safety deposit

Secure bank box

Safety deposit describes secure storage provided by banks or similar institutions, typically in the phrase safety deposit box—a locked container kept in a vault where customers store valuables, documents, or irreplaceable items.

The more traditional term is safe-deposit, though safety deposit has become equally common through association with the word safety.
