Too bad you didn't have it in an interest bearing account. You'd have $500.12 by now.

It has probably been closed for you.

What Happens to Inactive Bank Accounts
quote:

What Happens to Inactive Bank Accounts

1. The account is dormant for a specific period of time.

Generally, a time frame of three to five years with no customer-initiated activity

3. The bank turns the account over to the state.
Once the account is sent to the state, the funds are held as unclaimed property.

If you happen to have unclaimed property held by the state, you can begin the retrieval process by visiting www.unclaimed.org
