| The Bank of Israel is opening an internet site which will give the balance of the entitlement arising from compulsory loans which have not yet been repaid. |
| All citizens who paid the compulsory loans in the years from 1961 to 1982 can check whether there are any loans in their name that have not been repaid. Also the heirs of any deceased person who paid the compulsory loan can check whether there are any loans of the deceased that have not been repaid. |
| The check consists of keying in the identity number, including the final check digit, and the name as it appears on the identity certificate of the person regarding whom the enquiry is being made. |
| If there are loans that have not been repaid, the person with the entitlement, or in the case of an entitled person who has died, the heirs, can send a request via the internet to obtain directions regarding how to receive the repayment. In response to the request the Bank of Israel will send a letter to the address of the enquirer containing directions as to how to obtain the repayment. |
| An enquirer finding that he has outstanding loans in his name can obtain the repayment in cash at the Postal Bank (after presenting the letter that he will have received from the Bank of Israel) or via a credit in his account in a banking corporation. Repayment in the Postal Bank incurs the payment of a fee. Heirs can obtain the repayment by a credit to their account in a banking corporation, following presentation of the documents that will have been specified in the letter from the Bank of Israel. |
| Compulsory loans were paid in the years from 1961 to 1982. Most of the loans were reclaimed by the lenders or their heirs close to the repayment date or following campaigns carried out by the Bank of Israel to trace those with entitlements. |
| Another way to obtain repayment is to come in person to the Bank of Israel in Jerusalem, but this is not recommended as it is less convenient for the enquirer and could involve waiting in line. |
