Published Financial Ombudsman Service decisions, 2013-April 2026

RSA complaints: what the Ombudsman decided

We analysed 3,947 published Financial Ombudsman decisions linked to RSA. This page shows outcomes, complaint types and decision patterns without rating the firm.

More complaints doesn't mean worse service — big firms serve millions of customers, so they naturally show up more often. Win rates reflect the mix of complaint types a firm faces, not a quality score.

Across the full dataset, about 1 in 3 clear-result cases ended with the customer winning fully or partly (33.5%). For RSA, this page shows 35.6%.
