Bielefeld Safe Deposits (Knightsbridge and St John’s Wood customers) and Bielefeld Safe Deposits (Chiswick customers) carry comprehensive risk insurance, which means that we are able to pass along the benefits of being insured to our customers. Subject to pre-agreed amounts, Bielefeld Safe Deposits will assume liability for loss or damage to items deposited in our safe deposit boxes.

Many of our clients have informed us that substantial savings on their insurance premiums have been achieved by storing items within our safe deposit boxes, as opposed to standard cover at home.
