A bank locker is the safest place to store valuable items like cash, necessary documents, and Jewellery along with other precious things. The risks and threats of expensive items getting stolen reduce.
Several banks offer locker facilities. It is not that easy to open a bank locker. Before beginning one, you need to do a lot of homework. The bank takes the responsibility of keeping the customer’s assets secure.
The customers have to pay modest charges to the bank. Fees for the bank lockers vary with size. If you have an account with the State Bank of India, it is preferable for you to open a cabinet at your home branch.
Before you open the locker, learn about the SBI Locker charges.
