About this statute

This is the preamble to Law 1777 of 2016, stating that it defines and regulates abandoned accounts and gives those resources an efficient use. The law says abandoned account balances held by financial institutions are to be used to fund an Icetex-administered fund for study loans and loans to support higher-education quality. This article defines when a checking or savings account is considered abandoned: no qualifying account movement for 3 uninterrupted years, subject to listed exceptions. Las entidades tenedoras deben transferir al Icetex los saldos de cuentas de ahorro o corrientes abandonadas que superen 322 UVR, y el Gobierno nacional e Icetex deben reglamentar y administrar el proceso. Las entidades financieras deben enviar listados de cuentas abandonadas e informar sobre el traslado de recursos; el Icetex fija las condiciones y la periodicidad dentro de 3 meses.
