New Hampshire State Treasury

Financial Management and Unclaimed Property

The New Hampshire State Treasury, located in the State House Annex on Capitol Street, is responsible for the prudent management of the state’s financial assets. Under the leadership of the State Treasurer, the department oversees cash management, debt administration, and investment strategies to ensure the fiscal stability of New Hampshire government operations. One of the Treasury’s most public-facing functions is the Abandoned Property Division, which acts as the custodian for millions of dollars in unclaimed funds. These assets, which can include dormant bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, and insurance proceeds, are held in trust until they can be returned to their rightful owners or heirs.

• Unclaimed Property: Residents can search for and claim lost funds through the Treasury’s ‘Find NH Money’ program.
• Cash Management: Manages the daily cash flow of the state, ensuring that funds are available to meet financial obligations.
• Debt Management: Oversees the issuance of state bonds and maintains the state’s credit rating to minimize borrowing costs.
• College Savings Plans: Administers the UNIQUE College Investing Plan and other savings programs to help families prepare for future education costs.

Stewardship and Accountability

The State Treasury operates with a commitment to transparency and professional financial standards. It serves as the state’s bank, processing receipts and disbursements for all state agencies. The Treasury also manages the Public Deposit Investment Pool, providing a safe and liquid investment vehicle for local governments and school districts. Whether facilitating the return of abandoned property to citizens or managing the state’s multi-billion dollar cash flow, the New Hampshire State Treasury is a cornerstone of the state’s economic infrastructure.
