Because of International Pressure and power of social media now, countries are signing tax avoidance treaties with tax heaven nations like Switzerland.

The treaty is limited to funds in customers' savings, deposit and investment accounts, and do not apply to the safe deposit boxes.

What are safe deposit boxes?
Most Swiss banks have a vault room where individual clients can rent out a strong box to deposit precious items and documents.
To ensure the system’s security, two different keys must be used at the same time to open the box.
One is the bank’s key and the other belongs to the client.
This means the banker will be there when the client opens the box.
To make sure the client’s privacy is preserved, there is a removable metal box inside the strong box.
The client takes this removable box to a private booth where he can do what he wants with the contents in the fullest privacy.

These boxes are most often left at the bank and it is only rarely that a client would take it home.
The box would always remain the bank’s property and it is extremely rare that one would be available for purchase by a Swiss, let alone by a foreigner.

What can be kept in the Safe Deposit Box?
Small boxes could contain such items as gold coins and gold bars, jewels, bonds and shares, contracts, official documents or even compromising letters.
Larger boxes would be used for paintings, sculptures
