Swiss Bank Privacy on Long Island |
 |
Imagine a Swiss Bank vault and you
immediately think of security and confidentiality. Swiss banks have
long been considered the paramount of
banking privacy and confidentiality. Did you know you can find that
kind of vault security, privacy and convenience right here on Long
Island? Zurich Depository Corporation located at 1165 Northern Blvd.
in Manhasset NY offers privacy and confidentiality policies that are
as close as you can get to a Swiss Bank in the United States. At a
time when most bank services are being directed toward electronic
transactions, this is a company that has taken the “electronic age”
in another direction. At ZDC the electronic technology has been
utilized for confidentiality and security without sacrificing the
presence of trained professional personnel. Instead of endless
waiting while a teller searches for an officer to show you into the
vault area, at ZDC you can be in and out within minutes thanks to
the high-tech security access system.
Many banks offer safe deposit
box services, but the availability of boxes are frequently limited,
especially for the larger safe deposit boxes. Many banks require
customers to have an active bank account as a pre-requisite to
opening a safe deposit box. In so doing customer provides a full
financial profile, which is directly linked to the safe deposit box.
If it is privacy and confidentiality that you are seeking, Zurich
Depository requires only a minimal client profile and holds the
information in the strictest confidence within the guidelines set
forth by the New York State Banking Department.
This unique safe deposit company,
chartered by the New York State Banking Department, has been
providing 24-hour safe deposit access to corporate and private
clients since 1983. ZDC is unique in offering the extended 24 hour
access which is not available anywhere else in the Metropolitan
area. This outstanding feature allows clients a greater flexibility
for business and personal use with swift easy access around the
clock. The convenience of being able to access a safe deposit box
after business hours is reason enough to consider Zurich Depository.
But security is also a major consideration and in that area Zurich
Depository is well equipped to serve their clients.
Security systems of this virtual
fortress include 24-hour bonded guards, closed-circuit TV system
that monitor and record activity both inside and outside the vault
area. There are also monitoring devices to track humidity and motion
detection
systems strategically located throughout the facility. Halon fire
suppression systems eliminate the concerns of water damage to
valuables from overhead sprinklers commonly used to protect against
fire. In addition to on-site security, integrated off-site security
systems monitor the vault and provide an interactive security
network. Access tot the vault is electronically controlled with the
use of pin numbers and signature identification before you ever get
to open a box with a key. The security rating is many times higher
than most banks. The facility has been rated 9R based on the
Insurance Service Office (ISO) specifications.
The needs of the clients were given
careful consideration when the vault was constructed. A Conference
Room within the vault area offers a convenient place for meetings. The Conference
Area is an ideal place to meet with
attorneys or to facilitate the appraisal of valuable possessions
such as coins, art, or jewelry. There is no charge for the use of
the Conference Area and it is available by reservation upon request.
Use of the Conference Area allows box holders the convenience of
having their valuables available for appraisal without removal from
the vault. Special access can be arranged for guests to accompany a
box holder into the vault area during business hours.
A well-appointed lobby is adorned with reflection ponds and
fountains. Beautiful planting set off the common areas and adds to
the distinctive artwork on display. It is easy to forget you are in
a vault, black smoked glass and polished steel create a James Bond
atmosphere. The ZDC building is a familiar landmark on Northern
Blvd. in a convenient business location. Video surveillance cameras
monitor the reserved parking areas in front of the building and
within the street-level garage at all times.
The cost for these luxury services
is somewhat higher than a safe deposit box at your local bank but if
you have ever looked for a large safe deposit box, you know that
they are very hard to find. ZDC has a large selection of lockers and
walk-in vaults in addition to the smaller standard size boxes. There
are short-term rental programs available but the standard lease is
for
one(1) year.
If you are looking for swift,
around the clock access, ZDC is definitely the place for you! And if
personal privacy is a primary consideration, ZDC has designed
programs to protect your privacy to the extent of the law. Upon
request, renewal notice can be held at the guard booth. No notices
need be sent to the address on file as long as the box is paid on or
before the renewal date.
