Escheatment Solutions

NPG creates a partnership with Linking Assets Inc. and DMA to bring owner location and escheatment solutions to your bank or credit union.

Why Be Concerned About Unclaimed Property and Escheatment?
Nearly 70% of financial institutions are not fully compliant with Unclaimed Property laws – audits have increased dramatically, and financial institutions are at a greater risk of fines and penalties. With NPG by your side, we can help you retain assets and reduce your risk of non-compliance.
