Dormant account

 In general, a low-balance savings account which has shown no activity (deposits and/or withdrawals) over a long period, other than posting of the interest and/or service charges. Statute of limitations usually does not apply to dormant accounts, and their funds can be claimed by their owner or beneficiary at any time.
