Chase Bank Closing Safe Deposit Boxes in Del Mar? A Secure, Local Alternative Awaits at Refuge Vault
If you've recently noticed that Chase Bank is closing its safe deposit boxes in Del Mar Village, you're not alone. Across the country, major banks – including Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America – continue phasing out safe deposit services, leaving clients scrambling to find secure alternatives.
For residents of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, and San Diego County, there is now a better, more secure, private, and long-term solution right in your community: Refuge Vault in Del Mar.
🔒 Why Banks Are Eliminating Safe Deposit Boxes
Many banks are moving away from offering safe deposit boxes due to:
✔ Declining physical branch footprints
✔ Increased regulatory and liability concerns
✔ Shift toward digital banking
✔ Limited profitability of traditional vault services
This has left countless clients searching for a safe way to store valuables such as:
Cash & precious metals
Jewelry & family heirlooms
Passports & personal documents
Cryptocurrency cold storage
Collectibles & high-value assets
🏦 The Problem with Traditional Bank Safe Deposit Boxes
Bank vaults often come with limitations, including:
❌ Restricted access (only during bank hours)
❌ Limited privacy
❌ No insurance provided for stored contents
❌ Forced box closures during branch shutdowns

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Are safe deposit boxes completely going away?
Not entirely, but many major banks are permanently discontinuing them, especially at high-cost real estate branches like Del Mar.
Is a private vault better than a bank safe deposit box?
For many clients, yes—private vaults offer better privacy, consistent access, higher security measures, and no risk of sudden closure.

🚨 If Your Bank Is Closing Your Safe Deposit Box, Don’t Wait
Some branch closures offer clients only 30 to 60 days to remove belongings. With high demand for new storage options and limited local availability, early action is critical.
📌 Secure your new vault space before availability runs out.
