Understanding our data

Financial redress

So far, substantially more than £1 million of financial redress has been paid to SME customers as a result of BBRS intervention. The true figure is likely to be significantly higher as the BBRS is not always informed about the redress or payments agreed in some direct settlements.

Each case which comes to the BBRS is unique, and you can read an example of a resolved case in the link below.

Understanding our
terminology

Adjudications are awards which came following our full method for investigating a complaint. Those resolved directly between SMEs and banks, following BBRS involvement, are recorded as settlements. You can find out more about the different types of dispute resolution we offer in the link below.

Complaint resolutions

As of 30 June 2023, the BBRS had a total of 967 registered cases. It is important to recognise that beyond the 85 customers to have received a financial award or settlement the BBRS has also resolved cases to the satisfaction of the customer and the bank in instances where no award was made.
