About BillWill
Losing a loved one will never be easy. But it doesn’t have to be as hard as it is today
BillWill has been designed with a single principle: making the weeks and months after the death of a loved one a little bit easier
After dealing with the painful challenge of closing a single internet account after his father’s death, Colin soon learned he was not alone: around 70% of Australians recognised how concerning this problem is.
Colin, Bob, Gareth and Edd have joined forces to solve it, united by the common value that technology (and Open Banking) should be used to improve people’s wellbeing.
