How to Check for Forgotten Funds Using e-Devlet in Türkiye

💰 How to Find Forgotten Money Through e-Devlet in Türkiye

Türkiye has launched a new public service on the e-Devlet portal that allows citizens to check whether they have forgotten funds in bank accounts, electronic wallets, or digital payment services. The new system enables users to find unused balances within seconds and recover them if necessary.

ℹ️ The service was developed with the participation of the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (TCMB), the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK), and other financial institutions.

🔍 What Can Be Found?

Over the years, many people have opened additional bank accounts, virtual cards, digital wallets, or payment service accounts that were later forgotten. These accounts may still contain unused funds.

The new system automatically searches all financial accounts registered under the user's identity and displays:

• Old bank accounts.
• Electronic payment accounts.
• Digital wallets.
• Unused account balances.
• Inactive accounts that have not been used for a long period.

✅ All information is collected through a single government service, eliminating the need to log in to multiple banking or payment applications.

📱 How to Check for Forgotten Funds

Users simply need to log in to the e-Devlet portal and access the new service for electronic accounts and fintech wallets. The system automatically checks available records and displays any inactive accounts or remaining balances associated with the user's identity.

🆕 What Has Changed?

Previously, users had to remember which banks or payment providers they had used and check each account individually. The new government service brings all this information together in one place, making it much easier to locate forgotten money.

📌 The service helps users quickly identify forgotten balances and simplifies the process of reclaiming their funds.

👨‍👩‍👧 A New Option for Heirs

The service is also available to legal heirs. Through e-Devlet, eligible family members can obtain information about bank accounts, payment accounts, and electronic money institutions belonging to deceased relatives.

This makes it easier to identify financial assets included in an inheritance and helps prevent funds from being permanently overlooked.

The new e-Devlet service improves transparency by allowing citizens and legal heirs to locate forgotten financial assets through a single official platform.

📈 Why It Matters

As digital banking, mobile payment services, and electronic wallets become increasingly popular in Türkiye, many inactive accounts continue to hold forgotten balances.

The new government service provides a convenient way to check all registered financial accounts in one place, helping citizens better manage their finances and recover unused funds.

✅ The new e-Devlet feature makes it easier than ever to find forgotten money and improve personal financial management in Türkiye.
