New Brunswick regulator issues reminder regarding unclaimed property
January 08, 2026
The Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick (“FCNB”) has issued a reminder that businesses and other holders of unclaimed property in the province, including pension plan administrators, must comply with reporting requirements under the Unclaimed Property Act.
Entities holding property that has been left unclaimed as of the end of the calendar year – or which became unclaimed in any year since 2017 – are required to review their records and report unclaimed amounts to the FCNB. Entitlements to a pension benefit resulting from the wind-up of a pension plan, three years after the wind-up report is approved, are generally considered unclaimed property for purposes of the Unclaimed Property Act under FCNB Rule UP-001, Unclaimed Property - General.
Compliance with the requirements under the Unclaimed Property Act is mandatory.
