Valuables Insurance

Why take out this insurance?

The value of valuables that are destroyed, damaged or lost often exceeds that of the compensation provided under the majority of insurance policies. We therefore offer you the option of insuring your valuables separately, giving you reassurance, also in the event of an unwelcome surprise. 

What are valuables?

  • Valuables owned by the insured person
  • Valuables the insured person is holding in safe custody for another party

This concerns:

  • Banknotes
  • Coins
  • Unset gems and pearls
  • Bars of precious metals
  • Stamps
  • Securities
  • Meal vouchers
  • Other monetary instruments and means of payment with ‘bearer’ monetary value, on condition that these goods can be converted into cash at a bank, stock exchange or on a public and legally permitted financial market. 

What is insured?

This is a form of all-risk insurance, meaning that everything is covered, with the exception of the explicit exclusions. The insurance applies as standard up to 2,000 euros (ABEX 480) for valuables located in the buildings at the specified location.

In addition to the standard insurance up to 2,000 euros, the following can be insured:

  • The valuables in the safe: cover is also provided during financial transactions in the area where the safe is located
  • The valuables in the cash registers: if the theft is perpetrated during or up to one hour before or after opening hours, cover is also provided during financial transactions in the area where the cash registers are located
  • The valuables the insured person is transporting: this is useful for insured persons who make deliveries to their clients and receive payments in cash
  • Counterfeit money: on condition that 2,000-euro banknotes are checked for authenticity

If theft is perpetrated in areas at times when they are freely accessible, cover is only provided if the victim is violently assaulted or threatened.

What is not insured? Most important exclusions:

  • Abuse of trust and fraud perpetrated by third parties
  • Simple disappearance
  • Theft of valuables from an unattended vehicle. 
  • Exception: when the valuables are left in a locked boot and are not visible from the outside
