Insurance Producers

person Long-term customer loyalty is worth far more than any short-term gain.

We proudly work with agents and brokers, and offer a highly competitive commission structure. If your clients are storing important documentation, jewelry, photos, collectibles, art, precious metals or any other items of personal or financial value; you now have the ability to offer a new, unique and complimentary insurance solution for protecting your their valuable assets.

Store It. Insure It.

SDBIC’s patented, consumer-friendly insurance covers all legal property stored inside a safe deposit box or vault unit, without requiring any upfront disclosure or appraisals of the contents being stored. There are no deductibles paid upon a claimed loss.

It is more comprehensive in coverage than any comparable homeowner’s policy schedule or rider, and is also significantly less expensive. SDBIC is also the only insurance in the market today that provides coverage for important documents, photos and digital storage devices, as well as cash and other forms of currency.

Most importantly, policies up to $500k can be purchased instantly online in less than 5 minutes, with coverage effective the very next day.

The SDBIC Difference

A typical homeowner’s policy will provide coverage for certain property stored in a safe deposit box, but it will not cover cash, precious metals or several other classes of assets. It may also exclude losses due to certain perils like hurricanes, earthquakes and flood–the #1 cause of damage and destruction to box and vault contents.

In addition, if there are single items with a value over a specified amount–typically $1k–your client must provide some proof of value, either a relatively current purchase receipt or a formal appraisal. You submit the information to your underwriter and wait for the quote.

This can be a frustrating, inconvenient and time consuming process for you and your client that often ends in sub-standard coverage. With SDBIC, there now exists a way to avoid all of this, and put forth a better solution in the process.

SDBIC Brings Value to You & Your Customers

Advising your clients to make the smartest decision–get the greatest insurance coverage at the lowest possible price point–increases trust, loyalty and retention. It also offers you a clear and distinct competitive advantage when attempting to secure new business.

Clients maintain complete confidentiality of and access to their treasured possessions while ensuring they are protected and insured in the best way possible.

Asking the Right Questions

Your clients are looking for you to provide the insurance needed to protect them against economic loss as a result of the damage or destruction of their property. When it comes to safe- storage solutions and the protection of valuable assets, here are some key questions that could help determine if and why SDBIC is right for your clients:

  • Where is that property stored?
  • Do they use a safe deposit box?
  • Do they understand the homeowner’s coverage limitations applicable to that property?
  • If they currently have vault coverage, would the broader, more convenient and far more flexible coverage offered by SDBIC represent a better value for your client than the existing coverage from your homeowner’s carrier?

If they are carrying a personal-article floater for property they do not normally wear or display, analyze whether your clients could save on their annual premium costs by renting a $45 safe deposit box and carrying SDBIC insurance, which starts at $25 for $5k of coverage.

SDBIC may not work for all your clients, but it is an option that should be considered and evaluated, particularly in today’s environment where competition is so fierce and customer loyalty is critical to growth and long term success.

How to obtain Coverage for your Clients

  3. It takes less than 5 minutes and the policy is immediately e-mailed to the address provided.

Customer & Partner Testimonial

  • “Despite common misperceptions, items kept in safe deposit boxes are not insured by the bank or FDIC. We are encouraged that many banks across the country have begun offering this kind of insurance as an enhancement to their current safe deposit box services.”

  • “That heirloom jewelry, those high-value baseball cards stored in a safe-deposit box–you think they’re insured from mishap? Unlike bank deposits, they’re not…”
