Lost accounts
Do you think you have a 'lost' account?
If so, there is a new website, which has been developed, to help reunite you with your lost savings accounts.
This FREE service has been made possible by bringing together the three tracing schemes - British Banking Association (BBA), Building Societies Association (BSA) and National Savings & Investments (NS&I).
The scheme covers all 59 UK building societies, 42 banks and all NS&I products as well as the old Post Office savings accounts.
To view the website, go to www.mylostaccount.org.uk and you can instigate a search by providing some information about yourself and your account(s).
More importantly, by utilising this new website you only have to input the information once only and it will be passed on to those banks/building societies/NS&I which the information provided indicates could be holding a dormant account belonging to the person enquiring.
Where a bank or building soceity no longer exists, eg because it has been taken over by another, the successor institution will carry out the search.
So, if you are wondering what happened to that account you opened as a child, don't delay any longer. Go to www.mylostaccount.org.uk and being that search!
