North Dakota is currently holding over $29 million in unclaimed funds. 

The North Dakota Unclaimed Property Division has been working to reunite individuals with property that they have lost or misplaced since 1975.

Unclaimed property consists of uncashed checks, unused bank accounts, and other property such as stocks and bonds that has not been claimed by the owner for a specified period of time (usually two to five years). In some instances the property was missed in the probate of an estate, or it may have simply been forgotten by the owner.

The division acts as custodian of these unclaimed funds from banks, insurance companies, utilities, retailers, hospitals,  local governments, and other entities.


Any business operating in the State of North Dakota is required to annually check its accounting records for outstanding checks, dormant accounts, unclaimed stocks or bonds, credit balances, etc. Once the property is identified, the business owner needs to notify the property owner at the last-known address to give them an opportunity to recover the property.

If the business is unsuccessful in contacting the owner, or if the owner doesn’t respond, the business owner must turn the property over to the Unclaimed Property Division.

There is no time limit to recover your unclaimed funds.  The Unclaimed Property Division will hold on to them forever, until you claim them.

North Carolina is currently holding over $400 million in unclaimed funds!

Unclaimed property  consists of bank accounts, wages, insurance policy proceeds, utility deposits, stocks, bonds, and contents of safe deposit boxes that have been abandoned – that is, for which there have been no documented transactions or contact with the owners for a statutory period of time. In most cases, this period of time varies from 1 to 5 years depending upon the property type. There are over 100 types of property which may become unclaimed.

Funds can become unclaimed for a variety of reasons including not telling a company you moved, not collecting a final paycheck, not collecting a utility deposit before you move and a host of other reasons too many to mention.

By law, these funds are escheated, or turned over, to the Department of State Treasurer for safekeeping. As new funds are added the NC Cash database is updated.  You’re name could be on there now!
