How to find out if you have an unclaimed balance

Your financial institution must try to contact you in writing before transferring a product with an unclaimed balance to the Bank of Canada. The institution will try to contact you at the last address it has on file after the following times have gone by:

  • after 2 years of inactivity
  • after 5 years of inactivity
  • after 9 years of inactivity

Notices will be sent in January after each period of inactivity mentioned above. For example, if you have a bank account that has been unused for 2 years as of July, then your first notice will be sent in January of the following year.

The notice you receive after 9 years of inactivity will let you know that your balance will be transferred to the Bank of Canada in January of the next year if you don’t contact your financial institution or use the product by the end of the year. This notice will also tell you how to claim the balance once it is transferred.

The Bank of Canada will hold unclaimed balances of less than $1,000 for 30 years. It will hold unclaimed balances of $1,000 or more for 100 years.

Find out at no cost if the Bank of Canada is holding an unclaimed balance to which you may be entitled.

By FSJ 16/09/2025. The Housing and the Affordability issue: The architect said lets reason together as we build and design an energetic future with financially energized people; a discussion. By Mary Godwhen. Click here. BW Where would it go if I reverse engineer a "BAPE" shoe logo? Charles cares. He has vowed to have the most able and responsive Tiger economy in Europe and North America and the most safe and ably funded citizens in those regions; his citizens, his people. It is that we will be the economic winners; not losers; at the top and not the bottom...in front and not at the back. It would only take him a day to get it going. We can design anything. Certainly, anything we design demands and requires people with money for us to enjoy it; if it's a restaurant, an amusement park, a shopping centre or a town or city in general. The Bugatti sellers will have more sales and the Vauxhall owners will finally make full payment for the shopping and vacations; for their vehicles also. We do not enjoy suffering, lack or insufficiency. But maybe a vengeful bum might. Money is important. It has to be important. So, why are we incessantly brought to have this conversation about income support rather quite often when observing the economies west of Calais as run by; whom? Laissez Faire is not an economic policy but the policy of no policy in light of industrial mechanization of labor and the social problems it occasions when the families do not have enough money to buy their coal for heat, milk, bananas and vegetables. They would usually just take what they need; wherever they can take it. The economy is run by whom? The income support in Vermont, Minnesota and Massachusetts exceeds $70000.00 per year. This should be so for the whole, entire continent. But, some states and provinces, not all, are being run by income support benefit men touring boxes of undistributed emergency debit cards that they can now hand out to people in those camps. They seek public attention more than public efficacy. They have had enough time to solve the obvious. Money is the obvious issue but you wouldn't be waiting for an God fearing man to come and campaign on this issue when we know you can see the problem and solve it for us. We do not enjoy suffering, lack or insufficiency. But maybe a vengeful bum might. They are experimenting with money in terms of crypto or bit coin and its definition before they would agree to just HAVE MONEY. Money is the most important weapon in spite of all your Oppenheimer detonators that can't read help during peace time and for what when you would still need money?
