JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – As National Unclaimed Property Day approaches on February 1, Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek is encouraging Missourians to check for unclaimed property.

“Whether it’s from an uncashed check, unused gift certificate, or forgotten safe deposit box, many of us end up with unclaimed property,” said Treasurer Malek. “I want to give people back their money, and it takes less than 20 seconds to check. So visit ShowMeMoney.com and come get your money!”

The Missouri State Treasurer’s Office currently holds over $1 billion of unclaimed assets in over 10 million accounts. One in ten Missourians has Unclaimed Property, and the average return is nearly $300.

“Our team works tirelessly to reunite Missourians with their unclaimed property,” said Lana Massman, Director of Unclaimed Property. “Their dedication has resulted in yet another record-breaking year of returns last fiscal year.”

Upon taking office, Treasurer Malek made history by becoming the fastest Treasurer to return over $1 million in unclaimed property—achieving this milestone within his first three days in office. In fiscal year 2024, the Treasurer’s Office returned over $56.4 million in unclaimed property, surpassing the previous record of $55.2 million set in fiscal year 2023.

State law requires financial institutions, insurance companies, public agencies, and other businesses to transfer unclaimed assets to the Treasurer’s Office. These assets typically include cash from bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and safe deposit box contents that have been abandoned. Additional examples of unclaimed property include uncollected insurance policy proceeds, government refunds, utility deposits, and wages from past jobs.
