About Banning

Unclaimed Property in Banning

Banning's substantial unclaimed property total reflects the city's history as a railroad town and its role as a retirement destination in the San Gorgonio Pass. Many of these funds trace back to the Southern Pacific Railroad era and more recent closures of manufacturing facilities that once employed thousands of residents.

Capital One's $82,900 in holdings typically represents forgotten credit card rewards and closed account balances, while Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club's $73,000 reflects uncashed insurance claim checks and premium refunds from the area's many retirees. The concentration is particularly high in the older neighborhoods near Highland Home Road and around the historic Gilman Ranch, where long-term residents may have lost track of accounts during estate transitions.

Banning's proximity to the Morongo Casino Resort and its transient workforce also contributes to the high volume of unclaimed wages and employment-related refunds held by various companies.
