Unclaimed Accounts, CDs and IRAs at Closed Banks and Failed Credit Unions |
|---|
| There has been at least one bank failure every
year since 1934. More than 1,400 banks and 700 savings institutions
closed between 1982 and 1992 alone. Nearly four hundred banks have failed
during the current economic crisis including the largest ever,
Washington Mutual (WaMu), with $182 billion in deposits. The federal government, under the terms of the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery & Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), administers insurance funds responsible for protecting depositors from losses when banks fail. 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 $250,0000 per account from government regulators, including the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and NCUA (National Credit Union Administration). Unclaimed accounts may be recovered after years of inactivity, even if a passbook is lost or destroyed.
