Introduction

Unclaimed money is more common than you think. From forgotten bank accounts to uncashed checks, millions of dollars are sitting unclaimed, waiting for their rightful owners. But why does this happen? In today’s post, we’ll explore the top 5 reasons people have unclaimed money and how you can find out if any of it belongs to you.

1. Forgotten Bank Accounts

Over time, people may switch banks, move cities, or forget about small accounts opened years ago. Banks are required to report inactive accounts as unclaimed property after a certain period of inactivity.

How to Find It:
