8.28 Million Dormant Post Office Accounts... "Please Claim Your Ownership"

Korea Post Headquarters Campaign Until Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] "8.28 million dormant deposit accounts, please claim your ownership."

The Ministry of Science and ICT's Postal Business Headquarters is conducting a 'Dormant Deposit Recovery' campaign from the 26th of this month until the 30th of next month. Dormant deposits refer to deposits that have not been claimed after the payment claim rights have expired due to no transactions for 10 years. Post office deposits permanently guarantee the payment claim rights of the original rights holders in cases specified by law.

During the campaign period, the Postal Business Headquarters plans to notify customers holding dormant deposits* through AlimTalk messages, mailed notices, and phone calls. Additionally, they will promote inquiry and payment methods through both online and offline channels by posting notices on the post office website, the smart banking app, and at post office counters nationwide. As of August, there are a total of 8.28 million dormant deposit accounts, of which 7.74 million accounts have balances under 10,000 KRW, accounting for 93.4% of the total.

Post office dormant deposits can be easily checked on the post office website and the post office smart banking app, and dormant deposit holders can receive their deposits by visiting a nearby post office with identification and other necessary documents.

For more details, please check at any post office nationwide, the post office deposit customer center, or the post office deposit insurance website.
