An ordinary current account that went dormant — no deposits, no withdrawals, no contact for the statutory period.
Almost always a move. The bank sent statements to an address you had left, they came back, and after about three years the law required the balance to be handed to the state.
What you will need to claim it
Old statements, the account number if you have it, and anything tying you to the address the bank had on file.
Every claim also needs government photo identification and proof of your Social Security number, plus a document linking you to the address the property was reported under. That last item is the one that stops most people.
