When I was a kid, I remember following my mother to the bank and being led into a room full of drawers. Once we were inside, my mother would take all her precious possessions and look at them. I was curious why my mother would keep her things in this room inside a bank. She then explained to me that keeping the valuables in this place was a lot safer than in our house.
Unfortunately, when I wanted to open a safe deposit box at a bank, they will not accept any new applications due to limited space. Just recently I discovered a private safe deposit operator where I can keep my valuables securely. They are mySAFEBOX, located in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. MySAFEBOX offers a secured yet convenient facility for the safe keeping of our valuables. Unlike banks with restrictive hours, MySAFEBOX offers 24 hour / 365 days of operation for customers to access their important valuables. I usually choose to head over on the weekends where I do not have to rush after work and traffic is less hectic.
Most importantly, I’ve seen that the entire premise is protected against fire, flood and theft with 24 hour surveillance by Gurkha guards. As I walked up the vault door, the entire steps are reconstructed with metal plates to prevent from drilling in. (Trust me, it can’t get any safer than that). One thing I find it cool is that all the access are also through Finger Verification (just like in the movies). I remember my mum used her Identification Card and signature as verification when she entered the bank’s deposit box room.
There are 3 sizes of Safe Deposit Box available and they are 5″ x 10″ x 24″ (Medium Size) and 10″ x 10″ x 24″ (Large Size) and 15” x 10” x 24” (Extra Large). I personally think the Medium Size is sufficient for small family like mine, where I can keep the important documents like my kid’s Birth Certificate and the little precious cards she drew for Mothers’ Day and still have plenty of storage place to keep my valuables.
I took the 7 years package at RM3,000 inclusive of insurance and GST and they offer 1 year and 3 years package too. Feel free to check them out if you are looking to keep your valuables safely because public safety has been on a decline in Malaysia. Below are their details :-
