It happens when people put money in financial institutions and either forget about it, or simply can’t track it in their records. That’s why there’s the Division of Unclaimed Funds of the Ohio Department of Commerce.
The Division of Unclaimed Funds of the Ohio Department of Commerce exists to protect money lost by Ohioans in various financial institutions, find the people it belongs to, and return it as quickly as possible.
We’ve set out to make Ohioans aware of the services available to them through the Division of Unclaimed Funds—and, in turn, ensure more Ohioans keep the money that’s rightfully theirs.
As more Ohioans know where to look for their unclaimed funds, more of the $1.2 billion currently in the custody of the Division of Unclaimed Funds will be returned—and placed back into Ohioans’ pocketbooks.
