Tips for Finding Lost Bank Account Funds

Review Your Personal Documents
Start by gathering evidence such as old papers and documentation related to the old bank account. Even the name of the bank or an account number could prove useful.
Contact the Bank
If you think you know the bank, reach out directly to inquire about any accounts in your name or the person you're searching for.
Check with Your State
Explore state unclaimed property search tools to locate abandoned account funds and follow the required steps to file a claim with the state.
Can't Find Your Money?
If all else fails, maintain efforts to locate the missing funds by continuing to search for any relevant documents or seeking assistance from family members.
