Dormant and Inactive Accounts and Escheat Laws. An account is “inactive” when there is no customer-initiated activity on the account for either 11 months (on non-Private Banking checking accounts) or 18 months (on savings and money market accounts and IOLTA accounts and Private Banking checking accounts), unless state law prescribes a different period. Examples of customer-initiated activity include making a deposit, withdrawing funds, or making a one-time debit card payment. The account will remain in an inactive status until you resume customer-initiated activity on the account. A checking, savings, or money market account is “dormant” when there is no customer-initiated activity or customer contact for a period of 24 months, unless state law prescribes a different period. For your protection, access to your account will be restricted until you re-establish contact with us. If your account is either inactive or dormant, we may assess an inactive or dormant account charge, as applicable, unless prohibited by law. The account will also remain subject to other applicable service fees and charges. If your account remains dormant or unclaimed for a period of time specified by applicable law, we must deliver your account funds to the state where the primary accountholder resides, under a process known as escheatment. For accounts owned by two (2) or more individuals, the “primary accountholder” is the accountholder that signed the W-9 certification for the account. If you reside in a foreign country or a U.S. Territory, the abandoned property will be escheated to the State of Missouri. Upon delivery of the funds to the state, your account will be closed and will no longer accrue interest (if such account was an interest-bearing account). To recover these funds, you must file a claim with the state to which the funds were remitted. If we are required to mail you an escheat notice, we may charge a fee. This section of the booklet includes information that you may find helpful regarding your accounts, and certain disclosures required by government regulation.
