Where can you find a safe deposit box in Tournai?

Does Tournai have its own vault room?

On the banking side, the movement is national: ING, a major bank in the country that left this business, stopped accepting new safe deposit box requests in January 2022 (RTBF, in French) and ended safe deposit box rental for its customers at the end of 2023 (La Libre, in French). One documented option is at Rue Arthur Roelandt 22 in Dottignies (Mouscron); check the route from your exact starting point.

Where is the Dottignies (Mouscron) vault room?

In Dottignies (Mouscron), Rue Arthur Roelandt 22, about 20 minutes by car from Tournai (22 km, route estimate): this is the vault of Gold & Silver Company, open without a prior banking relationship.

In 2012, Gold & Silver Company opened the first private safe deposit box rooms outside the banking system in Belgium. The site combines a vault room certified INCERT grade 3, a time lock, facial recognition at the reception area and 24-hour surveillance. The police station is 100 metres away, and law enforcement can intervene in under five minutes. Outside the fully filmed building, parking spaces await the visitor; a private car park can be made available by appointment, with or without a security escort. Visitors come in through a video intercom; during opening hours an agent is on site and answers within a minute, at the intercom or in person.
