30 Sources of Unclaimed Property

3

On average, people in North America move every 5 years. We provide our address to our bank, our insurance company, our schools, our doctors and dentists, stores where we shop, and even restaurants or other places of entertainment that offer us prizes to encourage our use of their services. With so many places to inform about address changes, is it any wonder that we and our money get separated?

Here’s where some of the $40 billion in unclaimed funds originates.

      The address you provided is an email address not a website so I can’t really understand in what way my site comes up. There is no claim with your name on this site. You should be in touch with Wells Fargo by email at the address they gave you. I don’t have any connection to Wells Fargo so I can’t help you with this.
