Compulsory State Loans were paid by the public in1961–1982. Loans were also extended by citizens to the State on a voluntary basis. If you paid a loan, or if you are an heir or the manager of the estate of someone who paid a loan, you can check on the particulars about it through the information system on the website.
Enter the relevant identifying details- identification number (including control digit) and name
(as it appears in the Population Registry in Hebrew).
If there are unredeemed loans, you can submit a request, through the website, to receive instructions on redeeming them.
The option of checking eligability through the system is not available in the following cases:
* The holder of a loan transferred it to a third party.
* The holder of a loan paid it in the 1960s (the database only includes certificates from 1970-82).
* The holder of a loan is a company, employer, or nonresident.
In such cases, please contact the Bank of Israel in writing:
Bank of Israel, State Loans Section, PO Box 780, Jerusalem, 91007.
