Leave behind a secure financial handover. For the people you love
Your accounts, pensions, insurance, documents and wishes in one place. For you now, and your family if they need it.
This matters more than any feature
Your information. Your boundaries.
Putting everything in one place is only useful if you feel comfortable doing it.
Your money stays where it is.
Cairn cannot make payments or move your money.
We never ask for your bank password.
Cairn never connects to your bank. You add the details you choose, and never logins or passwords.
Your financial information is not sold.
Cairn is paid for by members, not advertisers.
You control the handover.
Adding a trusted contact does not give them immediate access.
See what you have.
Without moving any of it.
Keep a clear record of your accounts, pensions and property in one place.
A clear record you can build over time.


The best time to sort this is while there’s no rush.
You can start with one thing today and leave the rest for another day. What matters is having somewhere clear to begin.
What is a cairn?
A cairn is a small stack of stones, built by hand on hillsides and along old paths. Each one is placed deliberately to mark the way for whoever comes next, so that even in mist or fading light, no one is left lost.
Walkers add a stone as they pass. In wilder places, cairns mark a resting spot, or remember someone who is gone.
That is what we hope this is for you. Something you build, stone by stone, so the loved ones you leave behind can find their way.
Why we built Cairn
We wished there had been somewhere clear to start.
That’s my dad in the photo. When he died, sorting out his affairs turned into weeks of detective work. We went through statements, paperwork and old accounts trying to work out what existed and who we needed to contact.
Nobody should have to become a detective in the weeks after they lose someone.
