Located my deceased husband's shares
Registering on Gretel was the most productive this I have ever done since the passing of my husband in 2020. We are now in 2024 and they found! an investment for my late husband. It was not found straight away but I got a message that they will continue to search and I couldn't believe it when about 6 months later, I got an email saying they find 1 account in his name. I contacted the company and YES! there was an account with very significant amount. Without Gretel, that money would have been lost because I had no idea it was there. I will recommend Gretel to anyone in similar position.

Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate all the feedback we get.
Highly recommend
I found this wonderful service on Martin Lewis, Moneysaving expert. Whilst in my case (5 shillings from 1965 in an old Post Office Savings Bank) there wasn't a hidden surprise, they were amazing in helping me to quickly ascertain this fact. Excellent service.

Thank you so much for your review. We're always here to help.
Good to know they're still searching.
I joined Gretel a few months ago, searching for a lost investment and I had forgotten about it.
Although I was already aware of the new link Gretel found, it's good to know that they're still searching for my investment, and that the range of partners is increasing.

I had been looking for my pension for some years, and thanks to Gretel they were of assistance and they did a great good at finding it. Thanks to them I now have £45,000 for my retirement.
Great company. Check them out, great service was given me.

Very impressed. Very easy to use and came back with queries that were easily resolved. Thank you for helping me track down "lost" assets.

Thanks so much. There's a lot for us to do, but having the support of our members makes it all worth it.
Gretel found 2 CTF accounts within 5 minutes.
Straight forward and easy-to-use.

Thanks so much. We really appreciate the positive feedback and we're delighted that you got two matches.
Gretel - give it a try.
I was sceptical at first, especially when exchanging sensitive information, but I did my background checks and I was happy to proceed to sign up. The site is very simple to use and I’ve already had a lost Financial account appear on my dashboard and as Gretel sign up more institutions, it will automatically ‘review’ for based on the info provided.
If you think you’ve also got ‘missing’ accounts that like me, you no longer have records of, then this is the best service partner I have found to date.

This is a quite easy to use website
This is a quite easy to use website . I have completed the info but not heard anything back. I had pensions with previous employers but they don’t seem to ask any questions about them. So I wonder how and what do they search. Only time will tell.

Thanks for your feedback. We're still relatively new and there's a lot to do before we have all the financial providers sharing data. However, Gretel is always on. This means that once a member has created their account, even if there isn’t a match right away, Gretel will keep searching and any future matches will be notified by email.
Great so far, website so easy to use
I heard about Gretel on Martin Lewis, their website is so easy to use, especially being able to upload documents straight from your mobile!! No news yet but I have entered all my details and my late husband and fingers crossed there’ll be pots of money I didn’t know about 😁
