Not if you take your box to the little privacy room, at least that's the case in my bank. Also, I keep my cash in envelopes of 10K in the box, so cash is never visible.Originally Posted by Three
I have never been held up in a life of 69 years to-date. There are no statistics available and I trust the math. Therefore, without a statistica! Report, I am not going to allow myself to be paranoid.
Worrying about a loss and taking action is no different than taking BJ insurance at TC-12.
Didn't know it was a 'safe' not 'safety' deposit box. I actually like learning new(?) stuff like that, so thanks.
When I opened mine at BOFA, I read the agreement and it didn't say anything about not having cash in the box, but it reminded me several times it is not insured. I'm a secondary key holder thingie on a SDB at a Wells Fargo (at least I think it's a WF, haven't been there in forever), but never read the agreement, at least not with a fine toothed comb. The primary on that account told me they don't allow cash -- but I'm not sure if that's part of the agreement contract or if that person just thought you couldn't keep cash in it.
I don't know if they're all the same, but the "small" box is an awful size. It's like a half inch too short, so you can't fit cash sideways in it. Damn trolls at the bank, let me tell ya.
I believe banks aren't allowed to do business with marijuana stuffs.

The safest approach I can think of is to play rated at one store in an area, unrated where you count BJ or other AP plays where you want anonymity.
Set up a credit/marker account where you play rated, play VP and very polite Bj where you are rated for comps. GET marker when you come to the area, pay it off when you leave. Store may frown upon using their credit line to only play elsewhere.
Maybe local banks will not be as likely to close the accounts over big transactions. I can just open several different local accounts. If I am only depositing/withdrawing $10k-$50k at a time in each one, then maybe there won't be problems. I would just need to return back to those banks every time I make a transaction.
My banker knows what I do, and I store my bankroll (less about 10K) in a money market account. If I'm traveling and want to carry more money, I simply make a withdrawal. Yes, this generates a CTR, but so what?
i also have a nationwide account with BoA, and unlimited withdrawals. If you are a certain level at the Empire, you can make free cash advances. The one time I didn't carry enough, I spimply made a "cash advance" against my BoA account. The only annoyance is that since I didn't give proper notice, they gave me all $20s.
Day to day, I have a safe at home. It's cemented in a safe room, so I don't worry much about it.
Here's a pretty expensive one:

Good luck in taking large amounts of cash out of a bank account(anything over 10k, but especially six figures)! Either you are a terrorist or drug dealer, and either the government will have you under their watchful eye, and/or the bank will barr you. 98 per cent of people in Canada for example, carry no money or less then $20 with them most times when they are out. That means that the banks don't see large transactions very often, so when it does happens, they remember it. Using a box in the bank would be better, but if you are on their list to investigate, one day you may find your box empty.
