Beyond traditional home security and insurance policies, a safe deposit box service offers a distinct advantage by providing a secure and accessible vault for your most treasured possessions, including documents, jewellery, and irreplaceable items.

This article examines the multifaceted benefits of a safe deposit box, demonstrating how it can be a prudent investment for businesses and individuals seeking to protect their financial and personal security, and ensure the long-term value of their most important assets.

Risks From Traditional Safe Deposit Boxes

Home Safe Deposit Box Burglary

Home Burglary: A Threat to Your Assets

Home burglaries are a reality that can put your valuable possessions at serious risk. In the United States alone, over one million burglaries occur each year, with more than half involving home invasions. Singapore, though a low-crime country, is not immune. Just in 2024 housebreakings in landed homes resulted in substantial losses amounting to S$3.85 million. Professional safe deposit box services are therefore the trusted choice for many seeking the highest level of security, providing business-grade protection for valuable assets.

Natural Disasters: Protect Yourself from Uncontrollable Events

Natural disasters are another considerable threat to items stored at home. In the U.S., around 15 million homes face the impact of natural disasters annually. Singapore’s fortunate location in Southeast Asia—outside the Pacific Ring of Fire—means it experiences fewer natural disasters like typhoons, floods, and earthquakes. This geographical advantage positions Singapore as an ideal location for storing valuable assets safely, which is why individuals and businesses could consider offshore safe deposit services.

Fires: Protect Against Property Loss

Fires pose a significant risk for valuables kept at home. Residential properties typically lack professional-grade fire protection systems, such as sprinklers or advanced alarms that quickly detect and respond to fire incidents. That’s why safe deposit service providers like STARVAULT mitigate this risk by offering a professional gas suppression system in the vault, a water sprinkler fire protection system, and a fire alarm system in the building.

The True Value of a Safe Deposit Box Service: How They Enhance Security

Achieve true peace of mind knowing your valuables are secure. STARVAULT provides unparalleled protection, safeguarding your most prized possessions within a state-of-the-art facility designed with the highest security standards. Here’s how our safe deposit boxes elevate the safety of your precious assets:

Stringent Security Processes

While safe deposit boxes from banks and security companies such as CISCO offer standard security features like dual-key locking systems and CCTV monitoring, STARVAULT goes far beyond these standards, providing unmatched security features for even greater protection:

  • Multi-layered Access Control: Access to the safe deposit box requires not just one but several layers of security checks. STARVAULT utilises face recognition, an access card, a PIN code, a fingerprint scan, and a physical key to ensure that only authorised users can retrieve their box.
  • Steel-Reinforced Concrete Vaults: STARVAULT’s boxes are housed in a custom-built, steel-reinforced concrete vault that restricts staff and customer access, ensuring that no one else is near your box at any time.
  • Enhanced OTP Verification: Any request for changes, such as adding an authorised user or updating contact details and moving out of your box, requires OTP (One-Time Password) verification from the box owner, further safeguarding unauthorised access.

Professional & State-of-the-Art Security Features

Gunnebo Group's Clients

STARVAULT boasts a world-class system from Gunnebo Group, which has designed and installed automated deposit box systems for renowned banks and institutions around the world, including HSBC, Bank of China, and Standard Chartered, among others. 

  • 24/7 Monitored Surveillance: STARVAULT’s storage area is continuously monitored by CCTV cameras, strategically placed at every corner of the vault, with an on-site security guard. This constant surveillance means your valuables are watched over, round the clock.
  • Multi-Layered Access Control System: A 5-step process—face recognition, card access, fingerprint, a PIN code, and physical key—is required before you can access your stored items.
  • Robot-Assisted Box Retrieval: STARVAULT’s secure storage system is designed to eliminate insider access. Your box is transported directly to you in a private, secure room by a robotic system, which means no staff member can handle or access your box.
