Tracing old bank account
6 Answers
I opened a bank account about 17 years ago when I was at College - it was actually an offer, if you opened the bank account there & then, you got �3 deposited in it to start you off. I didn't ever lodge any more money & only remember getting one bank statement the next year, when the account had �3.08 in it. The bank has since changed name, it was Allied Irish Bank & they are now First Trust, but does anyone know if I would be able to trace the account? I realise it probably isn't worth much & technically it wasn't my money to start with, but it is intriguing me to see how much it would be worth now.

It may well have been closed as dormant after 5 years of inactivity, but they must keep a record of dormant accounts that have been closed (at least in england). I work in the IT department of a large UK bank and we are often being asked to trace accounts from years back.
