The Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick has opened the annual reporting period under New Brunswick’s Unclaimed Property Act, requiring businesses and organizations holding unclaimed funds to report them to the province’s Unclaimed Property Program by March 31, 2026 via FundsFinderNB.ca. The program, now in its fourth year, has received more than CAD 41.1 million in unclaimed property reports from 333 unique businesses since launch, and FundsFinderNB.ca has helped reunite New Brunswickers with CAD 3.3 million. Unclaimed property includes money and other monetary property such as uncashed cheques, security deposits and customer overpayments, and is generally treated as unclaimed after at least three years of inactivity, or 10 years for credit union accounts; where the apparent owner does not respond to a holder’s contact efforts, the property must be reported. Compliance resources, including step-by-step guides, FAQs and templates, are available on FundsFinderNB.ca.
