  6. KEY PLACEMENT • Guard Key • During Lobby Hours – the guard key must be in the designated area of the MSR. • After Lobby Hours – the guard key must be locked in a designated place in the vault overnight. • Keys To Non-Rented Boxes • During Lobby Hours – keys to all non-rented boxes must be in a locked area located in New Members or Teller area. • After Lobby Hours – keys to all non-rented boxes must be in a locked area or compartment.

  7. LETTING THE MEMBER INTO THE BOX(you will need the guard key) • Smile and greet member • Ask member for the safe deposit box # • You can locate this on FSP if they do not know it • Find entrance card which should be listed in numerical order • ALWAYS verify name on card to person in front of you • Have the member sign the entrance card on the next available line • Compare signature to previous signature • You can always ask for ID when in doubt • Employee will complete the date and time of entrance and their initials on the entrance card

  8. LETTING THE MEMBER INTO THE BOX • Insert guard key (this key slot is always the one closet to the hinges) • Insert the member key and turn both keys at the same time. • Pull the safe deposit box door open • Pull out the safe deposit box (always in full view of the member) • Leave member in vault to give them privacy or escort them to the security booth. • When member leaves, immediately view box to make sure that the door has been closed and locked by the member. PLEASE NOTE: The member can only get into their safe deposit box during business hours. There should be no exceptionsto this rule.

  9. WHAT IF THERE ARE EXTRA PEOPLE ENTERING THE BOX? • All non-renters entering our safe deposit vault with the member must sign the “Non-Renter Vault Entry Record” book. • If a child is not old enough to sign then just have the parent place their name in the book and state the age of the child next to their name. • WHY?

  10. LOCATION OF BOX • If a stool or chair is required to gain entrance into the safe deposit box……..NEVER, NEVER, NEVER let a member stand on the stool or chair. Only the employee can use these items to gain entrance to the box. We don’t want to see this!!!

  11. SECURITY BOOTHS • If the member decides to use the security booth (room) and asks you to carry the box to the room, always carry it in full view of the member. NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO THE MEMBER!!! • Once the member has left the security booth, check the room immediately to make sure that no contents were left behind. (also check the waste container)

  12. CLOSING THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX • Refunds are not allowed on a safe deposit box. • The credit union will allow a credit to be applied to a different size box at the same location or a transfer to a different safe deposit box at another location. • Credits will be provided by the office that opens the new safe deposit box.

  13. DEATH OF AN OWNER • The Deputy or POA may no longer have access to the box upon death of an owner • If the box is owned by more than one person, then the living owner(s) may enter the box at any time after the death

  14. DEATH OF AN OWNER • If the box is owed by one person then the credit union is limited to what can be taken from the box and by whom: • Access is available to immediate family members only (parents, siblings, children, spouses) • Family member must show proof of death and their picture ID (place in member file) • CCCU employee must accompany the family member to the box and observe what is taken • Family member can only retrieve the following: • Will • Insurance papers (only if the family member is the beneficiary) • Burial plot agreement • We need to fill out the “Receipt for Deceased Member” form and have family member sign. • The Executor may retrieve any items from the box

  15. FINAL WORDS • The Credit Union is counting on you to perform correct Safe Deposit Box procedures • Your precautions could prevent the Credit Union from a law suit • Your precautions could save the Credit Union bad publicity • When in doubt, seek manager or supervisor approval and/or consult the Safe Deposit Box manual located in each office
