If We Reached Out to You

You're right to be careful. Here's how to verify us.

If you received a letter or call from Gateway Asset Recovery, it's because our research identified funds we believe are owed to you or your organization. These funds are real, held by an official custodian, and — left unclaimed — may eventually be forfeited.

We know an unexpected letter about money invites skepticism. It should. That's why we make ourselves easy to verify before you share anything at all: check our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, look up our Missouri business registration, or simply call us and ask hard questions.

"We will never ask for banking details, a Social Security number, or any payment to begin. A legitimate recovery firm doesn't need them to start — and neither do we."

  • We contact you — you verify us Everything we claim is independently checkable: our BBB accreditation, our business registration, our St. Louis offices.
  • You never pay out of pocket Our fee is a fixed, agreed percentage of a successful recovery. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing.
  • Funds go through official channels Recovered funds are disbursed by the holding institution through the formal claims process — not routed through us informally.
  • Full disclosure after a simple agreement Once you sign a confidentiality agreement, we disclose everything: the source of the funds, the amount, and exactly how the claim proceeds.
Our Process

A disciplined process, from research to recovery.

We handle every stage — the research, the paperwork, the follow-through with agencies and administrators — so you don't have to navigate a bureaucracy you didn't ask to be part of.

Step I

Research & Identification

Our analysts audit government, court, and administrative records to identify funds held in the names of individuals and institutions.

Step II

Confidential Disclosure

We ask you to sign one document — a straightforward confidentiality agreement. Then we disclose everything: the source, the amount, and the path to recovery.

Step III

We Manage the Claim

Our team prepares and files all documentation, coordinates with the holding institution, and carries the claim through every procedural requirement.

Step IV

You Receive Your Funds

Funds are disbursed to you through the official claims process. Our contingency fee is deducted only from a completed, successful recovery.

Why the confidentiality agreement first? Locating these funds requires substantial proprietary research. The agreement simply protects that work — it costs you nothing, obligates you to nothing beyond discretion, and unlocks complete transparency about your claim.

Who We Serve

Built for individuals. Trusted by institutions.

For Individuals & Families

Money you may not know exists

Funds owed to individuals often trace back to events years in the past — and the custodians holding them are not obligated to find you. We are.

  • A dedicated case manager from first call to final disbursement
  • Plain-English explanations at every step — no jargon, no pressure
  • Nothing to pay, ever, unless your funds are recovered
For Institutions & Businesses

Recovery at institutional standard

Corporations, funds, trusts, and estates are frequently owed significant sums they have no internal process to detect. We operate as a discreet, professional counterparty.

  • Rigorous documentation and chain-of-title verification
  • Confidentiality and non-circumvention protections both ways
  • Contingency-only engagement — no budget line, no risk

Leadership

A real firm, run by real people.

Gateway Asset Recovery is a family-owned firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. We built this company on a simple observation: billions of dollars sit unclaimed with government agencies and court-appointed administrators, and the people it belongs to almost never find out on their own.

Co-founder Gabe Kavitin leads our research and client operations. When you work with Gateway, you're not routed through a call center — you speak with the team doing the work, and you can reach us at our St. Louis offices any business day.

"The money we recover was always yours. Our job is to prove it, document it, and walk it through the process — so it actually comes home."

Our Standards

The commitments behind every engagement.

Contingency only

We are paid a fixed percentage of what we recover for you, agreed in writing before any claim is filed. No recovery, no fee — and no invoices, retainers, or "processing costs" at any point.

Confidentiality both ways

Your information is never sold, shared, or used for anything beyond your recovery. The same agreement that protects our research protects your privacy.

Verifiable, always

Our BBB accreditation, business registration, and physical offices are all publicly checkable. We encourage every prospective client to verify before engaging.

Honest Answers

The questions a careful person should ask.

Is this a scam?

No — and you shouldn't take our word for it. Verify us independently: we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, we're a registered Missouri company, and we work from a permanent office in St. Louis's Cortex Innovation District that you're welcome to visit. A scam can't survive that kind of checking. We can.

Why won't you tell me where the money comes from before I sign?

Locating these funds takes substantial proprietary research — that research is our entire business. The confidentiality agreement simply protects it. It costs you nothing and commits you to nothing except discretion. The moment it's signed, we disclose everything: the source, the amount, and the exact path to recovery. You then decide, fully informed, whether to proceed.

Could I just find and claim this money myself?

Sometimes, yes — and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. If you can locate the funds and navigate the claims process on your own, you owe us nothing. Most of our clients engage us because the funds we find are not listed in public look-up databases, and because the claims process involves documentation, deadlines, and follow-through that we handle every day.

How does Gateway get paid?

One way only: a fixed percentage of a successful recovery, agreed in writing before any claim is filed. We advance every cost — research, filing, professional fees. If the recovery fails, we absorb the loss and you owe nothing. We never charge retainers, deposits, or "processing fees."

Will you ask for my bank account or Social Security number?

Not to get started — ever. Early conversations require nothing sensitive. Identifying documents come into play only later, during the formal claims process, when the holding institution itself requires them — and funds are disbursed through official channels, not routed through us informally.

What happens if I ignore your letter?

Nothing bad happens to you — there's no obligation and we don't hound people. But unclaimed funds don't wait forever: many are subject to claim deadlines, after which they may be permanently forfeited to the holding institution or the state. Our letter exists because a clock may be running.
