      THE HISTORY OF SCRIPTA

      Leveraging Technology to Solve an Old Problem

      August - December, 2020

      Upheaval in the Unclaimed Property Industry

      In 2020, the largest unclaimed property service provider in the industry, Keane, was sold - separating its reporting and location lines of business. Upon its sale, Keane’s Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel, Melissa Steinrock, identified a need that was not being met. Specifically, a comprehensive and technology forward provider of real-time information to support companies’ internal compliance programs.

      Scripta is Born

      Scripta is formed and work begins on analyzing and organizing the laws of 52 US reporting jurisdictions across all property types. This effort is informed by Melissa’s experience as Keane’s Chief Compliance Officer, allowing analysis to be tailored to answer known pain-points among unclaimed property holders and service providers.

This supports our client’s needs by providing an easy tool to feed the many changes in unclaimed property law, regulations, and/or guidance into their compliance program at set intervals.
