Opening a safe deposit box is simple. You can visit any of our locations, call us at 1300 714 763, or contact us through our website. We'll schedule a consultation to understand your needs, complete the application process, and set up your biometric access. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes.

You'll need valid government-issued photo identification (driver's licence or passport), proof of address (utility bill or bank statement), and a completed application form. For business accounts, additional documentation including business registration and authorised signatory details are required.

The initial consultation and setup typically takes 30-45 minutes. This includes completing paperwork, biometric enrollment, security briefing, and a facility tour. You can access your safe deposit box immediately after setup is complete.

Our facilities feature bank-grade security with multiple layers of protection: 24/7 surveillance, biometric access control, reinforced concrete construction, seismic detection, fire suppression systems, and armed response protocols. We exceed UL Class M security standards and maintain 99.9% uptime.

We enroll multiple biometric identifiers during setup for redundancy. If the primary scanner has issues, we have backup authentication methods. Our staff can also assist with manual verification using your ID and security questions. We maintain a 99.9% biometric recognition success rate.

Only authorised individuals with enrolled biometrics can access your box. You can add additional authorised users during account setup or by visiting our facility. All access attempts are logged and monitored for security.

We offer flexible pricing with monthly and annual payment options. Prices vary by box size and location. Annual payments receive a discount. Contact us for current pricing and any available promotions. All prices include basic protection coverage and extended access hours.

In Sydney, safe deposit box costs typically range from $20 to $200 per month depending on the provider, box size and paying monthly or yearly. Authentic SAFE offers premium high-security boxes starting at $69/month (or $239/year). Our pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden fees, covering biometric security, $10,000 insurance liability, and unlimited access during business hours.

While we're located in Moorebank, we serve Sydney CBD customers with competitive pricing and superior drive-in vaultaccess. Safe deposit box costs range from $69/month to $199/month depending on size, with annual options offering better value. Unlike CBD-based facilities, we offer secure drive-in vault access and private parking - features not available in CBD locations. This makes us an ideal choice for Sydney CBD residents and businesses needing to store large or heavy items. Our location provides easier access without CBD parking challenges.

Most major Australian banks, including Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac, and NAB, have largely discontinued their safe deposit box services in recent years. This has created a gap in the market that private facilities like Authentic SAFE now fill. Unlike traditional bank boxes, we offer modern features including biometric access, extended hours, drive-in vault loading, secure private parking, and flexible access options. We provide bank-grade security with the convenience and service quality that banks no longer offer.

Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Additional services like premium protection coverage are available for additional charges. Late payment fees apply after 30 days.

You can store valuable documents, jewellery, precious metals, collectibles, digital media, and other valuable items. Prohibited items include weapons, explosives, illegal substances, perishable goods, and items that could damage other boxes or the facility.

Each box size has specific dimensions and weight limits. Our smallest boxes accommodate documents and small valuables, while larger boxes can hold substantial collections. Weight limits ensure structural integrity and safe handling. Specific limits are provided during box selection.

Use appropriate protective packaging for delicate items. We recommend acid-free storage materials for documents, padded containers for jewellery, and climate-stable materials for sensitive items. Our staff can provide packaging recommendations and supplies are available for purchase.

Basic protection up to $10,000 is included with all accounts, and additional protection options are available up to $100,000 per box. We work with leading insurance providers to offer comprehensive coverage. You can also use your existing insurance policies - many providers offer discounts for secure storage.

In the unlikely event of damage or theft, our protection coverage and claims process ensure prompt resolution. We maintain detailed access logs and comprehensive security footage. Our zero-tolerance security policy and multiple protection layers minimise risks.

Account updates can be made by visiting our facility with proper identification, calling our customer service line, or through our secure online portal. Changes to authorised users or biometric data must be done in person for security reasons.

Account closure requires 30 days written notice. You must remove all items from your safe deposit box and settle any outstanding fees. We'll schedule a final inspection and return any deposits. Partial refunds may be available for prepaid annual accounts.

We send payment reminders before the due date. If payment is late, you'll receive notices and your access may be temporarily suspended after 30 days. After 90 days of non-payment, we may remove items according to legal requirements. We work with clients to resolve payment issues.

Emergency access procedures are available with proper verification. Contact our team at 1300 714 763 and we'll arrange access with enhanced security protocols. Emergency access may require additional verification steps and documentation of the emergency situation.

We have backup verification procedures including security questions, alternative identification methods, and manual verification by our security staff. The process may take longer but ensures your access while maintaining security. Contact us immediately if you lose identification.

Secure vaults like Authentic SAFE offer bank-grade security with biometric access, 24/7 monitoring, climate control, drive-in access, and professional management - ideal for high-value items requiring maximum protection. Home safes provide convenience but lack professional security, monitoring, and climate control - vulnerable to theft, fire, and environmental damage. Bank safe deposit boxes in Sydney are largely discontinued, but when available, they typically lack modern features like biometric access, drive-in loading, secure parking, and extended hours. Authentic SAFE combines the security of bank vaults with modern conveniences that neither home safes nor traditional bank boxes provide.

Professional safe deposit box storage in Sydney offers significant advantages over home storage: bank-grade security with 24/7 monitoring and armed response, climate-controlled environments protecting against temperature and humidity damage, protection against natural disasters, fire suppression systems, professional management and access controls, insurance coverage options, and no risk of home burglary. Home storage exposes valuables to theft, fire, water damage, and environmental degradation. Authentic SAFE provides professional-grade protection that home storage cannot match.
