What Are Savings Accounts?
This property type consists of savings accounts at banks and credit unions where the financial institution lost contact with the account holder. Common examples include childhood savings accounts that parents opened and forgot about, or accounts at banks you switched from but never formally closed.
Savings accounts become unclaimed when banks can't reach you for 3-5 years, often after moving without updating your address or simply losing track of smaller accounts. Young adults who moved for college, elderly account holders, and people who switched banks frequently are most likely to have unclaimed savings accounts.
The average unclaimed savings account in California is worth $351.60, though amounts range from a few dollars to thousands. You'll need government-issued ID and proof of your old address to claim these accounts.
