Welcome to Metropolitan Safe Deposits
I am Christopher Barrow
Chief Executive of Metropolitan Safe Custody Group
Our principal business Metropolitan Safe Deposits Limited
Is the largest independent provider
Of its type in the UK
And has a 30-year history
Solely in the safe deposit industry
What are the benefits of renting a Safety Deposit Box?
It is usually a safer option
Compared to storing your valuables at home
The trend of domestic burglaries has been rising
And the installation of home safety provides
Only limited protection
Since owners can be forced to open safes
Under threat of physical violence
Is that why home insurance has risen?
Yes the corollary of this rise in the number of burglaries
Is that insurance premiums have risen very sharply
So the safe deposit box provides
A convenient method of avoiding both
The risks and costs of having valuables at home
Is your business regulated?
Metropolitan Safe Deposits is regulated
By the Financial Services Authority (the FSA)
For the purposes of Anti-Money Laundering and
Counter-Terrorism Financing
We take our regulated status very seriously
By ensuring that we get to know
Our customers and their needs
How much is insurance?
The costs are reasonable
And we are always looking for ways
Of reducing insurance costs
Many of our clients have informed us
That substantial savings on their insurance premiums
Have been achieved by storing items within our boxes
As opposed to standard cover at home
