Formerly the Banco Republica, Fort Box offers a variety of safe deposit boxes in downtown Punta del Este.
Long-time InvestBA readers know Uruguay Is A Good Place to Visit Your Money, especially during the High Season shoulder months of November/December and March/April. The weather is still perfect, the beaches are practically empty and the restaurants are not crowded with tourists on summer vacation. More importantly, attractive rents can be negotiated with local brokers for oceanfront chacras and luxurious estancias.
So where do you leave your money when you leave Uruguay? If you have a private residence, that is one option; however, many foreign investors opt to rent homes in Punta del Este and surrounding coastal towns like Jose Ignacio, La Barra, Manantiales and Garzon. One of the best options for PdE renters and part-time residents is located in a shopping galleria on Gorlero Street in downtown Punta del Este.
Founded over fifteen years ago, Fort Box offers clients a variety of safe deposit boxes where you can store your cash, gold, documents and other valuables. The building was formerly the Punta del Este branch of Banco Republica, and the vaults are the original ones from the bank. Armed security guards patrol Fort Box which also offers P.O. Boxes and conference rooms if you conduct business in Uruguay without a full-time physical address.
Fort Box is open seven days a week with extended hours during the summer months, so your money in Uruguay will never be lonely. (Company website)
