We built the technology the industry never had
California holds $14 billion in unclaimed property. The state publishes the data. Anyone can find it. But actually getting people their money? That's been stuck in 1995 — physical letters, manual paperwork, weeks of back-and-forth.
We're changing that. GVT Money is a technology company that automates the entire unclaimed property recovery process — from finding your property to filing your claim to tracking your payment.
What we believe
Radical Transparency
We tell you upfront: you can claim for free at claimit.ca.gov. Our fee is 10%, the legal maximum, and the State pays it — not you. We show you exactly what you'll receive before you sign anything.
Speed Over Everything
Search takes 5 seconds. Signing takes 60 seconds. We file your claim the same day. Other companies take weeks of letters and phone calls. We think that's disrespectful of your time.
Full Compliance
Every agreement, disclosure, and filing follows CCP Section 1582 to the letter. We're registered with the State Controller's Office. Your data is encrypted. We don't cut corners.

Trust is earned, not claimed
We know this industry has a trust problem. People get letters about "unclaimed money" and assume it's a scam. That's why we built everything around transparency: clear disclosures, verifiable registration, and a process where the State pays you directly. We never touch your money.
