Dormant bank accounts

Across the UK a large number of customers have savings accounts with various banks or building societies that they may have forgotten about.

We're working with the Building Societies Association and British Bankers' Association as part of an industry wide initiative to help customers find their lost accounts. So if you think you have old, lost or forgotten savings, we may be able to help you find them.

If you are searching for an account on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated person, you will need to be legally empowered to do so.

To begin your search, all you need to do is either:

Go to www.mylostaccount.org.uk and complete the Reclaim Funds online process. This website can be used to search for lost accounts at any bank, building society or national savings account.
Or alternatively, if it is a lost Coventry account, come into one of our branches or call us and ask a member of staff for a Reclaim Funds form.
Any money in these accounts will always belong to the account holder or their estate, no matter how many years pass.

Please note that reclaiming funds may change your tax status, contact HMRC for further information.
