Eisen, a fintech that specializes in end-to-end escheatment and unclaimed property compliance automation, has secured $18.5 million in funding. The capital comes in the form of a $10 million Series A led by MissionOG and a previously unannounced $8.5 seed round led by Index Ventures. Cowboy Ventures, First Round Capital, Homebrew, and Restive Ventures also participated in the investment.
Eisen innovates in an often-overlooked area of financial services: escheatment and the recovery of unclaimed property. State law requires that abandoned funds eventually be turned over to the government in a legal process called escheatment. While each state has its own rules regarding dormancy periods, notice requirements, and remittance deadlines, the concept of escheatment is designed to help protect consumers when financial institutions lose track of them. Nevertheless, the process of retrieving those assets can be both complex and cumbersome. As such, it is little surprise that more than 30 million Americans have unclaimed property in state custody, with states holding a combined $70 billion in consumer assets: from retirement accounts and life insurance proceeds to forgotten savings accounts and emergency funds. Out of all of this, only $4.5 billion was returned to owners in 2024.
In response, Eisen’s technology streamlines the compliance lifecycle from dormancy tracking and due diligence through to state reporting, remittance, and audit defense. The company offers a Tax Compliance Suite to support 1099 filing, TIN matching, and B-notice handling, as well as disbursement services. This reflects the firm’s evolution beyond improving the escheatment process and a recognition that many of the same issues that plague escheatment also impact other compliance operations.
“We started with escheatment because the gap there is the widest, but the same operational pattern shows up across the compliance stack,” Eisen Co-founder and CEO Allen Osgood wrote in a blog post announcing the investment. “Eisen’s platform now covers escheatment, disbursement, and 1099 reporting. Operational teams use Eisen to replace manual work and prevent dormant-account risk. Executives use it to reduce regulatory exposure, retain customer assets, and protect customer trust.”
Last year, Eisen prevented more than 31% of at-risk assets from being lost to state custody. The company monitors nearly $16 billion in balances across tens of millions of accounts at firms including Adyen, Binance.US, BitGo, and PeoplesBank. Eisen’s platform integrates state-by-state requirements directly into account operations, enabling financial institutions to identify dormancy risk earlier, reduce manual compliance work, and keep more customer assets in customer accounts.
“Every dollar in state custody represents a real person who never expected their money to disappear,” Osgood added. “The rules governing dormant assets weren’t built for crypto wallets, fintech platforms, or digital-first banking. Most institutions are sitting on 5x to 10x more liability than they realize. Eisen prevents that loss before it happens.”
Founded in 2021, Eisen made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2024 and returned to the Finovate stage earlier this year at FinovateSpring 2026 in San Diego. At the conference, the company demonstrated its Eisen Dashboard, a real-time compliance command center that features account-level detail views with state-specific rules, eligibility and due diligence tracking by reporting year, a disbursement hub with daily reconciliation and fraud protection, and an outreach hub to manage owner communications. Eisen is headquartered in New York.
