Hawaii Unclaimed Funds

Hawaii Unclaimed Funds, Lost Money & Unclaimed Property

Aveida Asset Recovery helps current and former Hawaii residents track down lost money, unclaimed funds, and unclaimed property held by the state. No upfront fees — we only get paid if you do.

What Is Unclaimed Property?

Money Hawaii May Be Holding In Your Name

Every year, banks, employers, and companies turn over dormant accounts, uncashed checks, and forgotten balances to the State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property Program, run by the Department of Budget and Finance. If you lived, worked, or did business in Hawaii — even briefly, or generations ago — there’s a real chance some of this “lost money” belongs to you or a family member.

Because so many people move to and from the islands over a lifetime, and because Hawaii’s economy is shaped by tourism, agriculture, and military service, unclaimed funds here often include things standard searches miss: forgotten payroll checks from seasonal or hospitality employers, dormant credit union accounts, insurance payouts, old cooperative or utility deposits, and trust or estate distributions that were never delivered to a moved-away heir.

You can search Hawaii’s official unclaimed property database yourself through the Department of Budget and Finance at budget.hawaii.gov/finance/unclaimedproperty — we encourage it. If you’d rather not navigate the state system alone, that’s exactly where we come in.

Legitimacy

Is Aveida Asset Recovery Legitimate?

It’s a fair question — and one we want you to ask. Asset recovery (sometimes called “heir finding”) is a legal, regulated industry. Here’s how to confirm a service is legitimate:

  • No upfront fees, ever. Legitimate finders, including Aveida, work on contingency — we’re only paid a percentage after your funds are recovered.
  • You can verify independently. Hawaii’s official unclaimed property database is public. Search your own name through the Department of Budget and Finance to confirm funds exist before signing anything with anyone.
  • Everything is in writing. We provide a clear, signed agreement that spells out the fee percentage and what we’re recovering on your behalf.
  • Warning signs of an illegitimate offer include requests for your Social Security number over the phone before any agreement, demands for payment before funds are recovered, or pressure to act immediately without documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have unclaimed funds or lost money in Hawaii?

You can search Hawaii’s official unclaimed property database through the Department of Budget and Finance, or contact us and we’ll research it for you at no cost. If we’ve already reached out to you by mail, phone, or email, it’s because our research found funds likely connected to your name.

What kinds of unclaimed property does Hawaii hold?

Dormant bank and credit union accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten wages, insurance payouts, stocks and dividends, safe deposit box contents, and other lost or forgotten financial assets turned over by banks, employers, and companies.

Do I have to pay Aveida Asset Recovery anything upfront?

No. There are no upfront costs and no hidden fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover your funds, and the terms are spelled out clearly before you sign anything.

How do you spell Aveida Asset Recovery?

Our name is spelled Aveida Asset Recovery (A-V-E-I-D-A). Some browsers and voice assistants autocorrect it to “Avayda” or “Aveineda” Asset Recovery — that’s us, just misspelled.

Is Aveida Asset Recovery legitimate?

Yes. Aveida Asset Recovery is a legitimate asset recovery service that works on a contingency basis — there is never an upfront fee, and we only get paid a percentage if we successfully recover your funds. A legitimate finder will never ask for payment before you’ve signed a written agreement, or request sensitive information like your Social Security number over the phone. We encourage every client to independently verify their unclaimed funds through Hawaii’s official Unclaimed Property Program at budget.hawaii.gov/finance/unclaimedproperty before signing anything, so you can be confident this isn’t a scam.
