Credit unions have a legal obligation to send written notification after seven (7) years of inactivity. Additionally, many credit unions mail inactive notices at the end of 12 and 24 months of inactivity.
To help find the owners:
Semi-annually CUDIC publishes in a Provincial newspaper(s) a list of names of the Unclaimed Balances it has been notified about since the date of the previous publication.
CUDIC makes information available to the public without charge by the following:
- Internet at www.nscudic.org
- Mail: Nova Scotia Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation (CUDIC), Unclaimed Balances Services Suite 212, 200 Waterfront Drive, Bedford, NS B4A 4J4
- Fax: 902.492.3695
A request for a search must include the full name of the individual, the addresses of his/her past residences, and the year of death if the individual is deceased.
