What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People seeking personal lending and refinancing describe dealings with Grapevine Finance as calm and well managed, with Gabrielle named again and again as the reason the journey felt straightforward. Accounts repeatedly mention that she walked them through each stage and kept them posted on progress, so nothing was left unclear. Those unfamiliar with borrowing say they arrived feeling daunted and found matters ran smoothly once choices were set out and queries answered without haste. Her broad lender contacts come up in connection with securing appropriate loans, while the guidance is called candid and shaped around individual situations, future plans included.

One client took up an Aligned Abundance Session blending holistic methods with grounded financial strategy, receiving a tailored energy and financial blueprint alongside structured planning. Another theme is the care taken with sensitive life circumstances and money matters, handled with respect and discretion. Quick replies to questions and thorough follow-through run through the feedback, and the warm, considerate manner is cited as often as the technical know-how. Satisfied borrowers pass her details to friends and family after their own personal lending or refinancing is complete.

From the first communication I had with Gabby I felt I was in the right hands. Gabbys professionalism yet personable nature from the get go had me feeling well supported and I knew that I would be well looked after. Her access to lenders is extensive and I am very happy with the outcome. I couldn’t recommend Gabby enough 🧡

I can’t recommend Gabrielle from Grapevine Finances highly enough. As someone who is quite new to the world of loans, I was feeling a little overwhelmed, but Gabrielle made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. Her communication was incredible ✨ always prompt, clear, and supportive. She truly held my hand every step of the way, patiently answering all my questions and making sure I felt confident in every decision. Thanks to her, I was able to secure my educational loan with ease. I’m so grateful for her guidance and care throughout the entire journey.🙏🌺✨

I purchased the Aligned Abundance Session as I loved the idea of holistic tools blended with grounded financial insight—designed for women ready to step into aligned wealth. I am someone who likes structure and yet seems to struggle with this in my financial space. Gabrielle tailored my session to my energetic and financial blueprint. I received a mix of insight and strategy, including: A personalised chakra energy chart identifying blockages linked to my financial habits My unique Zodiac Money Code with interpretations and guidance, including money blocks A guided oracle card reading, crystal chart with the chosen stone’s meaning, and empowering affirmations and journal prompts A customised bank account naming guide to anchor my savings goals Tailored homework to support ongoing transformation A ‘Budget Like a Queen’ planner, money tracker, debt tracker, expense overview, and meal planner—all beautifully presented in digital templates Printable visual charts and resources designed to inspire and empower Financial health check Facebook group and access to ask questions Book recommendation Following our session, I felt lighter, calmer and inspired to move forward with intention. I can already see an increase in my savings and decrease in unnecessary expenditure. I would highly recommend Gabrielle to support and guide you on our financial journey to abundance and wealth.

After realising one day I had my personal loan for a couple of years and it would be in my best interests to make my money benefit me. I contacted grapevine finance to refinance my loan and source the best options for me that consider my future goals, Gabrielle's assistance in this matter was prompt, professional, painless and a pleasure to work with at these important times of life changes. I honestly can't fault the commitment and service Lyle
