ROSEAU, Dominica – August 17, 2026 – National Bank of Dominica Ltd. (NBD) has issued a formal public notice outlining mandatory action for holders of long-dormant accounts, in accordance with existing national banking legislation.
Per Section 61 (3) of the country’s 2005 Banking Act No. 16, any bank account that has recorded no customer-initiated activity for a 15-year period is legally classified as abandoned. As of the June 30, 2026 assessment cutoff, NBD has identified a list of accounts that meet this criteria for classification as abandoned property.
To allow account holders or rightful claimants to reclaim their funds, NBD has set a firm deadline of 4:00 p.m. local time on September 17, 2026. If no valid claim is submitted and verified by this cutoff, the bank will be required to transfer all remaining balances from the classified accounts to the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) per regulatory mandate.
NBD is urging all customers who believe they may hold one of the identified inactive accounts, or are the legal beneficiary of a dormant account held at the institution, to reach out to the bank’s customer support team without delay. Claimants can connect with support via telephone at 767-255-2300, send an inquiry to the dedicated email address [email protected], or visit any NBD branch location in person to start the claims process.
For members of the public and media outlets that cannot access the full embedded list of abandoned accounts directly in this notice, an editable downloadable PDF version of the full 2026 abandoned accounts roster is available via the link provided alongside the notice.
