Accepted Answer

Yes, Safebox24 has a number of insurance policies that protect customers' lockers and their contents, vault facilities and depository activities.

Currently, the customer is obliged to purchase a policy covering a deposit box with a limit of PLN 10,000.00. It is an insurance against all risks. The customer may raise this limit to PLN 50,000.00 or PLN 100,000.00 or PLN 250,000.00 for an additional fee.  In excess of PLN 250,000.00, the customer may insure the contents of the box, but will have to disclose its contents and present a reliable valuation. After being insured, each box receives an insurance certificate for a specified amount and period. Ergo Hestia is the insurer of vaults and deposit activity of Safebox24.
