dormant account
recovery
Dormant accounts, containing unclaimed funds, pose a challenge for both financial institutions and regulators. These accounts tie up resources, create compliance complexities, and ultimately represent a loss of potential economic activity. In summary, publishing these lists is a regulatory obligation, however, they do not specify how to publish and manage these lists effectively.
In 2021,
76%
of adults worldwide had an account with a bank or other financial institution,
of which up to
26%
of accounts were dormant.
Examples of some countries:
• Singapore 300 million USD (3 largest banks)
• California 9 billion USD
• UK 15 billion Pounds
• India 26 billion Rupees

The global population is expected to peak in 2086, reaching approximately
10,4 mld
Dormant accounts exist, are arising, and will arise in the future.
Financial institutions lack the ability to identify where to find the original owners or heirs of dormant accounts, and conversely, these individuals do not know which financial institution holds their funds or where to search for them.
Millions of dormant accounts hold unclaimed funds waiting to be rediscovered by their rightful owners or heirs. Unfortunately, there was no mechanism that could connect financial institutions and rightful owners or heirs across the world. Moreover, without a breach of banking secrecy or a breach of personal data.
WIOLP allows a global solution.
WIOLP is a global AI-powered database of dormant accounts that helps financial institutions meet their legal obligations while providing a secure and discreet service for individuals searching for potentially forgotten or unclaimed assets.
