Is this a fee that is disclosed at account opening? Is this a fee that is applied equally across all accounts?
I've quickly looked over the holder guide for Ohio and the Ohio regulations for Unclaimed Property and I can't find anything prohibiting a dormant account or escheat fee:

Many states frown upon fees put in place simply to reduce reporting requirements also.
