Frequently Asked Questions

A safe deposit box is the most secure way to protect your valuables and belongings. The high levels of security within the vault provides protection from loss, damage, fire, flood, vandalism and theft. A safe deposit box facility also offers complete privacy and discretion for clients along with being more accessible than a bank. Keeping valuables outside your home in an insured facility provides financial cover, while also lower home insurance costs and potential theft incidents.

At Amanat Vaults we provide secure deposit boxes for residents and visitors to Sharjah, including individuals and businesses. Our services provide a safe solution for storing valuables, whether you live here or just passing through.

The custom-built vault is reinforced with steel within all four walls. The Vault and entire store are fitted with CCTV cameras that are linked to Sharjah Police 24 hours a day. Motion sensors, night vision, audio sensors and state of the art alarm systems are fitted throughout the premises and directly linked to the central monitoring of security authorities in the Emirate. The security footage is stored on our servers and never deleted so we can access footage from any period in time. Our private rooms have additional security access measures and provide complete privacy for clients.

Biometrics access including fingerprints, palm vein and facial recognition is used to gain access through multiple security doors. All of the boxes are fitted with UL certified locks which is the industry highest standard globally.

On top of all the security layers at Amanat Vaults there are physical security guards on premises with surveillance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Obtaining a safe deposit box at banks is a very difficult task. Most banks in Sharjah do not have safe deposit box facilities, and triose with capacity do not have ready availability. They require large deposits to be made and have multiyear waiting lists.

Amanat Vaults has higher security levels deployed than a traditional bank facility and we also provide insurance for your belongings which banks do not. A safe box at a bank is accessible in limited working hours, while we offer much more freedom and accessibility.

Banks have restrictions on what can be placed in a box, such as cash and have limited box sizes. We offer greater freedom for asset storage and five different box sizes. Banks are also subject to government regulation and guidelines, while overall confidence in banks in many geographies has been continuing to decline.

At Amanat Vaults your account is accessible online; reserving a box, selecting a VIP number, booking the private room and auto-renewing your rental can all be done easily through our website. We place our emphasis on technology and integration of services.

Yes, you can select the size you want and rent your safe deposit box on our website. Biometrics need to then be registered at the store where the keys will be provided.
