Sberbank of Russia’s Ural branch is to introduce the Urals’ first automated safety vault in Yekaterinburg on February 13, 2008. The vault is to be located at Sberbank’s office No.11 at 27 Vosmoye Marta St.

The new self-service safe deposit will be available 24/7. One can use a special identification card (provided by the bank when a customer rents an individual vault) to get into the room, whereupon one’s individual vault is delivered into the terminal from the armored storage facility. One can take care of all one’s valuables inside the terminal, and then the vault is automatically transferred back into the storage facility. The special computer-aided control system records all the visits and operations, so any unauthorized use of the vault is virtually impossible.

The new service’s main advantage is its total reliability and easy access to one’s valuables at any given moment - without the help of a bank clerk. You can use it to keep money, important documents, jewelry, and even works of art.
