Personal & Institutional Safekeeping
Safe Deposit Boxes
Private, bank-grade safe deposit boxes in a range of sizes, held within KaratShield's monitored vault network for documents, heirlooms, and valuables you want close at hand and completely secure.
Overview
A Private Compartment Inside a Bank-Grade Vault
A KaratShield safe deposit box is an individually keyed compartment held within the same reinforced vault chamber that protects our institutional bullion and asset holdings. Boxes range from compact letter-sized drawers to trunk-format compartments, making the service equally suited to a single set of legal documents or a substantial collection of family jewelry.
Our approach differs from a typical bank branch box in one key respect: access is governed by dual-key custody and biometric verification, meaning no single party — including KaratShield staff — can ever open a box unaccompanied. Every entry is logged, time-stamped, and reviewable on request.
Because access needs rarely follow banking hours, account holders may schedule entry to the vault 24 hours a day by appointment, and review contents privately in one of our enclosed viewing suites rather than at an open counter.
