and financial information. We only have knowledge about the safe deposit box lease agreement and we do not share this information with anyone.
Banks are closing safe deposit boxes at an alarming rate. Banks focus on selling paper products and are not interested in handling physical and tangible assets. Many banks are phasing out their safe deposit box services meaning that they are not paying attention to the maintenance and security of their facilities which may pose a threat to your box contents.
Banks do not offer insurance for safe deposit boxes.
Some banks do not allow customers to store money, currency, coins or bullion in their boxes. BullionStar allows you to store money, currency, coins, bullion and most other legal items in your box.
