The power to settle financial complaints.

statistics about the complaints referred to the ombudsman service – showing the number we receive and the proportion we uphold
We publish complaints data every six months – showing the number and outcome of the cases we handle relating to the 150 or so named financial businesses that together account for around 90% of the ombudsman service's workload.
The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), also publishes information on financial complaints and individual firms' complaints handling – to help people see how firms are performing, and to improve complaints-handling standards across the financial services industry.
