KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 — The Accountant-General’s Department (AGD) reported a staggering RM12.7 billion in unclaimed money as of January 31, 2024, according to the Ministry of Finance (MOF).
Back in 2019, the AGD announced plans to develop an online system to help Malaysians check and claim their unclaimed money. Today, this system is fully operational, making the process easier than ever.
Unclaimed money refers to funds or assets that have been abandoned, forgotten, or left inactive for a certain period. This includes:
Visit the official eGUMIS portal and click “Registration” to create an account.
