A friend introduced me to this website last week. It is the Bank of Canada’s site for money that people may have left in an old bank account and forgotten. After 10 years of inactivity, banks transfer the funds, along with the account information to the Bank of Canada.
Just by plugging in a few friends names, I have discovered money for two friends totalling about $500.
It may not sound like a lot, but money is money. And this might be YOUR money just sitting there.
I encourage everyone to bookmark this site and check it every year or two.

BTW, my commission rate is 5% of anything found. (Or just buy me a beer when you see me).
