Unclaimed property recovery
Old bank accounts. Insurance payouts. Uncashed paychecks and refunds. When a company loses track of you, the law makes it hand your money to the state — where it sits until someone claims it. Search your name and find out in about ten seconds.
Free to search. No account, no card, no Social Security number to look.

Our fee
No retainer, no hourly billing, no “processing fee”. We only make money when the state cuts you a cheque. Most states cap what a recovery firm may charge — often at 10%, but as high as 30% in some. We charge 10% everywhere, including the states where we could legally charge triple.

You could also file this claim yourself, for free, directly with the state. Plenty of people do and we will tell you how. Most people who hire us do it because the claim needs documents they no longer have, involves a deceased relative, or has been sitting untouched for fifteen years because the paperwork is genuinely annoying.
How it works
Free and instant. We show you the amount, the company that lost track of you, and the city on the account so you can tell whether it is really yours.
Pick the records that match. We ask for the documents that specific state requires — usually photo ID and something tying you to the old address.
We prepare the state forms, chase the holder for missing proof, and handle the follow-up when the state asks for more. Filing windows run weeks to months.
The state pays you. We invoice our 10% after the money lands. If the claim fails, you owe nothing.
Why this is not a scam
Unclaimed property is a real, boring area of state law, and it attracts a lot of bad actors. So we would rather you verify than trust.
Every record we show you comes from a public state file. Search the same name on the state’s own website and you will find the same record. We will link you straight to it.
No fee of any kind before you are paid. Anyone who asks you to wire a fee to release "your" unclaimed funds is running a well-known scam.
Only a real claim filing needs identifying information, and only because the state form requires it. Searching needs nothing but a name.
State statutes cap what recovery firms may charge and void agreements that break the rules. We publish the cap for all 51 jurisdictions.
597,013 people in our database are owed at least $2,500 and have no idea. Checking costs nothing.
