What is Settld?

Settld was formed in 2020, following the personal experience of our co-founders grieving the loss of their grandma/mother-in-law. The administrative process of notifying all her service providers (utilities, banks, insurance, phone, broadband, TV licence, subscription services etc) was complicated, stressful and time consuming. Such was the stark contrast to the public sector ‘Tell Us Once’ service, that Settld was born with a mission to deliver an automated, secure bereavement notification platform for all non-government accounts.

How does Settld allow us to improve treatment of vulnerable customers?

In February 2021 the FCA published “Guidance for firms on the fair treatment of vulnerable customers”, which includes those impacted by life events such as bereavement. The guidance advocates “having systems in place that minimise the number of times a customer must inform firms about their vulnerability. For example, a “Tell Us Once” style process where customers can notify a firm of a bereavement just once.”  This is exactly what Settld does, across multiple service providers.
