    There are a few banks that have safe-deposit boxes available:

    e.g. BEA - https://www.hkbea.com/pdf/en/SDB%20B...EN.pdf?noembed

    Unfortunately some of these are at locations the bank has rented the branch premises and it has been known that customers might get a letter asking them to move their contents to another location.

    Don't write off all banks and all locations. You might just find one that meets your requirements.

    Do you really think that Bankcomm and CCB have availability at all the listed branches?

    Get a box at a headquarters branch. Unlikely to move.

    if you rent a place here then buy a safe and bolt it in
    if you use hotels then they have that facility

    Thanks everyone. I just wonder does anyone have experience with safety box services with Guardforce? I'm particularly interested because they have long service hours (unlike banks) 7am to 11pm. If I remember well, daily too!

    Never heard of insurance for safe deposit boxes. Or are they covered through household insurance?
