CARSON CITY, Nev. — Nevada Treasurer Zach Conine is encouraging residents to start the new year by checking whether the state is holding unclaimed money in their name.

According to the State Treasurer’s Office, Nevada currently holds more than $1 billion in unclaimed property owed to residents. The funds include forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, and other assets that often go unclaimed.

Conine said searching for unclaimed property is free, quick, and could help Nevadans make progress toward their financial goals in 2026.

The Nevada State Treasury holds unclaimed funds indefinitely and works to reunite owners, or their heirs, with the money.

Residents can search the state’s unclaimed property database by visiting NVUP.gov.
