$700+ million. That's how much unclaimed money that the state is holding.

The office of State Treasurer Curtis Loftis has launched a new social media promotion aimed at helping people find their perfect match in unclaimed funds in SC — meet “The Matchelor.”

The state’s promotion parodies the popular dating tv series + has a team of “matchelors” and “matchelorettes” who work to connect people with their unclaimed funds. 🌹

If a company tries to send the funds to the rightful owner but it doesn’t make it, that money is handed over to the state’s Unclaimed Property Program.

Types of unclaimed property

Checks lost in the mail + never cashed
Dormant bank accounts
Forgotten utility deposits
Insurance proceeds
Shares of stock

There are more than a million accounts, so the State Treasurer’s Office is asking citizens to search the website to be “reunited with their long-lost Benjamins, Hamiltons or Lincolns.”

The Matchelor posts will be featured on the agency’s Facebook, Twitter + Instagram accounts.

Visit the State Treasurer's Office website to see if you can get reconnected with your missing money today. We hope it’s a perfect match, Charleston.
