deposit box

Bank storage compartment

A deposit box is a secure container, typically at a bank, where valuables and important documents are stored.

Usually called a safe-deposit box or safety-deposit box, the shortened form appears in casual speech: I keep the deed in a deposit box at the bank.

Night deposit boxes allow after-hours bank deposits.
