At Setle, our mission is clear: to empower every housing journey by making home sustainability accessible and easy for everyone. Today, we take a significant step forward in that mission as we proudly announce our partnership with BNP Paribas Fortis.
Why is this important?
Belgium faces a major housing challenge: to meet the country’s energy goals for 2050, approximately 170,000 homes must be renovated annually. Achieving this requires more than just ambition; it demands smart solutions and strong partnerships.
By integrating Setle’s technology into BNP Paribas Fortis’ advisory services, homeowners and buyers now have access to powerful, data-driven insights that simplify and accelerate renovation decisions. Combined with the in-depth financial expertise of BNP Paribas Fortis advisors, this collaboration ensures customers receive both strategic financial guidance and a clear, actionable renovation plan.
How does this benefit homeowners?
With Setle now embedded into BNP Paribas Fortis' services, homeowners and buyers will benefit from:
-
A customized renovation roadmap tailored to their home and financial situation.
-
Accurate renovation cost estimates, offering multiple scenarios and financial implications.
-
Access to grant and subsidy information, maximizing financial support opportunities.
-
A predictive EPC score calculation, helping homeowners understand their home’s future energy efficiency.

Building a sustainable future together
BNP Paribas Fortis understands that financing alone is not enough; homeowners need end-to-end support.
