More Room for What Matters: MySafe Expands Large Safe Deposit Box Capacity in Dubai
New Large 170mm boxes now available at Kempinski Palm Jumeirah, Grand Hyatt Oud Metha and Dubai Airport Freezone.
Over the past months, MySafe Dubai has seen an unprecedented rise in requests for our Large safe deposit boxes. Families, professionals and businesses across the UAE have been asking the same question: where can I keep more of what matters, safely and privately?
We listened. Today we are pleased to announce that MySafe has expanded its Large (170mm) safe deposit box capacity at three of our most in-demand Dubai branches: Kempinski Hotel & Residences Palm Jumeirah, Grand Hyatt Hotel Oud Metha and Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZA). New boxes are available to reserve now, but given current demand, we encourage clients to secure theirs early.
Why Demand for Secure Storage Has Grown
Periods of regional tension naturally lead people to take a closer look at how well their most important possessions are protected. In recent months, many UAE residents have told us they want greater certainty about where their passports, property deeds, gold, jewellery, watches and family documents are kept, and that they want to be able to reach them at any hour, without depending on banking hours or appointments.
This is not about fear. It is about preparedness. Keeping your essential documents and valuables in one secure, insured, always-accessible place means that whatever the circumstances, you know exactly where everything is and you can retrieve it in minutes.
As requests grew, our Large boxes, the most spacious option we offer, became the most sought-after size across our network. Clients needed room not just for a passport and a ring, but for complete document sets for the whole family, jewellery collections, watch boxes, gold and heirlooms. Expanding Large box capacity was the clearest way to meet that need.
If you are weighing up the risks of keeping valuables at home, our guide on why high-value assets are no longer safe at home in the UAE explains the issue in detail.
The MySafe Large Box: Our Most Spacious Safe Deposit Box
The Large safe deposit box is 170mm deep and, like every MySafe box, wider and longer than an A4 sheet of paper. It is designed for clients who need genuine space:
- Complete family document sets: passports, Emirates IDs, birth and marriage certificates, wills and title deeds
- Gold bars, coins and bullion
- Jewellery collections stored in their original cases
- Luxury watches in their presentation boxes
- Company seals, contracts, share certificates and corporate records
- Heirlooms, collectibles and external hard drives holding important data
