Gunnebo Safe Storage has introduced cutting-edge technology to support the first fully automated safe deposit box service in the Nordic region, launched by precious metals expert Jalonom Oy in Espoo, Finland.
Situated at the Prisma shopping center in Lahti, this innovative service allows users to access their safe deposit boxes securely and independently, eliminating the need for appointments or on-site staff assistance. This advancement brings convenience together with top-tier security, catering to the growing market demand as traditional bank safe deposit box services diminish.
Safe Deposit System
The cornerstone of this service is the Safe Store Auto, an automated safe deposit system from Gunnebo Safe Storage. This solution merges robotic technology with a certified high-security vault, ensuring the safeguarding of stored valuables against threats like theft, fire, and loss. Customers gain access through a secure authentication process, after which a robotic system retrieves the individual's safe deposit box, offering a discreet and efficient experience.
“Customers are finding it harder to access physical safe deposit box services, while the need to securely store valuables and important documents continues to grow,” stated Kimmo Korkiakoski, CEO of Jalonom Oy. “We wanted to introduce a solution to remove the limitations of traditional services including no appointments, no restricted office hours, all while maintaining the highest possible level of security.”
Physical Bank Branches
The new facility accommodates customers' needs for managing their storage on their own schedule
Jalonom Oy, a company with 15 years of expertise in the precious metals industry, observes a rising demand from private individuals and businesses seeking secure storage for valuables, critical documents, and investment assets. The ongoing decline of physical bank branches and decreasing availability of traditional safe deposit boxes have expedited the search for alternative storage solutions.
The new facility accommodates customers' needs for managing their storage on their own schedule, aligning with modern expectations for flexibility and self-service. Designed aesthetically, the system ensures a seamless user experience while adhering to rigorous security protocols during each access stage.
Future-Ready Response
The service also underscores the heightened awareness of asset protection, with the growing interest in precious metals investments fostering continued demand for reliable and accessible storage solutions. Automated systems like Safe Store Auto are emerging as scalable and future-ready answers to these evolving requirements.
“Automated safe deposit solutions are transforming how customers access and manage secure storage,” commented Joakim Tillman, International Key Account Manager at Gunnebo Safe Storage. “This installation highlights the growing global adoption of automated vault systems, and through our partnership with Jalonom, we are bringing proven technology to a new audience in the Nordic region. With Safe Store Auto, we combine certified vault protection with intelligent automation to deliver a secure, convenient, and future-ready service model that enhances both security and the overall customer experience.”
