Found money

Unclaimed property, forgotten 401(k)s, old deposits: Pally searches the official registries and files the claim.

Every state holds money people never collected: utility deposits, final paychecks, insurance refunds, dormant accounts. Pally searches the official databases under your names and your family's, then files what it finds.

The routine

How it works

Give Pally the names worth searching, including former names, and the states you've lived or worked in. Add family members you're helping.

Pally searches each state's official unclaimed property site and the national retirement registries, never a finder service that takes a cut. It runs in the background and texts you what it finds, or one message if it finds nothing.

Pally files the claims with details you confirm and sends you only what needs you: an ID photo, a signature, a notarized form. Ask for a claim's status any time and Pally checks the state's site.

A useful fit

  • Checking every state you have lived in, not just one
  • Finding a 401(k) left behind at an old employer
  • Searching maiden names and previous addresses
  • Running the same search for parents or grandparents
  • Filing the claim, not just finding it

Text it naturally

Before you start

Common questions

Is this a real thing?+

Yes. Every state holds unclaimed property and runs a free public search. Pally uses those official sites and the national retirement registries, so no middleman takes a cut.

What can't Pally do here?+

Prove you're you. Claims that need identity proof, a signature, a notary, or a mailed original stay with you. Pally fills in everything up to that point and sends the link for the step left.

How long does a claim take?+

The search can take a while across many states, and states often take weeks or months to pay. Ask Pally for the claim status any time; it checks the state's site and tells you where it stands.
