Silver Bullion - What you should do when you decide to store
silver in a Safe Deposit Box (Safety Deposit Box)
Here is what you should do when you decide to store silver in a safe deposit box (safety
deposit box):
-
Banks vs. Depositories: You have to decide whether you’re
going to store your silver in a safe deposit box (safety
deposit box) at a bank or in one at a private safe deposit vault (depository)? Your answer to this question
is important, especially considering that you can increase the risk or possibility of losing your
silver by making the wrong choice.

In fact, to make it really easy for you, never store your
silver in a safe deposit box (safety
deposit box) at a bank. It is best to make use of private safe deposit vaults or depositories which are owned, managed and
maintained by private companies:
Firstly, depositories normally offer better
security features than most banks. Security features which include: Security guards, closed circuit
televisions, control rooms, fingerprint scanners, seismic detectors, dual key systems, bulletproof glass, armed
response, etc.
Secondly, experience has shown that many banks
are not keen to make payouts relating to the loss of valuables, even when insured, when stored in a safe
deposit box (safety deposit box) at their premises.
Thirdly, in the instance where the bank or
financial institution where your silver is stored goes bankrupt or is declared
insolvent, you face the real possible of losing your silver, especially when the contents are not insured.
If you read the fine print, you will see that by signing the application form for a safe deposit box (safety
deposit box) at a bank, you in essence give them the right to make a claim over your assets stored on their
premises. This is not the case with depositories that are independently insured and
make no claims over the assets stored.

Fourthly, depositories specialize in providing not only the
safest possible environment for the storage of your silver (in terms of security, maintaining the
correct room temperature, etc.), but it’s their primary function to provide such a storage solution. This
function is secondary at best at banks, especially if one considers the numerous cases where safe deposit boxes (safety
deposit boxes) had been stolen from bank vaults. In most of the cases the people affected received little or
no compensation from the banks involved, and when they did, it was in the form of fiat money or non-redeemable paper notes
which simply doesn’t offer the same qualities and protection as physical silver.
