The bank vault is an area located in the basement of the western Varrock bank. It features 6 coin spawns, 2 brass necklace spawns and 2 gold spawns. Players cannot access directly through the gate, attempting to do so will yield the message the gate is locked. The spell telekinetic grab may be used on the vault's items that are within the player's direct line of sight.

The coin amounts a player may obtain with telekinetic grab are:

• 42 coins
• 66 coins

Outside of the locked area is a coin spawn of 3 coins.
