You will receive your keys during your first appointment. We will then accompany you to your safe deposit box, so that you can store your valuables in your safe deposit box immediately. You may bring your valuables to the first appointment, so you won’t have to come for that a second time.

Yes, you can appoint your partner of a family member as co-­tenant. Your co-­tenant will have access to the safe ­deposit box with the keys, also when you are not there yourself. Would you like to appoint a co-­tenant? On the application form there you can indicate “2 tenants” under “Rent together or alone” and fill in the data of your co-­tenant.

Yes, it is possible to authorise someone. The authorised person can visit the safe ­deposit box with your keys, even when you are not there yourself. The authorised person, however, is not a co­-tenant. In the event of the demise of you or your co-­tenant, all authorisations will expire.

Your safe­ deposit box will remain accessible to your co-­tenant. Any potential authorisations will expire. Your heirs will be granted access to your safe­ deposit box when they are able to show a certificate of inheritance.

You pay a one-time deposit of €85,- per safe deposit box, for the keys and the lock. If you return all keys upon termination of the rental agreement and there are no outstanding payments, the deposit will be refunded within one month.

Most of the time you can visit you safe­ deposit box in peace and quiet. To guarantee your privacy only one tenant can enter the vault at a time. That is why we ask you to limit your visit to 10 minutes. For most visitors this is more than plenty. Do you need more time? Please let our employees know. The drawer in your safe ­deposit box is detachable. We can accompany you to a separate space where you can put your safe deposit box in order at ease. Afterwards one of our employees will escort you back to the vault where you can safely store your drawer in your safe ­deposit box.

Not all locations are easily accessible for people who have difficulty walking. Our branches in Hilversum and Maasdijk are designed for people with a disability. Contact one of our employees for the possibilities.

Your safe-deposit box is located in a heavily guarded vault that meets the strict norms of safety category 4+. This is the highest safety category in The Netherlands. This means the vault is, among other things, very well secured against fire and theft, and is monitored 24/7.

Your personal data will not be provided to third parties. The Nederlandse Kluis is strictly following the Law for Protection of Personal Data (Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens). Also, our website is only available through a 256-bits SSL-security. The data you fill in will be sent through an encrypted connection.

The shares of De Nederlandse Kluis BV are under the management of the Stichting DNK. The purpose of this foundation is to guarantee the independence of DNK and to represent the interests of our customers.

You will be the legal and economic owner of your properties at all times. In this regard it does not matter if your property is stored in the depot or your own safe deposit box. Contrary to what is common with most banks your property will not be part of the inventory in case of bankruptcy.

The Standard safe and larger is insured up to €45,000. If you wish, you can increase your cover for a fee. For €52 extra per year, you are insured up to €90,000 and for €130 extra per year, you are insured up to €150,000. The cover applies per safe. It is therefore possible to rent multiple safes to achieve even higher cover. You then spread your valuables over several safes. There is no insurance on the basic safe.

Your valuables are excellently insured at De Nederlandse Kluis. We work together with AXA XL.

You need to establish which goods are lost. These conditions are similar to those of banks and insurance companies. Through photo’s, invoices or valuation reports you can demonstrate which valuables have been lost.

DNK collects the rent between the 24th and 28th of the month. This happens once a year, in the month that the contract started. Did your contract start before the 10th of the month? Then the first rent will be collected that same month. Did you start your contract after the 10th of the month? Then your first payment will take place the next month.

If your contract is automatically renewed for the next year, the payment will take place one month before the renewal.

Should you prefer a monthly payment, this is possible of course. This will happen every month between the 24th and 28th. DNK charges 20% administrative fees for each monthly payment.

Collecting the deposit is one-off and will take place at the same moment as the first collection of the annual rent.

The period of notice is one month before the end of your rental agreement. The agreement will be renewed automatically each year with one year. If your contract ends on October 31, 2019 you would have to give notice before or on September 30, 2019.

You must cancel the rental agreement of your safe deposit box in writing. You can use the form Termination of rental agreement Safe Deposit Box for this. Send the filled-out form to:
De Nederlandse Kluis
‘s Gravelandseweg 19
1211 BN Hilversum
Or
info@denederlandsekluis.nl

Please note: always hand in your keys in person, never send them by mail!

After receiving your cancellation form, we will contact you for an appointment to return your keys. Then, the remaining deposit will be refunded to your bank account within one month. If you wish to rent a safe deposit box again in the future, it is important to know that a waiting list may be used, given the limited capacity.
