Bank and Credit Union Unclaimed Account Search |

Did you have an account at a closed bank or credit union? Don't assume that because your bank, savings and loan or credit union no longer exists that unclaimed funds are lost forever. Your account may have been transferred to a successor bank or a government custodian after a merger or acquisition, or you may be entitled to collect insurance proceeds - up to $250,000 per account - from government regulators. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), established in 1933, administers insurance funds to protect depositors from losing money when banks fail. Banks pay premiums to the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). If a bank fails, the FDIC pays depositors directly, or transfers insured funds to a successor bank. More than 2,000 banks during the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s. Well over one hundred banks failed in 2009, with more to follow. Over 500,000 insured bank accounts worth several hundred million dollars are currently available for claim. Unclaimed funds may be recovered after years of inactivity - even if a passbook is lost or destroyed - but act promptly as there is a time limit on some types of claims.
