The Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick issued a compliance reminder urging businesses to check whether they are holding unclaimed monetary property and to report and remit it as required under New Brunswick’s Unclaimed Property Act. The Commission flagged common examples including uncashed cheques, unpaid wages, overpayments and refunds, and outlined a five-step approach: review records for property that will become unclaimed at the end of the 2025 calendar year or became unclaimed in any year since 2017, attempt to notify owners three to six months before delivering property to the program, report property where owners cannot be reached during the annual reporting period of January 1 to March 31, and remit the funds to the unclaimed property program. Reporting and remitting are mandatory and must be completed through FundsFinderNB.ca.
