We offer multiple levels for the safe deposit boxes to suit you or complete insurance in our allocated, segregated storage. Just as a show of good faith, all our boxes come with $10 000 insurance cover for free.

Here at Fort Kobbe, we  take your privacy and your property very seriously, we don’t have bail in clauses or the ability to open your box for any reason, it takes a court order from a Panamanian court before we would even dream of touching your assets. In that spirit, even if you didn’t pay your box fees and after a long while, having opened your box we would probably leave everything as is, collecting dust in our open storage until you came to get it one day.

You only own what you can physically touch and access, it doesn’t help if what you own is subject to a banks opening hours. We all know that in times of financial upheaval the banks close their doors and this usually means your safety deposit box is unreachable until further notice. With us, with prior arrangement and and a small fee, we will open at 2am on Christmas morning if you need us to.
