Under New Brunswick’s Unclaimed Property Act (Act), businesses and other entities have a legal obligation to review their books for money or monetary property that is waiting to be reunited with its rightful owners. If the funds cannot be returned, they must be reported and delivered to the unclaimed property program at FundsFinderNB.ca.
The reporting period takes place annually from January 1 to March 31. During this period, you must:
- Report the monetary property to the unclaimed property program. Reporting is mandatory and applies to almost all businesses and organizations, including small businesses, non-profits, government entities, and more.
- Remit the monetary property to the unclaimed property program at FundsFinderNB.ca once you have received an invoice.
The unclaimed property program is administered by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick. Visit FundsFinderNB.ca to learn more about the program.
You can also subscribe to receive email notifications regarding updates on the unclaimed property program and reminders on reporting periods.
