The unclaimed benefits market is huge, and refers to any money or financial product due to a person that remains unpaid or unclaimed for a certain period of time.

The biggest pool of unpaid money is in pension funds, followed by BEE schemes, unclaimed shares and dividends, investment and savings products.

These unclaimed benefits often result from people changing jobs who are either unaware of the benefits they have, or simply forget about them. It may sound crazy, but this is a common occurrence in South Africa and around the world.

Take a look - you might be surprised by what you find.
