“The recognized expert on protecting and insuring valuable personal property in a safe deposit box”
Consumers Unaware of Exposure
Front page article in Chicago Tribune defines the need for SDBIC
“Flooding reveals: Safe-deposit boxes not entirely safeChase bank's safe-deposit boxes flood and Northfield branch seeks waiver”
"Perhaps it should be called a 'potentially unsafe' deposit box," said William Hielscher a box renter. "I think people are under the mistaken impression that the bank is protecting theirvaluables the same way the bank is protecting their money.“
"I find that to be unconscionable," said Hielscher, who refused to sign the release and toldseveral other customers that they shouldn't sign it either.

“No safe deposit box, or safe, is completely protected from theft, fire, flood or other loss or damage. Consider taking precautions… Remember that, by law, FDIC insurance covers only deposit accounts. Also, do not expect the bank to reimburse you for theft or damage to the contents of your safe deposit box. If you want protection for the valuables in your safe deposit box, talk to your insurance agent.”
Quote from FDIC Website
“A box does not provide protection against every possibility of physical loss and we do not provide insurance coverage for the contents. Boxes are not designed to withstand fire, explosion, intense heat , smoke, water, building collapse , mold or similar perils and you assume the entire loss to the Box contents from such risks. We recommend that you arrange to have the contents of your Box insured by your personal insurance carrier.”
