SpendMend helps recover unclaimed property from federal, state, and local government agencies on your organization’s behalf.
Is Your System Recovering Unclaimed Property?
When organizations think about unclaimed funds, the emphasis is usually on reporting and remitting uncashed checks and aged receivables. These compliance obligations are mandatory. Escheating open liabilities to the proper jurisdiction is necessary to avoid penalties.
However, while you’ve been fulfilling your responsibilities, you may be overlooking assets owed back to your organization. These funds often go unnoticed, and unrecovered, yet can add up to a significant dollars.

Pitfalls of Going It Alone
While most jurisdictions maintain online search portals that allow owners to identify and claim assets, managing a comprehensive unclaimed funds review internally is often far more complex and time-consuming than it appears. Variations in reporting rules, entity name discrepancies, and incomplete records can easily lead to missed opportunities or inefficient searches.
The process is too complex to effectively manage across 50+ jurisdictions with differing process requirements.
Teams often lack the databases, specialized expertise, and technology required for a comprehensive review.
The process is time-intensive and demands continuous oversight and coordination with multiple state examiners.
Without specialized expertise and tools, organizations recover only a fraction of available funds.
