My local Bank closed. When I looked to get a new safety deposit Box, I was surprised banks are starting to get away from them. A lot of banks I checked still have them but no longer rents to new customers. I got one at a different location but already getting letters for me to consider getting rid of it. They recommended I check with self storage places in my area. Sounds like they are the ones taking over the safety deposit box bizz. Did not sound like a safe option to me.
I asked the bank why they are no longer offing it. They said the vast majority of box renters lose the keys and it just too big of a deal and expense for a locksmith, they customer has to be their, Just not worth it.
