Looking for somewhere to store important documents while we have work done on the house while we are away.

BOV says they don't accept new customers for deposit boxes / safe keeping.... HSBC doesn't do them anymore. any ideas where we could store things? Only have local BOV accounts...

TIA

I looked before and seemed you're out of luck unless you are customers of a large auditing firm etc

BOV let the wrong people into some deposit boxes and these wrong people left with 100k of someone elses money, since then they are a bit skitish and for sure you'd not want to trust them with your stuff anyway
