Millions of dollars are sitting right now in unclaimed bank accounts.
At the end of last year, the Bank of Canada was holding approximately 1.8 million unclaimed balances worth $678 million.
“The biggest balance we have on our banks right now is about $800,000,” said the Bank of Canada’s Josianne Menard.
If a bank account has been dormant for 10 years, the balance is turned over to the Bank of Canada. Unclaimed balances of less than $1,000 are held for 30 years. Amounts more than $1,000 are held for 100 years.
“There’s a lot of money out there that people simply forgot about,” Menard said.

Sadly, I did not have a bank account I forgot about. Was hoping I did something stupid (or SMART!) whilst intoxicated once upon a time, but to no avail.
Is anyone rich?!
