Unclaimed property worth millions is reported by companies to the state every month. Efforts are made by the state treasurer to unite the unclaimed property with its rightful owners. Some of the initiatives undertaken by the state are as follows:

• Maintaining an updated website. Claimants can search online for free if they are owed.
• Advertising in the news daily, names of the unclaimed property owners
• Participating on radio and TV shows to proliferate their services and share the success stories
• Displaying the list of unclaimed property owners in North Dakota state trade fairs
• Sending reminder notices to the rightful owners on their last known address

It could be your abandoned savings account that you might have opened long back and forgot to update bank about your new address. Or it could be your uncashed dividends or traveler’s checks too.
