Unclaimed Property Day Recap

Cupid called – your perfect match could be waiting in Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, and all it takes is a free search for yourself, a business or someone you know. Currently, my office is safekeeping over $648 million in unclaimed money waiting to be reunited with its rightful owner, such as forgotten checking and savings accounts, uncashed checks, utility refunds and more.

Love doesn’t have to be complicated. Say yes to your forgotten funds at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov, and keep reading to explore how easy it can be to reunite yourself (or your favorite library) with lost funds.

Sincerely,

Roby Smith
Iowa State Treasurer

Over 7,600 past and present Iowans started the process of reuniting with their lost funds during our Unclaimed Property Day campaign, which revolves around February 1. The value of those claims was over $2.6 million!

Each year, we celebrate by encouraging past and present Iowans to see if their lost funds have been turned over to our office. This happens when financial institutions and businesses lose contact with the owner of the funds, and it is our mission to return them to you.

Did you miss out on Unclaimed Property Day? Don’t worry! Great Iowa Treasure Hunt works on this mission every single day, not just February 1. Search anytime, anywhere at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov – you never know what you will find!
