Settld is a ‘Tell Us Once’ equivalent service for individuals to notify private sector “Service Providers,” such as banks, utilities, insurance and pension companies, of a death. They notify all identified Service Providers of a death in one go, to close, freeze and transfer accounts.
They do not charge members of the public to notify companies of a death. Settld was awarded UK government COVID-19 relief funding to get started. They also serve commercial for-profit organisations – such as probate practitioners and local authorities – who pay a nominal fee to use the service, which keeps it free for individuals.
