What’s the scoop on dormant accounts?
First, let’s determine what FMB designates as an inactive account and a dormant account.
We consider a checking or savings account to be inactive after 6 months of no activity, excluding interest payments. An inactive notice is mailed to each customer. If the bank is not contacted during the inactive time frame between 6 and 12 months, this account will then be considered dormant. FMB considers a checking or savings account to be dormant after 12 months of no activity other than interest payments and will then assess a monthly dormant fee of $10.00 if the balance in the account is below $5,000.
How to keep your account from going inactive or dormant?
First, make sure the bank has all of your updated information and ask if you have any inactive or dormant accounts. Dormant accounts could be costing you money. Especially if we don’t have your correct address. We attempt to notify customers when an account goes dormant before the fees are assessed. Many times, these notifications come back due to address issues.
Second, conduct a transaction every 6 months or contact the bank to update our system with the date of last contact to keep your account in active status.
Federal Regulation requires banks to monitor inactive and dormant accounts and provide notices to customers. Why? When an account is inactive for 5 years, the bank is required to transfer the assets to the State of Missouri to be claimed. This is why banks monitor these accounts to try and prevent them from being transferred to the state.
