How it works
Owed To You brings together the places money owed to Australians is held, so you can check them in one visit. Here's exactly what we search, what we don't, and where the information comes from.
The registers we search for you
These agencies publish their unclaimed money registers. We keep a copy, check each one for changes every day, and search them all when you enter a name.
A match is a possible match: the register holds money under that name, but it may be someone else's. You confirm it and claim on the agency's own website, for free.
The registers we guide you to
These registers only allow searches on their own websites, behind checks that stop automated searching. We link you to each one and tell you what to type.
- Unclaimed money held by ASIC (bank accounts, shares, life insurance) (ASIC, through Moneysmart)
- NSW unclaimed money (Revenue NSW)
- Victoria unclaimed money (State Revenue Office Victoria)
- WA unclaimed money (WA Department of Treasury and Finance)
- SA unclaimed money (SA Department of Treasury and Finance)
- ACT unclaimed money (ACT Public Trustee and Guardian)
- Lost and unclaimed super (Australian Taxation Office, through myGov)
How the claims list is made
Every day we read the public pages where law firms, courts and ASIC announce class actions, settlements and refunds. When a page is new or changes:
- An AI model drafts a plain-English summary. Every fact in it must be quoted word for word from the page, or the draft is thrown out.
- A second, independent AI review checks the claim is open now, open to ordinary people, accurately described and not a duplicate. Only clear passes are published.
- Claims drop off the list after their deadline, and close if the official page is taken down.
The official notice always decides who is eligible. We link to it on every claim, and you register or claim there, for free. If you spot a mistake, use "Report a problem" on the claim.
