The Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick marked Unclaimed Property Day on 1 February by encouraging New Brunswickers to search FundsFinderNB, the province’s unclaimed property program, for forgotten monetary property. Since its launch in 2023, more than 700 individuals and businesses have been reunited with $3.4 million, with millions more still unclaimed. FundsFinderNB covers items including money in credit union accounts, uncashed cheques, some investment accounts and security deposits. Businesses and organizations that hold unclaimed funds must attempt to contact owners annually and, if unsuccessful, report the monetary property through FundsFinderNB during the 1 January to 31 March reporting period; property is generally considered unclaimed after at least three years of inactivity, or 10 years for credit union accounts. The Commission also published 2025 county-level figures, led by Westmorland with $7,617,861.76 across 9,253 unique owners and York with $6,265,303.80 across 8,532 unique owners, and noted that Unclaimed Property Day is an initiative of the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.
