If you have not accessed your account for an extended period (typically 3 years or more), you may receive a letter from us letting you know your account is considered abandoned and may be turned over to the state under escheat laws. You will need to follow the instructions on your letter to contact the bank and prevent escheatment.
What is escheatment? Escheatment is the process of reporting and remitting abandoned/unclaimed property to the appropriate state agency for custodial safekeeping. Each state has laws that govern when accounts are considered inactive and/or abandoned and when we’re required to send a customer’s property to the state.
We encourage you to sign in and check your balances regularly to keep your accounts active. Questions? Contact us at (800) 632-4600
