A new interest rate applies to the compensation we direct financial businesses to make for cases referred to our service on and after 1 January 2026.
The Financial Ombudsman Service has been named by the National Centre for Diversity in its annual index for 2019 as one of the top 100 champions of equality, diversity and inclusion.
The index is a list of the top 100 organisations, across the UK’s public, private and third sectors, that make a difference in the workplace and promote fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement. We recently published our own annual Equality, Diversity and Inclusion report that sets out everything we’ve done over the past year to help make our workplace more equal, diverse and inclusive, as well as what we’ll be working on next.
