Get to know Ombudsman for Banking Services South Africa

Established in 1997, the Ombudsman for Banking Services (OBS) operates as an independent and impartial mediator to resolve disputes between member banks and their clients. The service is offered free of charge to consumers. The OBS's mission is to promote fairness in banking by investigating and resolving individual complaints, aiming to provide a just and equitable outcome without the need for costly and time-consuming legal action. It is a voluntary scheme, but all major South African banks are members, and its rulings are binding on the member banks.

License

A Grade License

Issued by globally renowned regulators, these licenses ensure the highest trader protection through strict compliance, fund segregation, insurance, and regular audits. Dispute resolution and adherence to AML/CTF standards further enhance security.

B Grade License

Granted by respected regional regulators, these licenses offer robust safety measures such as fund segregation, financial reporting, and compensation schemes. Though slightly less strict than Tier 1, they provide dependable regional protection.

C Grade License

Issued by regulators in emerging markets, these licenses offer basic protections such as minimum capital requirements and AML policies. Oversight is less stringent, so traders should exercise caution and verify safety measures.

D Grade License

From jurisdictions with minimal oversight, these licenses often lack key protections like fund segregation and insurance. While attractive for operational flexibility, they pose higher risks to traders.
