After work today, I went to a
Chase bank on my way home to open a safe deposit box. These are individually-secured containers, usually held within a larger safe or bank vault. Safe deposit boxes are generally located in banks, post offices, or other institutions. Safe deposit boxes are used to store valuable possessions, such as gemstones, precious metals, currency, marketable securities, important documents such as wills, property deeds, and birth certificates, or computer data storage that need protection from theft, fire, flood, tampering, or other reasons. In the typical arrangement, a renter pays the bank a fee for the use of the box, which can be opened only with production of an assigned key, the bank's own guard key, the proper signature, and perhaps a code of some sort. Since I have a Chase Premier Platinum Account at Chase, I could open a small safe deposit box without a fee (3” x 5” box or smaller for no annual fee). I didn't put anything in the safe deposit box of value, just paperwork and documents. The image below is not my personal safe deposit box but an example of what one would look like.
What did you do today?
