Unclaimed Money in Malaysia
Malaysia has one of the most user-friendly unclaimed money systems in Asia. The Accountant General's Department (JANM) operates the eGUMIS portal at egumis.anm.gov.my, which consolidates unclaimed financial assets from banks, insurance companies, and other regulated financial institutions.
Under the Unclaimed Moneys Act 1965 (UMA), money that has been dormant for 7 years must be surrendered to the Registrar of Unclaimed Moneys (who is the Secretary General of the Treasury). As of 2025, over RM 13.3 billion in unclaimed financial assets has been surrendered, with more added each year.
