Mount Pleasant Quick Facts
How to Search Mount Pleasant Unclaimed Money
Start at the state portal: southcarolina.findyourunclaimedproperty.com. Type your last name and set the city to "Mount Pleasant." The system returns all property reported under that name and city. Try "Mt Pleasant" as well since some holders abbreviate the city name when reporting.
Mount Pleasant's rapid growth means many households have moved in from other states or from elsewhere in South Carolina. Former residents who lived here before moving away should search using "Mount Pleasant" or "Mt Pleasant" since the property is reported under the address the holder had on file at the time of dormancy.
Check under every name that applies to you. Use current and former last names, including maiden names. Search for family members too, especially elderly relatives who may have opened accounts in Mount Pleasant years ago. The search is free and takes only a moment.
Note: The state Treasurer's office also has a FAQ section at southcarolina.findyourunclaimedproperty.com/app/faq-info if you have questions about the search process or claim requirements.
