Saving, Access, and Financial Empowerment Bureau (SAFE)

The Saving, Access and Financial Empowerment (SAFE) Bureau is a central resource within the Michigan Department of Treasury, dedicated to helping Michiganders build financial security and achieve long‑term stability. SAFE brings together key programs, including the Michigan Education Trust (MET), MiABLE, Mi Money Matters, Unclaimed Property, and the Student Loan Repayment division. Together, these programs support residents in saving for education, covering disability‑related expenses that promote health and independence, improving financial well‑being, protecting assets, and navigating important financial decisions.

Mi Money Matters

Mi Money Matters is a financial literacy initiative that offers Michigan residents free tools and resources to help them plan for a secure financial future at every stage of life.

Unclaimed Property

The Michigan Department of Treasury holds millions in lost or forgotten assets, from dormant bank accounts and uncashed checks to valuables from safe deposit boxes. When businesses can’t find the rightful owners, state law requires them to turn these assets over to Treasury, which works to return the money to the people it belongs to.
