This is very interesting, and I thank the witnesses for the presentation. The requirement in the proposed Bill is that the banks make their best endeavours, and there are procedures laid down as to how they must do so, which include public advertisement and so on. However, it is not specified what those are any more than it is specified in the dormant accounts legislation.

That leads me onto my first question. Did banks ever approach Finders trying to locate the owners of dormant accounts?
