How to secure your valuables
Document Storage.
At most branches, you can ask the Bank to secure
non-monetary value paper documents on your
behalf such as certificates and passports.
These items are held in a bank-provided durable
packet and will hold A4 documents without folding.
Safe Deposit Boxes.
At selected branches, we can usually safeguard
larger items such as jewellery and other valuables
for you.
Your valuables are held in Bank-provided safe
deposit boxes, usually 6.5 cm x 25 cm x 53 cm.
These are housed in specially constructed
security modules.
Access to the module to remove the inner box is
by double key, with one key held by you and the
second key held by the Bank.

banks such HSBC offer multi-currency accounts ... has anyone ever used
it/them and does that work for everyday life's expenses? also, are
safety
deposit boxes a common service that the banks provide in AUS? thank
you!
Not sure what your purpose for the bank accout is, but travelling to
Australia is best managed with a Debit Card on your own bank. ATMs are
everwhere!
Safety Deposit Boxes are only in major cities and cost the Earth!

i'd like to keep my cash in USD for as long as i can taking withdrawals in
AUD as i need them ... i am just trying to ride out the inevitable
devaluation of the AUD for as long as i can ... there is no point of
converting it all to AUD while it is still strong just so i can deposit
into
a bank for safekeeping ... stashing it under the mattress is not an option
how much is a typical safety deposit box? and would one be available in
the
Brisbane area?
regards.
