Bank vaults, or secure storage facilities for valuables and currency, can also be called safes, strongrooms, security deposit boxes, or lockboxes. These synonyms all refer to a secure place where valuable items can be stored safely, often under high levels of security and surveillance. While a bank vault may be the most common location for such storage, government agencies, private companies, and individuals may also employ these synonyms to describe their secure storage arrangements. However, regardless of the name used, the primary function remains the same: to provide a secure place to store valuables, cash, and other item of significance.
