Hawaii has over $150 million being held in unclaimed money!
The State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property Program collects and holds abandoned property from Holders ( companies, government agencies, businesses, etc.) This program is administered under the provisions of the Hawaii Unclaimed Property Statutes HRS Chapter 523A.
The State of Hawaii acts as a custodian for abandoned funds and holds these funds in perpetuity. In other words, there is no time limit for claiming these funds from the State.
Unclaimed property is any financial asset that not had any owner-generated activity for an extended period of time.
Unclaimed property commonly includes dormant checking and savings accounts, uncashed payroll checks, stocks, and safe deposit box contents.
Property becomes abandoned when there had been no owner activity related to the account for a specific period of time and when the owner has not been able to be contacted by the holder of that asset.
Unclaimed property owners may search for unclaimed property by name online at the State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property Search link or by requesting a name search by calling the State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property office:

Did you know that there is a little known business where you can get paid to find unclaimed money being held for other people?
Unclaimed money finders help reunite people with money being held for them that they didn’t know they had.
In return for getting the money back, finders charge a fee, usually a percentage of the amount that has been returned. It is a great business and a great way of helping people.

My Sister told me my name came up for unclaimed money / it was my old savings account from Wailuku Federal Credit Union /
PS: Please let me know where & how to claim my money / U have my email Mahalo from Alan M. Santos Sr.
I would like to know if I have any unclaimed property.
I found my name and amounts I own. I submitted everything they needed. How do I check if they received my documents and how long will I receive unclaimed properties?I went back to do a search on my name again and it’s not there anymore
I’d like to know that! Is there any search system for unclaimed property processing?
I was in the mainland working and when I came back First Hawaiian Bank had closed my account. I believe it went to the state. Thank you.

Are there any unclaimed funds in my name
I lived and worked in Hawaii from the summer of 1967 to the summer of 1968. Are there any unclaimed funds in my name?
Hi, I am writing on behalf of my elderly father, Mitchell Olson. He had an account at the first Hawaiian Bank, joint with his late wife,Gwen Olson. He became aware the account was not closed and had a balance of over $1,100 unclaimed. Many months ago he began the process of putting his documents together to claim this balance owing to him. In early February he faxed you his documentation and has not yet had any response from you. (unclaimed funds id#30xxx). This unresolved situation is very stressful for him, and he talks about it every time I call him.
My Dad, Mitchell Olson, is living in Millet, Alberta, Canada. His phone number is 1-780-387-xxx and you can call him direct. If you are unable to call him please advise me what further must be done for him to claim his money?
Please advise. Thanks
Wendy Olson,
