Why is my name published in the Canada Gazette under Banks, Trust Companies, and Loan Companies — Unclaimed balances?
Previously, in accordance with the Bank Act, the Canada Gazette published the Banks, Trust Companies and Loan Companies — Unclaimed balances once a year on behalf of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions. If your name is published under this heading, you may be entitled to an unclaimed balance. However, subsequent to an amendment to the Bank Act in 2007, please note that unclaimed balances are no longer published in the Canada Gazette. For more information on this matter, please visit the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Web site or call 1-800-385-8647.
