Can I share a safe deposit box with someone else?
Yes, you can designate a family member or partner as a co-tenant. The co-tenant will receive a key to the safe deposit box and is authorized to access it in your absence. Both are contractually considered equal primary tenants.
Adding a co-tenant must be done in person at your branch, in the presence of both the tenant and the co-tenant. Both must present a valid ID, such as an ID card.
Are there any additional costs besides the safe deposit box rental?
In addition to the safe deposit box rental, a one-time deposit of €85 per box is required for the keys and lock. If you return all keys and there are no outstanding payments at the end of the rental agreement, the deposit will be refunded within one month.
You have free and unlimited access to your safe deposit box during opening hours. If you wish to access it outside these hours, this can be arranged. In this case, CitySafes charges an administrative fee of €35.
If you lose one or both keys, replacement costs will be charged: €300 (plus VAT) for one key, and €600 (plus VAT) for two keys.
Is it possible to rent a safe deposit box for business purposes?
Yes, of course. Please bring a current extract from the company register to your appointment. This document must be no older than three months and must include your name.
