Why a box on the Swiss side when you live in France?

Many cross-border workers and French residents choose a box in Switzerland for several concrete reasons:

  • No bank reporting. We are not a financial institution: your box remains fully confidential and independent of any bank.
  • Independence from the banking system. The closure, merger or failure of a bank has no impact on access to your box.
  • Rental open to non-residents. You can rent a box even if you do not live in Switzerland, subject to a simple identity check.
  • Discretion and security. Access strictly by appointment, continuous surveillance, dual locking system.

Can a cross-border worker or French resident rent a box?

Yes. Safe Deposit S.A. rents boxes to Swiss residents, expatriates, cross-border workers and non-residents. At signing, you must present a valid official photo ID document (passport or ID card) as well as a proof of residence (a copy of a utility bill, phone bill, or similar document showing your name and address). Contact us if you have any questions about your specific situation.

Practical access, by appointment

For reasons of discretion and security, access to the boxes is strictly by appointment. You arrange a time at your convenience, then come with your personal key and a form of ID. A member of our team escorts you to the vault room, then leaves you alone to access your compartment.
