Nachttresor Explanation: Examples from Wortschatz, web site mentionned below: Externer Lexikoneintrag in: Sparkasse Regensburg: Geld-Lexikon Beispiel(e): Zwei Mitarbeiter der Sicherheitsfirma leerten gerade den Nachttresor auf der Rückseite des Supermarktes, während der 30jährige Fahrer des Transporters am Steuer saß und den Motor laufen ließ. (Quelle: Tagesspiegel 2000) Um diese Zeit lagen die Täter an dem nur wenige Meter entfernten Nachttresor wahrscheinlich bereits auf der Lauer. (Quelle: Frankfurter Rundschau 1993) Ein Geldautomat, Kontoauszugsdrucker, Kundensafes zur sicheren Aufbewahrung von Wertsachen, Tag- und Nachttresor und Briefschließfächer sind einige Ausstattungsmerkmale. (Quelle: Frankfurter Rundschau 1993) Reference: http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/ |

Drop-off-Schalter, Nachtschalter, Spätschalter Explanation: I think that Nachttresor is a specific term for banking services, to drop off special cartridges with money and other papers in it. The terminology of shipping services is most of the time kept in English (see references), so just keeping the "drop-off" as is does not hurt at all. I even think that you can keep the "box". If you want to translate it, Schalter would be in my opinion the best term, though this actually means "counter", but to me "Drop-off-Kasten" sounds a bit strange.
