Missouri State Treasurer Vivek Malek is visiting area counties to raise awareness of Missouri’s $1 billion in unclaimed property on National Unclaimed Property Day.

The Treasurer’s Office is responsible for returning Unclaimed Property to Missourians. Each year financial institutions, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations turn over millions of dollars in cash and the contents of safe deposit boxes to the Treasurer’s Office. The Office currently holds more than $1 billion in unclaimed assets. 1 in 10 Missourians has Unclaimed Property and the average return is $300. The Treasurer’s Office never charges to return Unclaimed Property.
