Enter a well-known name (or your own) and you may get something like this:

Name: SPRAGGETT KEVIN
Payee:
Address:
Savings Account : 0495069 0 Transferred to Bank of Canada: $286.72
Last Transaction Date: 1991/4/19 Transfer Date: 2001/12/31
Status: UNCLAIMED Outstanding Balance: $286.72
Originating Bank: CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE , 1155 BOUL. RENE-LEVESQUE OUEST , CP 6003, SUCCURSALE A , MONTREAL , QC, H3B3Z4

And if your name is "John A Upper" with a long inactive Scotiabank account you have a nice sum awaiting you.

I got back about $60 a couple of years ago without too much effort.

Thanks, Hugh. I found a friend's name on there and it was indeed an old account of his. He's getting back about $125.
