Mississippi State Treasurer Makes Submitting Unclaimed Property Funds Easier Than Ever

Unclaimed Property Division now accepting
online holder payments
The Office of the Mississippi State Treasurer now provides the
option for possessors of unclaimed property to pay online using the
new Holder ePayment System. This payment system allows businesses,
government entities, financial institutions, and other
organizations to process and securely transfer funds online
directly to the Mississippi State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property
Division. According to Mississippi law, any unclaimed property must
be escheated after a five year dormancy. By making it easier for
businesses to report and transfer money to the Treasurer,
Mississippi citizens will be able to find and claim their property
quickly online.
“One in five Mississippians has unclaimed property,” stated
Treasurer Lynn Fitch. “Our goal with this new online system is to
leverage today’s technology to put unclaimed property back in the
hands of its owners more efficiently and much faster. It has always
been my hope to return as much as possible of the newly reported
dollars back to the rightful owners. Now, only much faster.”
Unclaimed property can be anything from forgotten utility
deposits, bank accounts, stocks and bonds, and unclaimed
inheritances. If you are a holder of unclaimed property or to find
out if you have unclaimed property, please visit the Office of the
Mississippi State Treasurer online at
