Settel
Settel is a multi-currency wealth and tax platform for globally mobile professionals navigating the US, UK, India, and UAE - the four jurisdictions where cross-border tax obligations hit hardest.
80+ expats told us cross-border tax exhausted them more than anything else in their financial life. We took that personally. Settel is the fix.
I grew up in Kuwait — a tax-free country. My parents built their careers there. Nobody in my family had ever filed a tax return.
Then I moved to India to study, then work. A company accountant filed my taxes and pointed me toward “tax-efficient” mutual funds. What he didn't account for: I was a dual resident. Those investments made no sense for someone who might leave. I didn't know that. He didn't ask.
Five years later, I moved back to Kuwait, then to the UK. I built a life, a career, a consulting gig. And one day, a surprise bill arrived from the Indian income tax department — a matured FD I'd forgotten, an investment my grandparents made in my name, quietly accumulating liability while I was busy settling into a new country.
I worked in banking. I still got caught out.
That's when I stopped outsourcing my understanding.
I had an accountant in India, one in the UK, and zero clarity about my actual financial position across both. I was paying people to manage pieces of a puzzle nobody was seeing whole.

I'm Anita. I built Settel because I lived this — and because the system is still failing the millions of people living exactly this way.
We launched beta on Jan 31st. Settel handles multi-country tax obligations across the US, UK, India, and UAE — the jurisdictions where the three-country problem hits hardest.
If you're managing financial life across borders, you already know the tools aren't built for you. This one is.
