Unclaimed and forgotten accounts

Helping you trace long lost accounts

Do you have an old Birmingham Midshires account that you can't find any records for? Maybe a friend or relative has an account they can't trace. Send us some information and we may be able to help.

How the tracing service works

We can usually trace dormant accounts going back up to 15 years. Simply send us a complete unclaimed accounts application form and we'll do the rest. All the money in the account, including interest, will be paid back to you, or the account owner, following a valid claim.

Please note that reclaiming funds may change your tax status.

Gross is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

*AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

NET rates are illustrative only, allowing for the deduction of income tax at 20%. If you are a higher rate tax payer, you may have a further amount to pay. If we deduct more tax than you have to pay this can be reclaimed from HMRC.

Tax Free means free from personal liability to Income Tax.
