What is interesting about this is the honesty of the bank in keeping the accounts regular and then publishing it. Some, I am sure, would have used many excuses to wave it off the record. I have had accounts that I did not use for a long time and the bank closed it on their own! I wonder if the former account holders' prosperity can / will claim it?

JB, I think this is their last effort before doing just that. I cannot help but think they are trying to get their books in order and this is a big quagmire for them. What I would be asking is: What will they do with the monies not claimed?

Just a thought,
