Frequently Asked Questions
I have a Safe Deposit Box and have lost my key? What do I do?
The Customer Service Representative at the branch where your box is located will be happy in assisting you and ordering a new key. There will be a small service charge and in most cases, a new box will be opened and you will receive two new keys. This is done to avoid the hassle of drilling into the box in the event you lose the second key. Since the bank does not keep any master keys - we cannot get into the box.
I would like to have my family have access to my SDB. Is that possible?
Only family or persons whose names have been entered onto the Safe Deposit Box contract will be allowed to access the Safe Deposit Box. If you wish to have family access your Safe Deposit Box, you will simply be required to include their names on the contract form or add them at the branch at a later time. At any time they would like to access the SDB, they will need to bring a picture ID and the key.
Can I leave my box in trust or will?
No. For federal reasons, Safe Deposit Boxes are not to be entered into trusts or wills.
How safe are the Safe Deposit Boxes?
You have the only 2 keys available for the Safe Deposit Box at Peoples First Community Bank. Therefore, they are very safe. PFCB employees do not have access to the Boxes and access will not be granted to anyone unless their names are on the agreement and they have the key. The Safe Deposit Boxes are water resistant and fire resistant. They are not FDIC insured nor are the contents insured.
