About EquiSearch
EquiSearch is a leading provider of lost account holder search and recovery services in the unclaimed property industry. More than 50 employees work at its corporate headquarters in White Plains, New York.
Since 2004, EquiSearch has prevented over 500,000 financial accounts worth approximately $4.0 billion from escheating to states by locating lost and dormant assets and account holders and reuniting them with their unclaimed assets.
EquiSearch works with banks, mutual funds, stock issuers and other financial institutions to locate missing account holders. Clients use our services to comply with SEC and state due diligence requirements, reduce costs associated with lost account holders, reduce assets escheated to the states and reunite account holders with their assets. We also help institutions to improve database accuracy and provide superior customer service.
EquiSearch was founded in 1988. In 1998, the company was acquired by ChoicePoint®, a publicly traded company that operated a number of different data management enterprises. EquiSearch was returned to private ownership in 2007, through an acquisition by Palladian Capital Partners, a private equity firm.
"EquiSearch is a leader in its field with a strong, experienced management team, a well established business model and solid platform for growth," said Jon Gordon, Partner of Palladian Capital Partners.
