Find money you've lost
Old pensions, dormant accounts, Child Trust Funds and unclaimed prizes add up to a great deal sitting unclaimed in the UK. Here are the official places to look. Nothing is saved, and Blooom earns nothing from these links.
You never pay to find your own money
You never need to pay to trace a pension or a lost account. These are the official services. Avoid any company that charges a fee or a % to find your money.
The government's Pension Tracing Service gives you the scheme's contact details. The scheme tells you what you hold.
My Lost Account is a free service that helps you trace lost bank, building society and NS&I accounts. You choose the provider you held the account with, and your request goes to them.
Use NS&I's prize checker with your holder's number.
If you were born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011, a Child Trust Fund was likely opened for you. GOV.UK's tool helps you find where it's held.
No. Avoid anyone charging a fee or a percentage to find it for you.
There's no need to do this all at once. A simple way to be thorough (nothing here is saved):
Every link here goes to an official service: GOV.UK, My Lost Account and NS&I. Blooom earns nothing from them, and there's never any charge to trace your own money through these official routes.
Each service's page checked 5 Nov 2026. Review due November 2027, or sooner if a service changes.
