Connecting the Unclaimed with their Legacy

We Find What's
Rightfully Yours

Unclaimed pension funds, insurance benefits, provident funds and dormant assets — traced, verified and recovered on your behalf. We do all the work. You only pay when we succeed.

Who We Are

Dedicated to Recovering
What Belongs to You

Manuels Tracing Beneficiary is a fully registered South African private company (Reg. No. 2026/250539/07), led by Tamryn Lesley Manuel — a registered Public Officer and appointed Information Officer. We are CIPC registered, SARS tax compliant, and fully POPIA certified, giving our clients complete peace of mind.

We operate as a proud subsidiary of The Manuel Group (PTY) LTD — our holding company founded by Tamryn Lesley Manuel (CIPC: 9455312416). The Manuel Group unifies our tracing, digital, and lead generation divisions under one trusted corporate umbrella.

We were built on one belief: every South African deserves access to the money they have earned — no matter how long ago. Our specialists trace, verify, and recover unclaimed pension funds, life insurance benefits, provident fund payouts, and dormant financial assets on behalf of beneficiaries and their families.

We handle everything from start to finish — tracing, verification, liaising with institutions, and managing the full claims process. You sign a clear mandate agreement before any work begins. Our only charge is a 15% fee on the amount successfully recovered, deducted only once your funds are paid out. If we do not recover, you owe us absolutely nothing.

Integrity First

Every engagement is fully transparent. You are kept informed at every stage, and our fee structure is clearly set out in writing before we begin.

We Do All the Work

From the first trace to the final payout, we handle everything on your behalf. You simply provide your information — we take care of the rest.

No Upfront Fees — Ever

There are zero upfront costs and no charges during the process. Our 15% success fee is only deducted after your funds are successfully recovered and paid out to you.

Tamryn Lesley Manuel Founder & Director — The Manuel Group
"Money earned belongs to the person who earned it — no matter how many years have passed. That is the founding belief behind everything we do."

Before founding MTB, Tamryn Lesley Manuel built her career in the South African private sector financial services industry — gaining first-hand knowledge of how pension, provident, and insurance systems operate from the inside. That experience is what sets MTB apart: this is not a company that learned the industry from the outside.

The Founder's Blueprint is simple: to use that knowledge as a force for good. Tamryn founded Manuels Tracing Beneficiary out of a deep passion for economic justice — driven by the belief that disadvantaged South Africans should never lose access to money they rightfully earned, simply because the system made it too difficult to claim.

Tamryn holds a National Qualifications Framework Level 4 (NQF4) qualification in Financial Services and is RE5 accredited — the regulatory examination required of all representatives operating under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS). She is a fully accredited financial services representative, registered with the relevant authorities, and compliant with all FSCA requirements.

She serves as MTB's registered Public Officer and appointed Information Officer under POPIA, and is the sole signatory on all fund communications, FSCA correspondence, and mandate agreements. Every claim is personally overseen by Tamryn — from first trace to final payout.

MTB operates on a strict no-win, no-fee model. A transparent 15% success fee is the only charge — deducted once your funds are recovered and paid out to you. Nothing before. Nothing during. Nothing if we don't succeed.

Our Recovery
Services

We specialise in the full spectrum of unclaimed benefit recovery — from initial tracing through to final payout. Every service is handled entirely by us, at no upfront cost to you.

01Unclaimed Pension Fund Recovery

We trace and recover dormant pension fund benefits from former employers, retirement funds, and administrators — no matter how many years have passed.

02Life Insurance & Policy Benefits

Unclaimed life insurance payouts and policy benefits recovered on behalf of named beneficiaries and dependants who were unaware of their entitlement.

03Provident Fund Tracing

Former employees and their families are often unaware of provident fund balances left behind. We locate the fund, verify membership, and manage the full claim.

04Beneficiary Tracing

We locate named beneficiaries who have become unreachable, reuniting individuals with benefits held in their name using our national tracing network.

05Estate & Deceased Benefits

When a loved one passes away, benefits are often overlooked. We assist families and estate administrators in identifying and recovering all outstanding entitlements.

06Dormant Account Recovery

Dormant bank accounts and financial instruments are escheated to the state if not claimed. We act swiftly to recover these assets before they are forfeited.
