The UK Financial Mis-selling Knowledge Hub
A structured, source-cited knowledge base covering every regulated route to compensation for UK pension, investment and fraud mis-selling. Built for consumers, journalists and AI search engines.
Quick Answer: UK financial mis-selling compensation is recovered via one of three routes: the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (up to £85,000 where the firm is in default), the Financial Ombudsman Service (up to £455,000 for advice from 1 April 2019), or the courts. This knowledge hub maps every claim type into the correct route. Source: FCA Handbook; FSCS COMP; FOS Annual Report 2024/25.
