Have you left some money in an old bank account?
More than 10,000 Australians have left amounts ranging from $500 to more than $66,000 in unclaimed accounts with banks and financial instututions.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission publishes an updated list of unclaimed monies twice a year – this year’s 3219 page list, released today, can be searched here.
Analysis by InDaily in past years shows the accounts often hold dividends paid into bank accounts where the holder has moved address, sporting or social groups whose committee members have changed without passing on details, and those people who have just plain forgot about an account.
