Yes. By signing our rental agreement you are authorizing WECU to automatically deduct the annual rent from the account specified on the form. You will receive a mailed notice the month that your rent is due reminding you of the amount and when it will come out of your checking or savings account. After the first year, your account will be billed on the last business day of the month in which you opened the box.
Your rental agreement specifies that you will pay your annual rent one year in advance. If this rent is not paid on the specified due date it is delinquent. We will block your access to the safe deposit box until the rent is paid. We will attempt to notify you by mail at the address listed on your account.
If there is no response, we will take the prescribed action in accordance with state law. Any expenses directly or indirectly incurred in this collection process may be added to your past due rent and your account may be turned over to a credit and/or collection agency.
Safe Deposit Box availability operate on a first-come, firstserve basis. When a box becomes available for you, you will be notified. After 15 days of inaction, it is assumed that you do not want it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
No institution can guarantee 100% vault security. Vaults are merely “resistant” to fire, floods, burglary and other unavoidable perils.
The contents of your box are not covered unless you insure them yourself. To ensure privacy and security, WECU should never know what’s in your box.
While there is no law against storing money or guns in a safe deposit box, most rental agreements prohibit the storage of explosives, intoxicating liquors, narcotics or any property of an illegal, malodorous or destructive nature. (Please see rental agreement.)
