Nestie Finance

Know your IVF options
before you commit
to anything.

NHS eligibility, real clinic costs, and your actual success rates — all in one place, before you sign a contract or apply for credit.

Get in touch

IVF is one of the biggest financial decisions a household will make. Pricing is opaque, NHS entitlements are poorly communicated, and success rates are presented in ways that make comparison almost impossible. Nestie Finance gives you the information you need at the moment it matters — before money changes hands.

NHS Eligibility Check

You may qualify for funded treatment and not know it. Nestie Finance checks your eligibility across all 23 NHS Integrated Care Boards in plain language — before you commit to private costs.

Real Cost Comparison

See what 290+ registered UK clinics actually charge — including medication, add-ons, and financing options — so you can make a real market choice rather than accepting the first quote.

Success Rate Clarity

HFEA 2024 data, translated into a personalised probability estimate for your situation. Know your realistic odds before committing to a multi-cycle financial plan.

Consumer Duty & our approach

Building for the gap the regulation hasn't reached yet.

Nestie Finance was built around a specific question that the UK's existing regulatory framework doesn't yet formally answer: when a consumer uses regulated credit or long-term savings to fund a high-cost healthcare decision, who is responsible for making sure that decision is well-informed?

The FCA's Consumer Duty framework sets a high standard for retail financial services — but the information environment that shapes IVF decisions sits outside FCA's perimeter. Clinics are not required to present NHS eligibility clearly. Success rates can be presented selectively. Add-on treatments costing up to £9,500 per cycle are sold without the evidence base that financial products require.

Nestie Finance operates at that gap: providing the kind of clear, comparable, consumer-protective information that Consumer Duty requires in regulated markets, in a market where it currently does not formally apply.

Scope and limits

What Nestie Finance does not do.

  • Does not provide regulated financial advice
  • Does not make credit decisions or provide lending
  • Does not initiate transactions on your behalf
  • Does not replace a doctor, licensed financial adviser, or fertility counsellor
  • Refers explicitly to regulated professionals when queries go beyond its scope
How it works

Describe your situation. Get clarity.

Just describe your situation — your age, location, and circumstances — and Nestie Finance works out what you're entitled to, what things should cost, and what your options actually look like. No forms, no referrals, no waiting.

It won't make decisions for you. It won't file anything on your behalf. Its job is to make sure you understand what you're getting into before you do.

Why FCA support is relevant

We sit at a gap Consumer Duty doesn't yet formally reach.

Fertility decisions involve both consumer credit (FCA-regulated) and clinical choices (CQC-regulated). The information environment that shapes those decisions sits between both perimeters — and is currently ungoverned. We are not asking FCA to regulate us. We are asking for the tools to validate that we are doing this responsibly before we scale.

GDPR-compliant synthetic data

We cannot safely validate edge-case eligibility interpretations or cost guidance accuracy using real patient data. A digital sandbox environment gives us the synthetic patient profiles we need to test at scale without real-user exposure.

Regulatory dialogue on standard of care

We want to understand whether our eligibility interpretation and financing guidance outputs meet the FCA's "fair, clear, and not misleading" standard — and where the boundary sits between decision support and regulated advice. This requires engagement, not just legal review.

Secure test environment

A normal development environment cannot replicate the data conditions needed to validate AI-generated affordability guidance responsibly. We need a controlled space to test outputs before they inform high-stakes consumer decisions.

Current build and testing intent

What we have built. What we want to validate.

Current state

Live product at nestie.co/finance, processing real queries from UK users

Data sources

NHS ICB eligibility policy documents (all 23 boards), HFEA 2024 published outcome tables, UK clinic pricing from 290+ registered providers

Escalation architecture

Hardcoded referrals to GPs and licensed advisers when queries exceed scope — not configurable, not bypassable by the user

What we want to validate

Accuracy of NHS eligibility interpretation across ICB edge cases; whether cost-comparison outputs meet "fair, clear, and not misleading"; appropriateness of escalation triggers

Success criteria

Outputs reviewed by independent IFA and fertility counsellor; escalation rate mapped against query type; no autonomous decisions recorded across all sessions

Current gap

Real user signal exists, but no synthetic test population to validate edge cases at scale without real-patient exposure

Privacy first

Nestie Finance does not store your fertility history, health details, or financial information on our servers. Your conversation stays yours.

Privacy architecture

Safeguards

Built with hard limits, not soft guidelines.

Nestie Finance uses a six-tool agentic system — NHS policy logic, HFEA outcome data, clinic pricing, cost modelling, cross-border pathways, and a structured knowledge pipeline. What matters for consumer protection is not the architecture but the constraints: escalation to GPs and licensed advisers is hardcoded, not configurable. The system has no capability to initiate transactions or execute decisions on behalf of the user. Data minimisation is enforced at the session level — no health or financial information is retained on our servers.

When a query exceeds scope, the system does not attempt to answer it. It stops, explains why, and directs the user to the appropriate professional.
