Before you start

Include full details where you hold them, for example full name rather than initials. For accounts owned by more than 1 person, make sure you list all owners. 

In your file or through completing the on-screen entry in myIR, you will need to provide as much information as you hold about the money and its owner(s). When a claim comes in from a potential owner, we need to take due diligence to ensure they are the rightful owner of the money.

Before you can complete the submission, you must fill in fields marked with an asterix*

For the money, include:

  • Money type *
  • Money source *
  • Amount unclaimed in $NZD*
  • Age of money (years)
  • Area / region
  • Client number
  • Account number
  • Reference number
  • Comment – use this field to include any other information that would help us reunite an owner with their money. For example, the last time you had contact with them, type of account, type of money. If the amount you sent us has been converted from foreign currency – for example unused traveller's cheques – please include the value of foreign currency.

For the owner(s), you must include this information if you hold it.
