Real questions. Straight answers.
Getting started
Vashiyat is one home for your financial life. Organize banks, investments, insurance, property, EPF, documents, and more in one place — so you stay clear today, and the people you trust aren’t left searching tomorrow.
Anyone building a financial life in India — young professionals with accounts across apps, business owners with messy holdings, NRIs, parents, and retired couples who want calm clarity. The best time to start is while you’re healthy and accumulating — not only later.
Bank accounts and FDs, stocks and demat, mutual funds, insurance, property, gold, crypto notes, ESOPs, EPF/PPF/NPS, bonds, documents, and more — across 10+ categories. Metadata and supporting files, never your banking passwords.
You can create your account in under a minute and add your first few items in under 10 minutes. Building a comprehensive picture typically takes a couple of calm weekend sessions.
Nominees
When a nominee you named requests access, you get a review window you configure to approve or decline. We notify you across email and WhatsApp. If the window ends with no response, we follow the release path you saved for what you assigned to them.
You can add a designated guardian — a trusted friend, family member, or professional — who is informed when a request begins. They can help reach you, or pause the timer for up to 30 additional days.
Yes. Assign each person to specific items or categories — for example, your spouse sees banks and property, while your children see funds and stocks.
Every request goes through the verification steps you enable, with immediate notifications to you and your guardian. Repeated unverified requests are blocked. You can also require extra proof during request submission.
Trust & privacy
Never. Vashiyat stores asset metadata — account numbers, custodians, value, supporting documents — but never banking credentials, trading PINs, or OTPs. We will never ask for them.
Your information is protected in transit and at rest. We host and operate from infrastructure in India. Access inside Vashiyat is need-to-know, logged, and designed so your financial life isn’t casually browsable. See the Trust page for the full picture.
Your financial home isn’t something our team scrolls through. Access is limited to what each role needs to run the service, meaningful actions are logged, and we’re building toward published transparency reports.
You can permanently delete your account anytime. We remove your data from active systems and routine backups within 30 days. Full wording is in our Privacy policy.
Legal & clarity
No. Vashiyat helps you organize information and set up nominees. It is not a substitute for a registered legal will. We strongly recommend complementing it with a will and qualified legal advice where you need it.
Vashiyat helps them know what exists and how to reach it. Actual transfer of ownership still follows Indian succession law, your will, nominations with each custodian, and applicable personal law. We make discovery easy; legal transfer still happens through the proper channels.
Vashiyat is not a banking, broking, or AMC product, so we are not directly regulated by RBI or SEBI. We voluntarily follow strong IT and cyber-security practices aligned with industry guidelines for financial platforms.
