About Alta Loma

Unclaimed Property in Alta Loma

Alta Loma's substantial unclaimed property total reflects its history as a community that experienced significant demographic shifts, particularly with the closure of several local manufacturing facilities in the 1990s and early 2000s that left workers with unclaimed final paychecks and pension distributions. The high concentration of funds held by Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club ($59,400) and Synchrony Bank ($10,700) suggests many residents had auto insurance refunds and retail credit accounts that went dormant, likely due to the area's transient population near the foothills.

Many properties originated from the Zip codes surrounding the historic Sycamore Inn area, where longtime residents may have forgotten about old utility deposits or dividend payments. The significant number of premium refunds (4,620 records) aligns with Alta Loma's family-oriented demographic, where insurance policy changes and refinancing were common as residents upgraded homes in this desirable San Bernardino County community.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Alta Loma?
