Israel runs a free official search for dormant accounts, and the barrier is producing your teudat zehut details. We identify what is in your name and hand you the route in. $99, full refund if we find nothing material.
Har HaKesef is free, official, and asks for no digital identity: an identity number and the date the card was issued. Alongside it, the pension clearing house will return a report across every provider for 20 NIS. We spend most of our time documenting systems that hide behind logins. This is not one of them, and it is worth saying so.

Why this market matters
Israel deserves real credit here. Har HaKesef is a free official government search for inactive accounts and it asks for no digital identity at all. Very few countries in the world offer anything comparable, and if you can use it, use it. We would far rather you found your account for nothing.
The barrier for someone who left Israel decades ago is the identity itself. The system asks for the teudat zehut number and the date that identity card was issued, and many long departed Israelis cannot produce either from memory or from old paperwork. Reconstructing those details, then reading what comes back across providers and the Mislaka Pensionit report, is what we are for.

Har HaKesef needs no digital identity. That design choice matters enormously for anyone who left Israel years ago, because the usual blocker in every other country is the login. Here the question is simply whether you know your identity number and the date the card was issued.
The Mislaka Pensionit goes further, returning a full report across every provider for 20 NIS. Occupational pension has been mandatory for every employee since 2008, so for anyone who worked in Israel this century there is almost certainly something on the report.
Everything runs in Hebrew. The identity card issuance date is printed on the physical card, so losing the card blocks the lookup until it is reissued. And the full government digital identity asks for an Israeli identity number plus two further Israeli proofs, which former residents and foreign workers often cannot supply.
Where the digital route closes, the telephone route stays open: Bituach Leumi answers people abroad on +972 8 9369669. Foreign workers have their own path entirely, through the passport-keyed pikadon deposit, payable abroad within 30 business days of a departure claim.
Providers carry statutory duties to locate their members. At the end of 2016, some 7.7 billion NIS was recorded as awaiting the heirs of deceased members. Estates are where the Israeli system, for all its good design, still loses people.
It does, and it deserves credit for it. Har HaKesef is a free government search for inactive accounts, and it requires no digital identity at all. You give the teudat zehut number and the date that identity card was issued. Very few countries in the world offer anything comparable.
The Mislaka Pensionit, the pension clearing house, returns a consolidated report across every provider. Har HaKesef tells you that something inactive exists. The clearing house report tells you the full picture, including active holdings, for 20 NIS.
Three practical things, and they are worth stating plainly. Everything runs in Hebrew. The identity card issuance date is printed on the physical card, so anyone who has lost the card is blocked until it is reissued. And the full government digital identity requires an Israeli identity number plus two further Israeli proofs, which former residents and foreign workers frequently cannot produce.
Quite possibly. The pikadon deposit scheme holds money for foreign workers, keyed to the passport rather than to an Israeli identity number, and it is claimable on departure with payment abroad within 30 business days.
Yes. Bituach Leumi, the National Insurance Institute, runs a dedicated line for people abroad on +972 8 9369669.
