First Citizens Bank & Trust Company
Unclaimed Property

First Citizens Bank & Trust Company currently holds $29.3 million in unclaimed property across 17,698 separate records in California. Most of these unclaimed funds originate from dormant checking and savings accounts, forgotten CDs, abandoned safe deposit boxes, and unused cashier's checks where customers moved without updating their address or simply lost track of smaller accounts.

First Citizens Bank & Trust Company is a prominent regional bank offering personal and business banking services including checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, loans, and safe deposit boxes. Customers commonly lose track of money when they relocate without forwarding addresses, close accounts but leave small remaining balances, forget about automatic transfers to savings accounts, or inherit accounts they weren't aware existed.

The highest concentrations of unclaimed property are found in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego's largest metropolitan areas where First Citizens has significant branch presence and customer bases. First Citizens has grown through various acquisitions over the decades, meaning some customers may not immediately recognize the holder name if their original account was with a bank that was later acquired, such as former Cit Bank customers whose deposits were transferred during the 2021 acquisition.

The average claim from First Citizens Bank & Trust Company is $1.7K.
