Verified death notifications for the organisations
New Zealanders rely on
myTrove gives banks, insurers, utilities, telcos and government agencies a single, government-trusted channel to learn when a customer has died — so records stay accurate, billing stops, and families are treated with care.
The problem
You often don't find out a customer has died until it's already gone wrong
Without a reliable signal, organisations have no visibility of a death until a grieving family member calls — sometimes weeks later. In the meantime, automated systems keep running, creating billing accidents and distressing, insensitive contact at the worst possible time.
No visibility of the death
Your systems carry on as normal because nothing tells them otherwise. The death may go unrecorded for weeks until someone calls.
Billing accidents
Direct debits, renewals, fees and debt-collection continue against a deceased customer — creating refunds, write-offs and complaints later.
Insensitive outreach
Marketing, renewal reminders and "we miss you" messages keep sending — landing with grieving families and damaging your brand.
Every day that a death goes unrecorded raises the risk of an insensitive interaction and a costly manual clean-up. Being part of the myTrove network is how organisations close that gap — minimising billing accidents and protecting families before harm is done.
The solution
Receive verified death notifications, automatically
One simple, linear data loop. When a death is notified through myTrove, the right organisations are updated — no manual chasing, no guesswork.
A death is notified
A family member, executor or lawyer notifies myTrove and selects the organisations to inform.
myTrove verifies it
The death is confirmed against the NZ Death Register — no unverified data reaches you.
You receive it securely
A structured notification arrives either via your Secure Portal or Email to a work queue (or both).
You begin account closure
You can start your internal Account closure process or talk to us about how we can help you streamline this process for you.
Look up deaths from your Secure Portal
