When a customer passes away, our commitment to them continues in the way we support the family they leave behind,” Mr Smyth said.","“Joining estateXchange reflects our focus on practical solutions that help make processes simpler and more accessible for customers’ families and their representatives.”","Research commissioned by estateXchange and prepared by Deloitte Access Economics found that administering a deceased person’s affairs can involve up to 37 types of asset-holders and service providers and typically takes nine to 12 months.","One in four people surveyed reported changing banks because of their experience administering an estate, while nine in ten believed the process could be improved.","The improvements consumers said they would most value were the ability to deal with multiple providers through a central platform, reduced duplication in the evidence they are required to provide and faster processing by providers.","estateXchange Founder and Co-CEO Sarah Poole said NAB’s decision had implications for the wider sector.","“Families experience one estate across many organisations. They should not have to start again at each one.","“NAB has set a benchmark for the sector and shown what is possible when a major institution connects its part of the process. Each institution that participates helps shape a better bereavement experience across the sector.”","NAB joins a growing estateXchange network spanning banking, superannuation, share registries, legal practices, financial advice and professional trustees.","As more organisations join, a greater share of the work involved in administering an estate can be progressed through a consistent process, helping reduce duplication and making it easier for professionals to support families.",[53,54,55],"estateXchange exists to take the complexity out of deceased estate administration.","Independent and Australian-owned, estateXchange connects the people and organisations responsible for managing a deceased person’s affairs, helping estates and related claims move through a more coordinated and consistent process.","By making it easier for information and documentation to be shared, verified and acted on across organisations, estateXchange reduces repetition and friction for professionals and institutions, and supports a better experience for the families they serve.",{"source":57,"title":58,"date":59,"slug":60,"author":61,"paywall":19,"image":62,"link":63,"summary":64},"Australian Financial Review","Macquarie backs deceased estate start-up founded by ex-NAB and PEXA execs","Jan 2026","macquarie-backs-deceased-estate-start-up","Sarah Thompson, Kanika Sood and Emma Rapaport","\u002Fimages\u002Fmedia\u002Fmacquarie-afr-street-talk.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.afr.com\u002Fstreet-talk\u002Fmacquarie-backs-deceased-estate-start-up-founded-by-ex-nab-and-pexa-execs-20260112-p5ntdh",[65,66],"Macquarie Capital's venture arm has led estateXchange's first funding round, backing a Melbourne start-up aiming to remove the complexity from deceased estate administration.","The raise also drew support from OIF Ventures and a group of prominent private investors, as the sector prepares for a multi-trillion-dollar intergenerational wealth transfer.",{"source":68,"title":69,"date":70,"slug":71,"author":72,"link":73,"summary":74},"Money Management","North partners to streamline estate planning on-platform","Jul 2026","north-partners-to-streamline-estate-planning-on-platform","Shy-Ann Arkinstall","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.moneymanagement.com.au\u002Fnorth-partners-to-streamline-estate-planning-on-platform\u002F",[75,76],"AMP's North has partnered with estate planning platform estateXchange as part of its efforts to deliver an end-to-end, full lifecycle solution for advisers.","As the profession gears up to handle a wave of wealth transfer and aging clients, estateXchange offers a streamlined estate planning solution that connects advisers, solicitors, accountants and beneficiaries to upload and share documents through a secure channel designed to improve visibility and reduce duplication throughout the process.",{"source":78,"title":79,"date":80,"slug":81,"link":82,"summary":83},"Forbes","Quick Takes: Three Australian entrepreneurs to watch -
