SmartCard and Lockbox Procedure

Lockboxes are made available to all ASVB smart card members for installation on properties to provide ease of access. SmartCards are the sole property of ASVB and ASVB reserves the right to recall or repossess the card at any time for any reason.

Arrangements can be made to pick up cards or lockboxes at the ASVB office by telephoning 408.615.3470. Payment and signing of the SmartCard agreement will be required at that time. Only one card will be issued per broker member. The card must be picked up in person by the member.

1. A SmartCard will be offered to Active Card Members of ASVB at a cost of a $25.00 non-refundable processing fee.
2. The SmartCard is to be kept in the member's possession or safe place at all times. The card is not to be used by parties other than the member.  The member will permit access to property through the card only by parties physically accompanied by the member.
3. The PIN for the card must not be attached to the card or disclosed to any third party.
4. ASVB members who do not renew their membership by payment of annual dues must voluntarily return any card previously designated to them.
